The Anthro World of Furry Costumes (Fourth Edition)

00d114ca37fbc952b584f5b80c3a48b0

Just as the 4th of July dies down over the weekend, the Furries descend onto Pittsburgh for their annual Furfest. Now given that it’s summer, you have to wonder how these people can wear these suits that can weigh as much as 70lbs. And unlike the Disney park costumes, I’m not sure if they contain fans. Nonetheless, these anthropomorphic cosplayers have been a source of endless fascination by many. Though some might resemble humanized versions of their animal, some can come in very bright colors. While some have a sort of mix-and-match critter thing going on. Anyway, for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of furry costumes.

  1. A fox should always show off its furs.
0a6982ebc0dc7a3e7c96cb1e7ba5ac6c

At least I think it’s a fox. Still, their fur has spots on the tail, upper chest, and ears.

2. My, what a handsome pair of horns.

0a28994265c50322d47f54a91a8e673a

Though I think they’re far from the savannah. Yet, they have hooves on their hands and feet.

3. Look, out someone’s green with envy.

000be618bfa2ecb38001bce71ef2c511

This one is green with horns and a white mane. Also, has hooves on their feet. Kind of a mix between a dog and a satyr.

4. Nothing beats spikes, horns, and scales.

0bd568c6de5cecb383eaa478b3a600e3.jpg

Despite that scales are usually seen on reptiles not mammals. Yet, you don’t want to go near this fantasy dog.

5. Guess this dog works for PennDOT.

0d5109a1a2f0342679966aba2b30d753

Because they’re wearing a bright orange vest. And it seems to be writing a citation. Wait a minute.

6. Need a paw?

0ea53ce48c57a9ce1ca59508291489d9

Someone’s willing to lend a hand. Though their ears are rather long.

7. Seems like you’ve run into a punk hyena.

1b50bd2b2ec2290e0ff6acc2c6e75327

This one has red fur on the mane along with some earrings in their ear. Reminds me of a stereotypical drug dealer.

8. Perhaps a skull helmet would suit you.

1c745bfa334fd57996f1486c526cf21c

Well, this one has a skull helmet with horns on it. But it goes well with the stripes on their body.

9. A fuzzy neck can be absolutely fabulous.

2a88efcd36802563d36389f7a2bef116

Yet, I’m not sure the black neck fur goes well with the whole fursuit. But they don’t seem to care.

10. Blue back spikes must always match the fur on top.

2afe1ee199b6c803d11da156f9fe4be5.jpg

And they seem to be on a beach in a palm tree location. So they must be roasting.

11. Sometimes a bright green stripe is all you need to stand out.

2bdf52c0d8ff95d8a32ce2c44a0c121d.jpg

Well, they have more than one neon green stripe. But they seem quite a climber from what I see in this picture.

12. One dog can have a coat of many colors.

2f4e6843db5d59aabd1d0ec376456b27

This one has some rainbow fur on their back. Though they’re sparkling and white up front.

13. We can all use a break now and then.

03c7193917eb9df4139e803fef86744f

This dog has yellow and blue fur. But right now they seem very exhausted. Must be the summer heat.

14. Someone’s getting funky on the dance floor.

3db81b0d5a14cd3484244ea1b67d80b0

Well, they seem more like prancing than dancing. Still, they must be sweating inside that costume.

15. A shark tail can always make a dog look badass.

3ec70daddc8b1c3fff5ef4ce0971b2ae

Sure it doesn’t go well with a dog. But neither do clothes or the color blue.

16. Didn’t know a blue dog could have wings.

3fb02bed0e674ba6cfe6790b3697692b

Actually bats are the only mammals with wings as far as I know. However, don’t hug them.

17. This bunny just wants to listen to music by themselves.

3ff383c01c683addc209d2a61854d452

At least I think they’re a bunny. Sometimes you can’t tell what animal these furries are supposed to be.

18. Never thought I’d see a green dog before.

4abe002a342cbd782a103f108952c309

Wonder what this dog would look in front of a green screen. Then again, you might not be able to see them.

19. This dog’s come well dressed.

4ac5285d0ccb0d0c607143bb2e0fedb9

Seems like they’re dressed for a job interview. Hopefully, it’s for a pet store.

20. Who says dogs can’t be badass?

4c68f7366d30de310f087984617b9770

And yes, they’re on a beach. Let’s hope it’s one in New England or Alaska. So they don’t succumb to heatstroke.

21. We all have our bad hair days.

4e48032af88d748a8debbd131dbe3d1e

Or bad fur days in this furry’s case. Nonetheless, this dog has spots and fuzzy paws.

22. Someone’s waiting at the door.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

This leopard is dressed in regular street clothes. Hope they’re not inside an elevator.

23. Sometimes you better put your best tail forward.

4fa487031d507a834b8682a2dd277caa

This dog just wants to strike a pose. Yet, they’re doing no favors being in front of a car.

24. Bet you didn’t see a zebra in a hotel before.

6a26806b9eec3307d4874cf89a72d298

This one has their front legs out on the balcony. Though I don’t think they have the best view.

25. This dog’s pants are totally ripped.

6c7cf103f2445e53e28ca32321237103

Yet, I wouldn’t recommend wearing ripped jeans. Especially if they came that way on the rack.

26. Bet you want to hang out with these cool cats.

7d44943e25f06961a7ba96dc7981cb7e.jpg

On second thought, given the ferociousness of big cats, I’d rather not. They’ll eat me alive.

27. This blue and green dog is eager to meet you.

7f7f0aa0e617ce6acaae1089d88c0131.jpg

They even have a matching bandana around their neck. Yet, their nose and tongue are blue, which should cause some concern.

28. You have to be batty for pink fur.

8aa42c98407819204ff6521f410d411e

You can see their wings. But I’m not sure if I’d run into a bat like them at night.

29. Want to get a load of this cool tiger?

8bed0cec05cadd4c3e7649866c9ac4e6

This one even wears shiny shorts. Then again, I’m not sure what those pants are.

30. You can see this dog from a mile away.

8bf464b920a30fe7022a7e901b53772d

Has 2 striped legs. One has black stripes. The other has yellow stripes.

31. Some dogs are just lone wolves.

8e16504d17d1e407e0e808a8d9623b1b

So it’s best to leave them alone. Since they just want to mind their own business.

32. No one could be as adorable as this black and white cat.

9c40d6f0cebf453902899e3d1802aa9b

Yes, they’re sitting in an adorable pose. And yes, they have pink eyes for extra cuteness.

33. Who can resist this eager purple dog?

10b6b07cf6de835f5b1b669353eb04c7.jpg

Well, a lot of furries don’t dress in natural color animal costumes. Still, they have pink claws and purple tiger stripes.

After all, kids will certainly go crazy over these costumed furries. Best be nice to them.

35. This dog lives for the ice and snow.

23e2694459f9938b8bce55877cbe7c74

Well, at least they won’t be subject to heatstroke. Nor would they need a coat either.

36. This lion might want a bit of privacy.

29be492bc06edc55ad469adf862ea8f7

At least according to how he stands. Though you have to admire that purple mane.

37. My, check the horns on this wolf.

31e4594ab1d1dbb702c8022d64e5e759

Okay, that’s definitely a fantasy creature. And yes, they have hooves on their feet, too.

