September 25, 2006:  I decided to dress up as Kaylee from the pilot of Firefly for Halloween this year. Using
Maggie's invaluable
research, I have started putting together my costume.  So far I have the four items pictured
below, all of which I purchased over the Internet.  Both the boiler suit and shoes came from ebay sellers, but the bear
patch and Chinese parasol are from sites that Maggie recommended.  
November 1, 2006:  Well I got my costume done in time for Halloween!  Of course, I was up until 1:30 that morning
painting the umbrella, but oh well.  It's done.  And I have pictures!  The first one is from lunch, and the second one is
from that evening, after I had spent four hours working in the scene shop and gotten hydraulic oil on myself, which
just made it more authentic!  Oh, the jacket and the shirt I wore under it were both given to me by my former
roommate, who is awesome.  Thanks Kit!

10-29-07:  New pictures!  Well, these are from June, but I am just
now getting them up.  They're from the Serenity screening for
Equality Now that I went to in Des Moines.  I entered the costume
contest and won second place!  Here is me with the other contestants:
 
Little River is the cutest!
