From the Firefly episode, The Train Job:
Lund: Your coat's kind of brownish colour...
Mal: It was on sale.
My costume for DragonCon is coming together. I even paid for the real leather holster that should look like Mal's. My coat is on order, all I have to do is: 1) win the Ebay auction for the replica pistol (which I should handily...or will end up paying too much for one from Amazon) 2 find a shirt.
I wasn't going to go in costume since it's my first con, and I also thought it was too expensive. However, the urge to dress up like a Browncoat was too strong once I started really thinking about it. I was even then on the fence about it until Sheri said she'd like it, too. She's dressing up as...honestly, I don't know. She has some ideas but has no name for them.... I had no real faith we'd be able to get something together, but looks like we did.
Anyway, I've been re-watching the Firefly series again, trying to get a glimpse of the costume stuff. I was just watching the scene with Patience from the Serenity episode and remembered how much I enjoy the simple character interaction and brilliant scripting.
Once the parts start coming in, I'll consider posing some pics.