38. Hope you don’t get devoured by this colorful tiger.

37b825985c79483ed31302422e73a671

This tiger is yellow with blue stripes. Wears a red bandana to round up the primary colors.

39. Bet you’ve never seen a bird this big before.

38b9d2e96f463d0cb37022efbcdfb3ba

Apparently, this bird is quite fuzzy, too. However, I don’t see any feathers though.

40. Never thought I’d see a purple dog like this.

43e03d62acb63e50d596c8bc282da692

This one has big paws on their feet with bright blue claws. Wonder how they sit with that costume on.

41. Perhaps you might take a look at this majestic wolf.

46eee9225332b12653e09df108883c77

This one’s wearing a ragged dress. Like she’s wandering a dark forest.

42. Even dragons must take a break once in awhile.

48c766ddc75c775b2bb304f6e826b855

Sure they don’t seem like they’re the kind to burn King’s Landing. But piss them off and you’ll live to regret it.

43. This lynx just wants to say hello.

59b990d0407bb98bf50f5c34c5f92bac.jpg

In case you don’t know, these fursuits can cost thousands of dollars. This is among the cheaper ones.

44. I don’t want to know what this lion will do to this gingerbread man.

62dd09b1776ca25fc1d0c997c50d2396

Relax, the gingerbread man is a prop since it’s a plush. But the pose still makes you worry.

45. Want this doe to give you the time of day?

72fa080a39f91982536c2d560e1b63ac

Well, this one just constitutes of a deer mask and a dress. Simple as that.

46. Your claws can never be too long.

74dffcae1ce8de9c2aac16df86fc9f2b

Don’t worry, they’re plush like the rest of the costume. This critter just likes showing them off.

47. Care for a trip to the beach?

91c9b1c5c8a722957bcd60390626ae28

Whoever’s wearing this costume must be sweating balls. Might have a tiger-striped fish tail.

48. Perhaps you might like a couple of colorful tails.

90eab78a0309a4b3c98764cb0c1c7994

One tail is black and bright blue. The other is rainbow. But both have dog faces.

49. Make sure the scarf matches the fur.

Guess this chimera likes the finer things in life. Hope it doesn’t rain.

51. Someone is a bit husky.

214a29cb153dda45a5c0e66e063bdc15

Since this one is a husky dog, obviously. But unlike those in Alaska, they don’t pull a sled.

52. You’d call this a hipster bat.

0272bd86014f6fa84b5675429330dad4

Since they’re totally out of the mainstream. Their fur is even in neon colors.

53. Just a couple of wolves in each others arms.

457e679cddc438c029e66c5fb64a160a

Though their den is way nicer than a lot of wolf dens. Despite it still being messy.

54. Hope you can’t get enough yellow and blue fuzz.

506c46a12aa08bbaa9bacdd05b8fd5aa

Since they have yellow and blue fur. Not sure what that animal this is supposed to be.

This dog is blue and orange. Wears a checked bandana and black rimmed glasses without lenses.

56. Someone’s really playing possum.

592ff2fee7666a79260891cbf43383e3

Even in bright blue and white, this furry possum’s quite ugly. Seems more like a neon rat.

57. This gray bunny only wants a hug.

751df18b1b2e7b1b7faffc54b7e02a4f

Seems straight from an anime. Though they’re gray and spotted.

58. Perhaps you’d like a calico fox.

787ad8f784667e05a92b12fc6bcd37e2

This one is in red, black, and white. And their back is quite elaborate don’t you think?

59. How about give this lion a hug?

0870e3be41e53f5d844d2c4be9263e7c

The lion even has their own collar. Though lions aren’t known for being anywhere domestication material.

60. A colorful bat should spread their wings.

884bfc8390cdbb05f364c43b7ac7213e

He’s a bunny wearing a suit. Also the photo is black and white like it’s the 1960s and he’s Don Draper.

72. This majestic fox carries quite an impression.

55719326f8b42a4012af2843fa866452

Mainly because they have antlers and blue in their fur. Also, their tail is quite long.

73. This dog rocks in the black and gold.

64515718ec1d7f4e2b6d5b3875db687e

I’m sure it will help them get free drinks in Pittsburgh during Furfest. Though their costume is more white than anything.

The Anthro World of Furry Costumes (Third Edition)

2c6f32ae4eb2366ddc62ce28c89c019c

In the hot and humid atmosphere of Southwestern PA in early July, the Furries descend upon Pittsburgh for their annual Anthro Con, which is the world’s second largest convention for them. Why they’re able to withstand the hot summer heat this time of year, I have no idea. But they come from all over the place and have money to burn so Pittsburgh really doesn’t mind as long as they behave themselves. This year, the Furries are stated to bring about $7.9 million to Allegheny County which is a big boost to the area. And with that kind of cash, you really don’t care where it comes from, even if it is from people who like dressing in animal costumes. And if you go to Fernando’s Café during this weekend, you’ll find plenty of Furries hanging out. After all, they raised money to help the owner keep his business through donations during the Great Recession. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of Furries for this Anthro Con weekend.

  1. A crouching dog is always ready to rumble.

Here he is ready to fight. Best not to mess with him or he’ll rip you to shreds.

2. This fox is ready to mingle in her bright red scarf.

She has her own fluffy tail with a blue tip. And she’s not shy to show it off.

3. Of course, you might have some hell hounds here and there.

Don’t they won’t bite. They’re just hanging out at the convention.

4. Always put your best paw forward.

This dog seems happy to greet their fellow furries. And will show their blue and yellow paws.

5. Someone must’ve received a package.

And someone can’t wait to open it. Wonder what it is. Is it a brand new chew toy?

6. A few pounds of kibble, please.

Actually they seem more likely to be in the candy store. Yet, I’m not sure what this person is supposed to be.

7. Only at Anthro Con can a bunny and polar bear be friends.

Because in real life, a bear is more likely to eat the bunny. And a bunny is less likely to be purple and yellow.

8. A cool cat can always be a snappy dresser.

This one wears a green shirt and a blue polka dot scarf. And they’re all dressed and ready to go.

9. This sitting dog is all covered in tiger stripes.

He’s also wearing a shirt and pants. Seems like he’s going to a concert afterwards.

10. This dark dog sometimes loves to lay about.

And he seems ready to show his claws. So best you leave like right now.

11. I thought dogs weren’t allowed on the subway.

Don’t worry, I’m sure he’s toilet trained. Because he’s a guy in an animal costume.

12. This tiger is locked and loaded.

I’m sure the gun is a toy. But he surely looks like a badass compared to Tony the Tiger.

13. Don’t mind the dog with this cup.

He just has a red Dixie cup on his nose. Guess he really likes to party.

14. You need not fear this friendly hyena.

After all, he’s not that filthy compared to those on the Savannah. Rather, he seems quite clean and friendly.

15. This dog loves showing his claws.

Since they’re all shiny and green. And so is his tongue which is kind of gross.

16. This tiger always loves to wander in the forest.

Well, they’re wearing ragged clothes for some reason. Yet, they like pouncing on the rocks.

17. No frisky fox can resist this vixen.

After all, sexy foxes are always seen as vixens. This one is no different.

18. This cat knows how to don a sweater.

Not sure how he keeps cool during the summer. But he doesn’t look quite bad either.

19. Get a load of this colorful cat.

Yes, this colorful tiger seems straight out of a drug trip. But they just like to hang around.

