Are You A Trekkie?

 

[fuji]

That depends. Are these fans around?

 

[GPIDEAL]

Excellent photos Fuji! What porno is the first one?

 

[Viggo Rasmussen]

They prefer the term Trekker, but I call them Trekkies as well.

:eyebrows:

You must be joking right? Those are professional cosplayers.

 

[MattRoxx]

The woman in the top photo is pro cosplayer Yaya Han, she'll be at the Fan Expo in a few weeks.

While that stereo type holds true, I can attest from personal experience that at every convention there is a nice little sub-set of hotties and partiers. Especially now more than ever with sci-fi in general in the mainstream.

Basically you get a lot of mid-20's dressing up in slutty outfits staying in a hotel for a weekend drinking and their guard down. You get the tortured artist type, goths, shy ones until the costume up, wanna be writers and yes trekkies who are in the closet except at conventions.

In my younger days before going with my SO it was great. Remember that if you are normal, decent looking and hygenic you STAND OUT compared to the sloths. I didn't even have to work at it. Just get a room, stock with booze and and feign interest(with a passable knowledge of what they are a fan of) and you are good to go.........

Um. You do realize its ok to go normally dressed right? Like say about 90% of the people that go.....

If you enjoy the sci-fi/fantasy/comic et al genre why not?

 

[Lily Divine]

I want one of these. Problem is I insist on in person measurements for custom work and she works in Cali. :frusty:

Enjoy Jerry Goldsmith's Star Trek music tremendously. Does that make
me a trekkie.

At any of the conventions you will find dealers who live and work in toronto who can make and custom fit just about anything. I've seen some outstanding things in my day.

Fan expo and its like for the autograph hounds/toy collectors.

Its the small fan run/non -profit ones which are the good hunting and party places. They have a bit of a community feel. And if you do 8 hours of volunteer time(for the poor, I pay now and just have fun) the ticket is free. Or do a couple of panels.

But yes, you have to like the genre, not neccessarily be obsessed, but enjoy it and have the ability to firmly plant your tongue in your cheek(before planting it somewhere else).

LOL, being in a costume is not an admission requirement. And the Con is about a whole lot more than Star Trek did you even check out the site?

And I find it incredibly ironic when people on terb.cc put down other peoples' hobbies. At least Trekkers, cosplayers, Dr Who fans, Game of Thrones aficionados, scifi media junkies, steampunks, etc can talk about their hobby in public without fear of losing their jobs or getting divorced or being shunned by friends.

 

[Titalian]

I remember this one on one of the episodes, she was hot!!!

 

[clules]

I still dream of Seven of Nine

 

[IM469]

Yes, me too !
