So, I had plans to just make another regular uniform, like I wore in Sacramento last year. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I had bought oodles of red velour weeks before, but had been stalling about the costume and finding someone for some reason. I wanted to use JoAnn, the woman who did mine last year (the original one burnt up, aka was Schmittered in an apt. fire a month after I got back from the Sacramento Con), so eventually I called her--it was about the 2nd week of July. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I already had the regular boots for the standard uniform, as well as the earpiece (from last year) and I ordered the Mirror pin (and patch) from Intergalactic Trading months before. I also managed to find a wooden ISS dagger on ebay which really completed the uniform nicely, I think.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I had been searching on-line for boots and I only found ONE seller on ebay that had thigh-high, low-heel boots that weren't a million quatloos. So, I finally ordered a pair. And you wouldn't BELIEVE what showed up---</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">6 inch heel, platform, lace up the front, zip on the side stripper boots.</span> </div></div>Nyotava, Uhura-In-Traininghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13615336800948632453noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885118880946708013.post-75509708482127514702007-08-14T21:06:00.000-05:002008-12-11T13:50:32.700-06:00Las Vegas and Nichelle Nichols<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzaUi0Ub_M1OBWQ-peKo6emHl0eJWfvfoBveS2bDsCALYggHlvKJaJH9kbL-xBnKjI8IWHM6OekDzcPudKD6JCVopGk6T9wyAMUZhE6drZ3YT261nyp9UeIrdiC4SWmCzvFRtfZWHgSWU/s1600-h/Ms.+Nichols.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098743345247761522" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzaUi0Ub_M1OBWQ-peKo6emHl0eJWfvfoBveS2bDsCALYggHlvKJaJH9kbL-xBnKjI8IWHM6OekDzcPudKD6JCVopGk6T9wyAMUZhE6drZ3YT261nyp9UeIrdiC4SWmCzvFRtfZWHgSWU/s400/Ms.+Nichols.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Wow, my first blog.

But I think right now, I need to sleep, considering I didn't sleep worth a darn the entire week leading up to the trip and while I was there.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">More to come. </span></div>Nyotava, Uhura-In-Traininghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13615336800948632453noreply@blogger.com1