20. This dog always knows how to rock.

Here he is in his furry get up. He even has his own hat for his ears to stick out.

21. This cat loves hanging by the waterside.

Though they may not want to go into the water. Since it might ruin their coat.

22. This cat has the world on a staff.

This might be a character from some video game. Then again, you have to like their sense of style.

23. Every dog needs a break now and then.

Well, we all can use a break. Furries are probably no exception.

24. Someone seems quite excited today.

Well, they’re in their pants and shirt. And they have their paws up in glee.

25. Want to give a hand to this colorful goat?

Keep in mind that a lot of these furries don’t appear in colors that conform to nature. This goat is purple with green feet and horns.

26. This blue fox wears their heart on their coat.

Well, they have hearts on their upper arms. And they seem quite modest about it.

27. Want to play some ball?

Hope you can keep up in a game of catch. Then again, it’s not a game you should play indoors.

28. This horned cat is off on an epic adventure.

And they seem rather sneaky about it if you ask me. Hope they watch the horns.

29. These loveable animals love to train for a fight.

But they’re always in a good sport about it. Yet, don’t mess with them or they will fight.

30. This dragon loves to spread their wings.

Kind of surprise you don’t see a lot of dragons at these events. Since they’re among the coolest fantasy creatures.

31. Bet you’re expecting this white tiger to drop and give twenty.

Yet, whatever the case, this tiger seem irritated about it. Not sure why, exactly.

32. How about you raise your paws for this tiger?

Sure they may seem a bit dirty. But they’re happy to smile for the camera.

33. This bird of prey has come to roost.

This bird also looks familiar. Not sure where I’d recognize them from.

34. Get a look at this friendly zebra.

Because zebras in the wild are usually too mean for domestication. Since they have to defend themselves against lions.

35. This dog always loves to receive a heart now and then.

Doesn’t hurt that she’s wearing a wig and glasses. Don’t worry, she won’t bite.

36. This wolf feels rather ambivalent about city life.

And I’m sure they’re not in Pittsburgh. Since it’s a coastal area while Pittsburgh certainly isn’t.

37. This dog always shows pride in their ears.

And they don’t mind standing for the photo either. Still, they have their unique kind of charm.

38. Who says dogs don’t have wings?

Actually, dogs don’t have wings in real life. But in furry land, an animal can have as many attributes as desired.

39. Perhaps a snowy owl may interest you.

Though this owl likes to wear clothes like they’re from a fantasy story. Not exactly sure why.

40. “I shall call him, Mini Me.”

Well, they have stuffed dog in a similar patterned scarf. So you can get the idea.

41. This spotted pooch loves to sport a long jacket.

Guess they’re on a key mission. Not sure but they’ll never say.

42. This yellow beast sports a flower necklace.

She also seems rather coy about being photographed. But her yellow fur makes her stand out.

43. This wolf loves to play in the snow.

Not sure why Pittsburgh would host Anthro Con in the winter than the summer. Weather wise, it would make more sense.

44. Who can turn down flowers from this dog?

Indeed, the roses are fake. But this dog seems quite sweet with its puppy eyes.

45. Who says a tiger can’t come in on a scooter?

This yellow and black striped tiger shows otherwise. And they seem to have a rather good time.

46. I wouldn’t go near Puss in Boots if I were you.

Because when he shows his kitty cat eyes, he’s about to attack. Since he uses them to get his enemies to drop their guard.

47. Some colorful dog would like to say hello.

They may be dining out. But that doesn’t mean they won’t turn down a photo op.

48. Didn’t know they can do hand signs with paws.

Yet, they don’t seem to mind as they salute for the camera. And wearing a multicolored scarf around their neck.

49. Who wants to give a cat a hug?

There they are dressed and in a pile of leaves. But they seem quite happy to spread out their arms.

50. Bet you’d never come across a horse like this before.

Yes, that’s a furry horse. And yes, they almost seem like they’re straight from a fantasy story.

51. You always have that one furry willing to show off their tail.

This one has a long, striped tail with bright blue stripes on it. And they’re dying to show it off.

52. This cat seems like a slave to fashion.

They’re in a sleek skirt and matching skirt. So this cat must make herself fancy.

53. Best you don’t go near this big black dog.

Yet, he seems to keep his sleek black coat impeccable. But beware of them.

54. Who says furries don’t like dancing?

This fox always knows how to do the tango. Though I wonder if they know the fox trot.

55. This dog likes showing off their blue fur.

Well, their belly seems to contain blue shades. But they love to rock their coat for the picture.

56. This blue cat just wants to swing by.

They have pink and blue stripes. And they seem to like hanging around the spiral staircase.

57. This lion just wants to hang out in a tree.

Though they seem to have some spots on their coat. Not sure why that is.

58. This dog has to be in a harness.

Wonder if they’re kept on a leash. Though this dog seems friendly to me.

59. Can you give a paw to this pink cat?

She even has her own collar. And you got to love her pink spots, too.

60. This cat knows how to rock a suit.

Sure he may be a tabby. But that doesn’t mean he can dress too shabby.

61. Apparently, this fox has his pants ultimately ripped.

He even seems equipped with belts on his chest. Bet he’s on an adventure.

62. Want to play in the snow with this dragon?

Well, if you get cold, this dragon can breathe some fire. But they better not scorch a forest.

63. This brave wolf knows how to use an ax.

He’s even clad in armor for added protection. And I guess he couldn’t fit into the helmet and pants.

64. This bird has plenty to crow about.

This one has a bird spreading their wings. Wonder what kind it’s supposed to be since you have to look from the back.

65. Not sure if I want to run into this bear in the woods.

Seems like a rather realistic costume if you get my drift. Wonder how many times they get mistaken for the real thing.

66. You might want to get acquainted with this goat.

And they seem rather fuzzy in their white coat. Not to mention how they rock the horns.

67. This white tiger just wants to lay around with the other cats.

You have to wonder what the cat is thinking. Because it may not have the slightest idea.

68. All these furries want are free hugs.

They even have free hug signs. Still, I don’t think there’s much to worry about with them.

69. Bet you wouldn’t run into to this funky goat.

They’re mostly blue and wearing a hat over the scarf. Check out those pink glasses.

70. You wouldn’t like this polar bear when they’re angry.

And it seems that this bear is on the rampage. So best to stay away from them.

71. Apparently, this buck decided to go stag.

After all, he came all by himself. But I wouldn’t lock antlers with him on a bad day.

72. This cat knows how to use the Force.

Here they sit on the couch with a purple lightsaber in hand. But they will pounce when threatened.

73. Hope you didn’t think you’d see them in this post.

Indeed this is the Pink Panther. Cue the iconic Harry Mancini music.

74. Check this fox on the bridge.

Not sure if they’re in Pittsburgh. But the city does have at least one yellow bridge.

75. Seems like these two have a kitten in their paws.

Well, the kitten is a plush toy. But these cats seem to care about each other.

76. This dog greets everyone with open paws.

They’re even wearing a shirt and shorts. And they’re wanting for a hug.

77. This black dog has a rather sneaky side.

This guy is called Zippo Wolf. And I bet they’re in Pittsburgh for the convention.

78. Lay your eyes on this blue raccoon.

They’re even wearing a gray sweat shirt. Still, hope they don’t get in your garbage.

79. This lonely kitty needs a hug.

Well, they’re pouting at this point. So now may not be a great time.

