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!

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!