80. This dog always loves to nibble on a steak now and then.

Well, as long as it’s plush steak. But they don’t seem to mind.

The Anthro World of Furry Costumes (Second Edition)

tumblr_nm976yaS8S1s8wywzo1_500

Once again, Pittsburgh has paid host to world’s largest furry convention, Anthrocon. I know many people might see it as a strange fetish. And for many people it is. But as far as Pittsburgh is concerned, as long as these animal costumed fans spend their money for food and lodging. Also, they seem to be a hit with the kids as far as the news reports make it. Still, you have to wonder how they’d put up wearing an animal costume in scorching heat is the question. I mean they’d have to be roasting in these outfits. After all, many of the character costumes at Disney World are equipped with fans for obvious reasons, not the least that the resort is located in central Florida. But still, furry culture can seem quite weird as you see in the picture above. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another treasure trove of furry costumes.

  1. That bighorn yak sure wields an axe.

Though I almost thought it was a bat until I saw the horns. Still, he has a nice suit of armor.

2. Seems like we have a spiked deer in our midst.

Even has a necklace in his likeness. Must be a character from a book he’s read.

3. Bet you’ve never seen a blue dog before.

Yet, he seems to have brown hair on his head. Not sure how to explain that.

4. This blue dog has some fins and a tail to match.

Well, a lot of furries do consist of mix and match critters. This one has a shark fin and tail.

5. You might give a paw to this scruffy animal.

Not sure whether I’d say they’re a fox or a dog. Either way, they must be hot under that thing.

6. Long ears never go out of style.

Helps if you wear a shirt that matches your black and purple fur. Though that might be stretching it.

7. Blue fur is always great at the playground.

Doesn’t hurt if they can show of their long tail. Though what’s with the blue bandanna?

8. This white snow leopard just wants to say hello.

Well, she she surely has a nice coat and tail. Hope she can catch the escalator.

9. Teal and orange never go out of style.

Though I have to admit, the bandanna goes quite nicely. Still, there’s a lot about furries I don’t understand.

10. Seems like nobody expected a white wolf in the city.

Interesting how a lot of these furry costumes depict dogs. Yet, this one is almost all white for some reason.

11. Sometimes natural earth tones are best.

Well, he’s flexing his muscles to look like a tough guy. Not sure if it helps his case.

12. Who are you calling spotted?

This one has orange and black spots on their back. But they really seem quite the character.

13. Don’t mind this horned dog hanging out.

Yes, I know dogs don’t wear horns. But some of these furry costumes are simply fantastical. Also, are those hooves?

14. How about you greet this cool black cat?

Even has their own collar. But don’t worry, they won’t give you bad luck if they cross your path.

15. Anthrocon is always a great place to spread one’s wings.

This guy came dressed as a fuzzy dragon. Though why they have fur instead of scales, I have no idea.

16. Sometimes a wolf may feel content in their own skin.

Bet they’re just waiting for their pack to return. Or they’re just a lonely wolf tired of howling.

17. Might want to check out this kitty’s jet pack.

Well, the flames are mostly made from tissue paper. But the rest of it almost resembles a the real thing.

18. Now this guy is quite the tiger.

Though when they say, “Be a tiger,” they usually don’t mean it literally. But this is a pretty cool costume nonetheless.

19. You can always stand out in red stripes.

This guy even has a red nose to match. Though the fur composition is quite a combination.

20. But you can always use some blue now and then.

Seems to resemble a husky of some sort. Then again, there’s much about furries I don’t understand.

21. You dare not to mess with this horny bobcat.

Well, she has horns. But she’s also dressed as a fantasy character to let you know her animal originally existed in her imagination.

22. These dogs just want to keep things casual for now.

Well, at least their clothes make them seem less freaky. But yes, the furry thing is pretty weird.

23. Seems like someone has their paws out.

Though the fur pattern is quite intricate. But I’m sure it’s not meant for camouflage.

24. This panda bear has left the building.

Not every day you see a panda walking around. Hope he can get plenty of bamboo before he leaves town.

25. You can always wear a scarf with red and gold.

Well, this guy knows how to stand out in a crowd. Yet, I’m sure you’d freak out if you saw a dog like this.

26. Check out this cool dog in black with yellow stripes.

Almost thought this was a horse until I saw thedog nose. But pretty snazzy if you ask me.

27. This perky dog is eager for anything.

Well, she’s wearing a lovely top and jeans. But the bow is kind of bland.

28. Never thought I’d see a minotaur up close before.

Also, I’m more used to seeing a minotaur in a stone Cretan labyrinth. And I heard he’s not great around people outside his family.

29. Perhaps it’s best to leave that fox alone in the woods.

Funny how they’re wearing a leather jacket. Wonder where they got that from.

30. It would be a mistake to ignore these furry girls.

They’re also wearing dresses that come best with their fur. So sweet.

31. Get a load of this red dragon.

Doesn’t hurt he has spikes on his knees. Though I don’t see the practically. Then again, it’s just a costume.

32. Might want to take a look at this horned cat’s long tail.

Yes, mix and match critters is at play here. Still, wonder how this cat gets around dragging that thing.

33. You’ll certainly know it if you ran into this bright tiger.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy sells highlighters when not in his furry costume. Then again, he may wear it on the job.

34. This big horned sheep is all ready for battle.

Then again, this sheep might be some kind of sorcerer or something. But I know what they use those horns for.

35. That goat sure has long horns.

Well, at least this person dresses as a bipedal goat. But I’d sure wouldn’t want to be on the horns’ receiving end.

36. Never thought this snow leopard would whip their sword out.

Bet you wouldn’t want to mess with this furry badass. Else you may learn the hard way.

37. This wadling osprey is slow to take off the ground.

Kind of reminds me of a bird of prey I saw in a cartoon. Was it Fern Gully?

38. How about a jump onto a fluffy bed?

Because any dog likes a nice soft bed. Though a furry in this pose is kind of freaky.

39. This bunny always enjoys a colorful sweater.

Love the hoodie jacket. Very colorful with rainbow sleeves and pockets. That rabbit’s got style.

40. Get a load of this foxy selfie.

Kind of reminds you of the selfies you might see on online dating profiles. Though this girl is more of a vixen.

41. Want to play fetch?

Not sure to drive the point with a ball in your mouth. Seriously, this is just freaky.

42. Nobody could resist purple fur in the winter time.

What the hell is this dog wearing? Is that a swimsuit? Well, at least there’s a fur suit underneath.

43. No dog wants anything more than a large juicy piece of meat.

Well, a plush steak will do. After all, this green dog only plays a role during the furry convention.

44. How about a shirtless leopard pic?

Then again, you can probably get away with this. Looks more freaky but in a different way.

45. Seems like this dog can really strike a pose.

Costume seems like it’s modeled after a real dog. Australian cattle dog, perhaps? Nice fur though.

46. These deer antlers come with white tips.

Bet it’s a reindeer. Though this guy is most likely brown in the back.

47. This blue dog has a star in their hands.

Well, you have to like the blue fur. But as I have to say, furries are a weird bunch.

48. This guy looks a bit husky.

Though chances are you wouldn’t see him pulling a sled. Yet, it won’t stop him from trying.

49. Nothing makes fur fun like some blue designs.

You have to wonder why people dress in animal costumes. It just seems to defy all explanation for me.

50. With this fox, just act casual.

Well, just a fox head and some baggy clothes. What more can you want?

51. This Canadian cat has a pair of high horns.

And this guy has the maple leaf flag on their belt to show nationality. Not sure why the costume includes horns.

52. This bunny knows the way of the samurai.

This one has pants and armor to boot. Too bad he didn’t bring a katana. Bet the convention center has a weapons policy.

53. May I introduce you to Lemonade the Angel Dragon?

Yes, many of these furries have original characters to their costumes. I know it’s weird. But I don’t understand it either.

54. Seems like this vixen can be kinky at Christmas.

Here she is in a Santa dress and leather corset, boots, and gloves. Guess this is for a Christmas card.

55. This black and white dog is jumping for joy.

Well, this guy isn’t as flashy as some of the other dogs. But I hope they don’t hit the water.

56. This blue dog can’t help but show off their long spiky tail.

Also has some yellow spikes on their ears. Looks good in jeans and a shirt.

57. “How do you like my portrait?”

Well, it’s more of a stylized likeness. But it’s better than what I could’ve drawn.

58. Hope you run into this friendly grizzly in the park.

Don’t worry. He won’t steal your picnic basket. Oh, well, if he’s not hungry.

59. With these two dogs, it’s pure puppy love.

One is a green dog holding the bag. The other is a white dog with flowers in her ears and a scarf around her neck.

60. This tough deer is all leathered for action.

Though isn’t leather made from deer. Oh, wait, they make it from cows nowadays. Still, freaky.

61. This vixen steps out in a sexy dress.

Well, she might have a certain type of outfit. But she certainly looks quite fabulous in it, as far as some furries are concerned.

62. Someone has to be top dog around here.

Guess this is a German shepherd. Though you won’t find him sniffing around any time soon.

63. Sonny Pup can’t help himself sometimes.

He even has a nice collar. But outside a furry convention, you’d freak out if you run into him.

64. Cacti never wants to be hugged. So don’t.

You see how freaky this furry subculture can be? Yes, this guy is Cacti. Don’t ask me.

65. This white dog can’t leave without wearing her pink dress.

Okay, that’s kind of strange. I don’t know what to think of this. Seriously, she’s freaking me out.

66. A yellow goat has to carry a red fan.

I bet this guy fancies himself a samurai. Though it just seems a bit creepy to me.

67. It takes a lot to maintain long fur.

And I’m not sure how this person take care of their costume. But some might find it amazing.

68. Looks like this cat has an evil plan.

This guy seems like a character from something. I’m not sure where though.

69. This dark horse always uses the latest Mane and Tail.

And this horse poses for a picture like a model. Show off.

70. These two are just foxing around.

Yes, dance at the water fountain. Then tell me how it was like to fall into the water. Sucks, right?

71. Seems like this dog decided to go casual.

Well, when in doubt, casual is where to go. Though the fur costume makes it a bit more awkward.

72. A zebra always has to know how to dress.

Though the stripes and plaid kind of clash. Seriously, a zebra should just bare it all out.

73. Bet you’d never get a load of this pink dragon.

This costume consists of fur and scales. Like either would go together save on an armadillo.

74. You can always love a dog in bright yellow.

He also has bright green paws and a blue bandanna. Can see him from several miles away.

75. Now that is one funky rabbit.

The bunny even has their ears pierced. But your eyes would be sore looking at this one.

76. This blue feline always enjoys the winter.

Though they don’t seem to be perfectly camouflaged. Though the coat’s kind of cool.

77. Someone’s feeling batty today.

But at least this bat doesn’t suck blood or eat bugs. Also has a nice medal around neck.

78. Ever saw a rainbow dog before?

Neither have I. But you’d probably see a dog playing with a balloon.

79. Rainbow sleeves never go out of style.

Nor do they need to go with a shirt. Because we all need rainbows in our lives.

80. This griffin always wears their heart on their chest.

This one even has small wings to go with their white body. But they stand proud.

Set Phasers to a Star Trek Christmas

587dd72a5e09a5a8e785c1fa090e5360

While I like to do later editions to different posts during the holiday season, I also like to do posts of something new. For this year, I plan to do certain themed Christmas stuff sort of like a Merry Geekmas if you will. Last year, I did a Star Wars Christmas post since they had a new movie coming out called Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And I didn’t want to put that idea to waste. After all, I already did my other Star Wars posts in November which I called Nerdvember since I also did Hunger Games stuff, too. So this year, I decided to do Christmas with other large geek franchises but I will start with one of the oldest and biggest sci-fi fanbases of all time: Star Trek. After all, they had a new movie come out in July which I watched in theaters by the way for my dad’s birthday as well as just celebrated their 50th anniversary in September. Besides, my family and I just got done with watching Deep Space Nine on Netflix which is a must see. So if you want to Trek the Halls, this post may come in handy for you. So for your reading pleasure, I give you some things that will help you have a merry Trekmas in your little part of the galaxy.

  1. You can’t go out in the Alpha Quadrant this holiday season without a blue Christmas sweater of the Enterprise.
AS you can see, wear this if you want to make it snow. Contains the Enterprise and Starfleet insignia.

As you can see, wear this if you want to make it snow. Contains the Enterprise and Starfleet insignia.

2. Even on Christmas, it’s best not to wear a red shirt in Starfleet.

Because if you watched the original series, you should know what happens to Starfleet personnel wearing red who get beamed down to the planet. And no, I'm not including Scotty or Uhura.

3. As Captain Kirk said, one of the best advantages to being a Starfleet captain is having to ask for advice without being obliged to take it.

Of course, he doesn't seem to take advice about abstaining from sex with alien women once in awhile. Seriously, Jim, I have no idea why he doesn't get any interplanetary STDs. Guess Dr. McCoy must have a great medicine cabinet replicator.

4. Top your Christmas tree this year with a star of the Enterprise.

Because there's no ship that's as iconic as this. Despite how much crap it goes through on a regular basis.

5. May you live long and prosper this holiday season.

After all, it's the most logical thing to say to your friends and family during the Christmas season. And Mr. Spock ought to know.

6. Seems like Mr. Spock has received a very special Christmas present.

And what do you know, a box of tribbles. Yes, the Enterprise is in for a crazy Christmas season with these furry pests that breed faster than rabbits.

7. Merry Christmas by a Borg assimilated Captain Jean Luc Picard.

Sure he looks pretty cute in that Santa hat. But come on, Picard wasn't himself while he was assimilated. And he inadvertently caused Mrs. Sisko's death in the process.

8. Grace your Christmas tree with a Hallmark Keepsake ornament commemorating “Devil in the Dark.”

Because nothing says Christmas by having to deal with the Horta creature that killed 50 miners on Janus VI. Spock must have his work cut out for him.

9. Nothing says “Trek the Halls” on Christmas like this red shirt.

This one has Spock on it in a Santa hat. Not sure if Spock would find it highly illogical.

10. No Trekkie girl should ever celebrate Christmas without wearing these earrings.

This pair consists of red green Starfleet insignia. Great for a December Star Trek convention in your hometown.

11. On this box, Spock finds himself in a winter wonderland.

Yet, he's standing up from a chair. Must be in an Enterprise holosuite if you ask me.

Yet, he’s standing up from a chair. Must be in an Enterprise holosuite if you ask me.

12. On the Enterprise, Captain Kirk decorates his own Christmas tree.

We see him here decking his tree with silver trees. Of course, he tends to make a mess.

13. If you liked Star Trek: TNG, you’ll love these holiday gingerbread cookies.

Has all the main characters from the cast. Of course, you couldn't care less about half of them.

14. Celebrate the holiday season with this Star Trek nativity scene.

This one has a lot of the stuff that pays tribute to Star Trek. Even features the Enterprise as well as Evil Kirk and Spock.

This one has a lot of the stuff that pays tribute to Star Trek. Even features the Enterprise as well as Evil Kirk and Spock.

15. Of course, when Kirk and Spock contact reindeer, they set phasers to stun.

Hey, at least they didn't come into contact with Santa Claus. Because that would've been bad.

Hey, at least they didn’t come into contact with Santa Claus. Because that would’ve been bad.

16. You can’t say “Merry Trekmas” without felt Starfleet shirt ornaments.

17. This Star Trek Christmas tree is everything a Trekkie could want.

This one has a topper of Starfleet insigina. And I guess its ornaments are the planets they visit.

18. You can never find a such a festive Starfleet approved Christmas sweater than these.

Yes, I know these are quite hideous. But that's the thing with ugly Christmas sweaters. Otherwise, it wouldn't be logical.

19. This Next Generation wreath will keep your Christmas fully engaged.

This one has Star Trek action figures as well as spacecraft. It even has a gold star in the middle.

20. Nobody is ever safe this Christmas from the dreaded Wreath of Khan.

After all, you just can't have a Star Trek Christmas without it. But we have to admit that Khan is a very bad guy. Still, this is funny.

21. Apparently, Mr. Spock doesn’t understand Christmas trees or Christmas carols.

Yes, Mr. Spock, I know such celebrations are highly illogical to you. But that's what humans have done for Christmas since like the mid-1800s. In Germany, it was earlier.

22. Make it a winter wonderland with these Star Trek snowflakes.

This one has Star Trek insignia for each dector on the ship. Have to love the designs here.

This one has Star Trek insignia for each sector on the ship. Have to love the designs here.

23. If you love Trekmas, you have to get a load of the Enterprise in lights.

Now this had to be made by someone with way too much time on their hands. Seriously, this is just highly illogical to me.

Now this had to be made by someone with way too much time on their hands. Seriously, this is just highly illogical to me.

24. How about a Christmas sweater with Captain Kirk, Spock, and Dr. McCoy?

Even better is how they're all wearing Santa hats to get in the Christmas spirit. But it's a must have for any Trekkie.

25. Be engaged this Christmas with this gingerbread Enterprise.

What baffles me about this work is how they got the Enterprise to stand like that. Still, like how they use a candy cane beam. This is great.

26. A Christmas wreath like this will sure make an impression in the Alpha Quadrant.

28. As a Klingon would say, today is a good day to die.

Not sure if it's something I'd want on a Christmas tree. But it's in the Klingnon spirit of things.

Not sure if it’s something I’d want on a Christmas tree. But it’s in the Klingon spirit of things.

29. Odo always investigates Quark.

Let's hope Odo doesn't see what Quark gave him for Christmas. Also, why don't they have a lot of DS9 Christmas stuff out there? I mean it was a great series for God's sake.

30. Of course, you’ll find a lot of tribbles in this Star Trek ornament.

After all, tribbles must be easy creatures to make. Yet, though they may be cute puff balls, they can become a nightmare, especially to Klingnons.

31. As Captain Picard would say this holiday season, “Make it snow.”

And believe me, there are a lot of Christmas cards that have him say this. This is the one I liked the best.

And believe me, there are a lot of Christmas cards that have him say this. This is the one I liked the best.

32. Klingnon women hurl heavy objects, Klingon men read poetry and duck a lot.

And yes, Klingnon women can be just as fierce as the men. Worf would know that better than anyone.

And yes, Klingon women can be just as fierce as the men. Worf would know that better than anyone.

33. Mr. Spock wishes you live long and prosper this Christmas.

Yes, I know I included it on a Christmas sweater already. But I couldn't resist putting this card on the post.

Yes, I know I included it on a Christmas sweater already. But I couldn’t resist putting this card on the post.

34. Seems like Santa has come to help the Enterprise this season.

And this one shows that Santa's reindeer might be distinct lifeforms altogether. Wonder what happened to the Enterprise to get in this situation.

36. For Spock Christmas is always live long and presents.

After all, Christmas is a time for presents. Still, this one is quite cute.

After all, Christmas is a time for presents, logically speaking. Still, this one is quite cute.

37. Now you can have an ugly Christmas sweater of the Enterprise in 3 different colors.

Available in red, green, and white. The white one has a red and green design. Still, you know what happens if you get the red one.

38. This Christmas Captain Picard consults the Captain’s Yule Log.

And it seems like his yule log is a Hostess Ho Ho. Okay, let the Captain have his treat, shall we?

39. Wish your loved one a “Merry Trekmas” with these cards.

Consists of a Klingnon Christmas tree, Santa hat Starfleet insignia, and a Starlfeet insignia pulled by reindeer. A very Trekkie way to wish your loved ones well.

40. Nothing makes your Trekmas tree complete like a Star Trek tree skirt.

Come in 4 different types as you see here. Consists of gold, blue, teal, and red.

42. As this ugly Christmas sweater says, “Trek yourself before you wreck yourself!”

This one even features Spock with a Santa hat. Like silver tinsel trimmings, too.

43. Santa receives a letter and present from Captain James T. Kirk of the Enterprise.

Unfortunately, Santa received a ton of tribbles and a request not to send the Enterpise any. And you can't argue with Jim on this one. But poor Santa.

Sure it may say "Merry Christmas" in Klingnon. But Worf is not a merry man.

45. Send your loved ones these Star Trek cards this Christmas to Trek the halls.

This set is from the original series. Like the one depicting Dr. McCoy as Santa. Since he makes one grumpy St. Nick.

46. Grace your Christmas tree this year with this Borg cube ornament.

Because nothing says Christmas like a cube that's home to a race that assimilates people into their ranks and tries to destroy everything. Seriously, the Borg are among the most vile Star Trek bad guys for a reason.

51. As we all know, Santa always tries to merrily go where no man has gone before.

52. The red shirt gingerbread man always gets eaten first.

53. Looks like Captain Kirk got a very special Christmas present.

And what do you know? A new captain's shirt. At any rate, he surely needed it. Since a lot of his get ripped apart.

54. Merry Christmas from Kirk, Spock, and Snow Bones.

59. Merry Christmas from the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet Academy.

After all, though the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet Academy tries to respect the traditions of all planets, they usually let everyone have Christmas break off. Because, well, humans.

60. Remember, Starfleet officers, use the stocking that goes with your uniform.

If the original series was a guide, my guess is you wouldn't want the red one. Though it's the most Christmasy out of the 3.

61. Not to fear for TNG Christmas cards are here.

Once again, there's one for each character. Nevertheless, I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't include one of Miles O'Brien or anyone else from DS9 sans Worf.

63. As a Christmas tree topper, angel Spock is a most logical choice.

However, it's all nice until you think about how Spock died of radiation poisoning in The Wrath of Khan. Then it's kind of disturbing.

72. The Worfs would like to wish you a Merry Christmas.

Tragically, the Worfs' domestic happiness wasn't destined to last long. Because K'Ehleyr would later die and his son would later be sent away to his family on Earth. Sure he later marries Jadzia Dax but she dies, too.

Yes, they have an ornament of DS9. Kind of wish they had more of the characters besides Worf and Sisko. Besides, Quark would see Christmas as a great opportunity for profit.

81. Fans of the original series just have to put a green girl ornament on their tree.

The Anthro World of Furry Costumes

IMG_2665-e1436649175774

Along with the 4th of July festivities this weekend in Pittsburgh (sans Three Rivers Regatta), from June 30th to July 3rd, the Steel City will pay host to Anthrocon at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center which will celebrate its 20th anniversary. Anthrocon is said to be the world’s largest furry convention which takes place in a city that’s only an hour from where I live. So as a resident of Southwestern, Pennsylvania, there’s really no way I can avoid discussing the furry subculture. Yet, despite that Anthrocon has been held in Pittsburgh since 2006, I wasn’t aware of their existence until I was on summer break from college in 2009 when my dad read aloud an article from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about a political staffer for one of the infamous Orie sisters got in trouble for trying to solicit sex with a 15-year-old boy. Now I know that stories revolving around child molestation aren’t funny nor something you should laugh at. However, the fact this guy was also a furry and how the article got into his furry activities sounded so utterly ridiculous that I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. That being said, I know it wasn’t right of me to do that and I acknowledge that most furries aren’t a bunch of depraved sex maniacs despite the stereotype. So what’s a furry? Well, a furries are people who are into anthropomorphic animal characters, many of whom dress in animal costumes, adopt fursonas, and attend furry conventions and parades. There’s also a lot of furry artwork that I’ve viewed while I was searching for costumes for this article. The furry fandom itself draws inspiration from fictional works pertaining to animal characters in science fiction, fantasy, and allegory like Watership Down, Kimba the White Lion, Sonic the Hedgehog, Star Fox, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Redwall, and Disney’s Robin Hood. However, while furry conventions have existed since the 1980s, the furry fandom didn’t become the subculture it is today until the Internet was made available to the general population. However, while depraved perverts do exist among the Furry Fandom (like the political staffer I previously mentioned), this stereotype doesn’t describe most furries. But the media has with casting them that way as seen by the example I discussed above that many people assume they are. As for the city of Pittsburgh, well, they don’t mind so much as long as the furries behave themselves and spend their money. That being said, for your reading pleasure, I give you a treasure trove of furry costumes.

 

  1. Sometimes you’ll find people who never seemed to outgrow My Little Pony.
Not sure who the white and blue unicorn is. But the other one is Pinkie Pie. Sorry, but I'm not familiar with My Little Pony.

Not sure who the white and blue unicorn is. But the other one is Rainbow Dash. Sorry, but I’m not familiar with My Little Pony.

2. Don’t see a sheep on two legs every day.

Also, I don't think real sheep have two sets of horns. Guess this is probably because big horns look awesome.

3. This leopard prefers to lounge around in a kimono with a matching parasol.

However, this leopard doesn't really seem content. Also has blond hair for some reason.

4. This Great Horned Owl is said to be quite a wizard.

It's obvious this guy is a Harry Potter fan. However, his scarf suggests that he's from Slytherin.

But this creature has to be careful where it puts its tail. Like the sunglasses though.

7. Guess these two are a couple of traveling jack rabbits.

I was right. After all, they have their backpacks, bandannas, hats, and everything.

9. These two dogs have no trouble being noticed.

Because these two are in bright colors that you wouldn't see on most mammals in nature. Neon orange and bright blue, come on.

10. For this fox, flying is a breeze.

You should note that some of these costumes do include mix and match critter. And some creatures in fantasy and mythology. This fox also has horns, by the way.

Then again, he might be some kind of chimera if my mythology is right. Probably one that lacks horns.

15. This zebra really enjoys the view from the balcony.

While zebras are horses, they were never domesticated because they have very bad tempers. Given that they're lion prey, this is understandable.

Or just a fox dressed in business attire? I can't really tell for sure.

17. This dalmatian has a Mickey Mouse spot.

Remind him that he be wary of a skinny middle aged woman in furs with a cigarette handle. Because Cruella just has to have a puppy fur coat.

18. How about a “hi” from a friendly polar bear?

Well, that looks quite realistic for an animal costume. But real polar bears aren't friendly. Remember that.

Wasn't a cat like this featured in an Edgar Allan Poe story? Then again, it's missing a pupil.

20. Guess this pooch prefers a dog in uniform.

That looks pretty awkward. Then again, it's probably played for comedy.

24. Bet this dog is a little bit husky.

Why does he have white eyebrows? Because I don't think dogs have them. Oh, wait, furries are fans of anthropomorphic characters. That explains it.

25. Now that is one funky colored fox.

As you can see, furry costumes don't always have to be in natural colors. This one is in pink and black. And is sure to stand out 24/7.

Guess this is a case of a mix and match critter holding a couple powerful weapons. Of course, they're props but still. Don't know what this is.

31. Heard of a blue beast with bat wings?

That's something you don't see every day. I'm sure it's a fox. But you'd have to wonder if it was inspired by a drug trip.

She's just minding her own business. Not sure about the girly dress though.

36. A lone wolf needs to fend for himself in the West.

Because the lone wolves don't have the packs to back them up. So they're drifting from town to town, getting into saloon gun matches and high noon showdowns.

37. “Which way to the North Pole?”

Odd, because I thought Santa's reindeer were at the North Pole 24/7 save Christmas Eve. Then again, I may be wrong.

Then again, funky colors in nature tend to be warnings to stay away. So he might be poisonous.

45. As for what to call this creature, I don’t have the slightest idea.

Honestly, I don't know what this is supposed to be. Is it from outer space? Was it made in a lab by some mad scientist?

It's said to be a jackrabbit with antlers from the American Southwest. In reality, some of these alleged "jackalopes" were infected by some sort of virus.

The Whimiscally Mechanical World of Steampunk Costumes

steam_punk1000

To many, the word “steampunk” has an ambiguous connotations since to describe what it means, you have to go into detail. But if you kind of know what it entails. Well, to put it this way, it’s a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic design inspired by 19th century steam powered machinery. Works associated with this subgenre are often associated with alternative history particularly Victorian Britain or the Wild West or in a post apocalyptic future during which steam power has maintained mainstream usage, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. Though it can be considered Neo-Victorian, steampunk most recognizeably features anachronistic or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might’ve envisioned them. And it’s likewise rooted in the era’s perspectives on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art. Technology might even include fictional machines like you’d find in Jules Verne or H.G. Wells. Other technological examples contain alternative-history style presentations like lighter-than-air airships as well as analog or digital mechanical computers. While the term was coined in the 1980s, there are steampunk works of fiction created as far back as the 1950s and 1960s. Many science fiction works in the 19th century could fall under this as well. Nevertheless, common steampunk works usually take place after the American Civil War to the turn of the century. Still, it’s a kind of genre that has a lot of fans that it’s among a subculture that has a presence at conventions and Renaissance Festivals where you’ll see people in such steampunk attire. And here I’ll show some of these costumes to you.

 

  1. While it’s rude to open your umbrella indoors, they didn’t say anything about parasols.
I should note that most Steampunk costumes aren't period accurate, especially women's outfits. While you see some women wear a dress like this, in the 19th century, this would've been viewed as obscene at best.

2. While wearing a dress, always make sure your corset is made of leather.

I tend to see a lot of leather corsets here as well which Victorian women didn't wear over their dress. However, I can understand this since wearing a corset in the 19th century was not comfortable.

3. In Steampunk, a lady always has to have a utility belt and goggles.

Sometimes you'll see women in Steampunk garb wearing pants, too. Also, short sleeves. In the 19th century, these were fashion no-nos. Though some women did try to defy these rules by wearing bloomers.

4. I hear a metal corset is both stylish and is great for protection.

I do think this outfit is very pretty. However, I wonder how comfortable it is. Probably not suffocating as its 19th century equivalent.

5. I’m very confident that this woman can surely fix her man.

Mostly because she has a tool box with her and her boyfriend looks like Iron Man's grandpa. I'm sure there's plenty that could go wrong with him, mechanically speaking.

6. Well, she seems to have had a lot of work done.

As far as her outfit is concerned that is. Then again, she tends to resemble a 19th century Seven of Nine as a biker chick.

7. I guess this is Her Royal Majesty the Queen of Hearts.

If it's the one from Alice and Wonderland, I'd get the hell out and dodge. Because there's some kind of bloodlust about that woman since she's constantly ordering beheadings.

8. Sometimes it helps to have the right curls and a shiny dress.

Still, this dress wouldn't pass a traditional Victorian dress code. Too much leg above the ankles. Might've even been mistaken for swimwear.

9. In Victorian times, it was proper for women to dress in a hoop skirt.

However, in Steampunk, the hoop skirt isn't very wide and isn't always covered. Thus, at some point in the 19th century, she would've been seen as a whore. No offense.

10. An antique pistol can always complete a steampunk look.

But it's probably obsolete as a weapon since it takes about a minute to reload once fired. Repeating ammo was a mid 19th century invention.

11. As far as belts go, feel free to accessorize.

Guess she's never heard of a purse or fanny pack. Then again, the latter term has a very different meaning in Britain which I can't even divulge.

12. An eyepatch can always make you look smashing for any occasion.

I guess she's wearing this to look trendy. Still, it's a classic steampunk look with garters, top hat, and leather jacket.

13. Striped tights are all this outfit needs.

Seems like this is a rather budget friendly outfit. Doesn't seem to take much of an effort.

14. Feathers always look great around the collar.

15. A steampunk gentleman always has to sport a pair of mutton chops.

Yes, the Victorian Era was a good time for men's facial hair. Walrus whiskers and mutton chops were all the rage.

16. When out, always keep your guns and dagger at your disposal.

Seems like she's dressed if My Fair Lady took place during a zombie apocalypse. Like the goggles on her hat.

17. Sometimes it helps to have a pistol in handy.

But whether it can fire multiple rounds is the question. Still, I do like her outfit even though I don't like guns.

18. When in doubt, go for a big barreled revolver.

Man, that's a huge revolver.Like her peacock blue dress. And her peacock hat.

19. There as never an excuse to show up less than well-dressed.

Because if you have to kill zombies it wouldn't be polite to put just anything on. A man has to look presentable.

20. A top hat can always use a few feathers now and then.

I guess those are from turkeys. Wonder if she shot any with that revolver. Probably not because it's a mere prop.

21. Nothing makes you look like a magician like wearing a red cloak and top hat.

Well, a red cloak and top hat sure look smashing on anyone. And I'm sure it looks pretty on her, too.

22. From the North Pole, I bring you Santa and Mrs. Claus from the 19th century.

Then again, a steampunk North Pole kind of makes sense, considering what Saint Nick has for his workload. Oddly Mrs. Claus isn't wearing red and green.

23. The feather in your hat always has to match your dress on a good day.

Now I really like this dress. Love the peacock blue jacket with lace and the matching skirt.

24. Pink hair always stands out when wearing a black dress.

35. Why have a jet pack when a propeller will do just as well?

I don't think it will help him fly. But you have to like him in a bowler hat and a ZZTop beard.

36. This Snow White comes with her own big stick.

I guess it's for getting all the woodland creatures to help her clean up. Oh, wait, she does it with her singing. Why did Disney lie to us about that?

48. A lady always has as a gun in handy just in case.

Out of all the women's costumes on this post, this one actually comes close to what a Victorian lady would actually dress like. Well, from the 1870s to 1880s anyway since it contains a bustle.

49. This woman tends to prefer it under water.

Well, this is a steampunk diving outfit for women. As you see, it's very impractical since it's a combination of a old timey diving suit and a Victorian swimsuit.

Star Trek Treats from the Mess Hall

catwalk_01

While there’s not a lot of craft projects being made in Star Trek, there is a lot of talk pertaining to food. After all, Starfleet officers always need to eat somehow. And most of the time, a ship always has to have a mess hall unless you’re on Deep Space Nine. There, you have Quark’s Bar and Casino which is like Rick’s Cafe Americain in space. That or Mos Eisley Spaceport. Not to mention, there’s probably other places as well with some officers cooking their own food such as Commander Sisko who wouldn’t dare replicate his ingredients. Though spaceships on Star Trek tend to have some food, many would be lost if it weren’t for replication technology. Mess halls also have to account for resident aliens on the ship as well since they might prefer their food prepared differently than what humans are used to. For instance, while Captain Picard might prefer a lobster that’s already been in a pot, Worf would probably want to eat his while it’s still alive. And he might strongly prefer one from his home planet which might seem more menacing than its earth counterpart. This is where replication technology also comes in hand as well. Still, don’t ask me how it works. Nevertheless, outside the Star Trek universe, you have plenty of Trekkies who also have Trek themed parties with Trek themed treats. And this is where I come in. So for your reading pleasure, I give you Star Trek treats from the final frontier.

 

  1. Fans of the original series would enjoy these Star Trek cookies.
And it seems to consist of all the main characters. So adorable you'd just want to eat them up.

This is especially if your name is Robert Picardo who played the guy. Interestingly enough, the guy initially auditioned for Neelix and add libbed during his audition for the Doctor. However, the Doctor on the show ended up becoming much more popular.

15. At Star Trek parties, it’s not unusual for gingerbread men to be Starfleet security officers.

Because we all know what happens to them on planets in the original series. After all, there's a reason why a lot of them don' come back.

Well, these tend to be more or less inspired by the reboot movies. But at least the cake has Kirk and Spock together.

87. This Enterprise bento will sure make your kid the envy of other Starfleet cadets.

This one also has an Enterprise sandwich as well as stars. But it doesn't seem as thick as the last one I put on this post.

88. Guess this starship wants to blow up the Borg cube.

However, I'm not sure if that ship will have any success. Because under the Borg, resistance is futile.

93. Seems like this cake really reaches for the stars.

Well, it seems to be the Enterprise surrounded by space, the final frontier. Not sure if the Enterprise is edible on this though.

94. When you can’t get an Enterprise cake, a shuttle one would do just as well.

And this seems like a rather nice cake. However, you don't really see the shuttles on the show very often since they tend to beam up a lot in the transporter.

96. A redshirt cupcake is always easy to make.

So easy that they always seem expendable at parties. Of course, I think these might be from Next Generation. But you see what I mean.

Star Trek Craft Projects from Garak’s Clothiers

Garaks_Clothiers

As with any franchise with a large fandom, you have some fans who are perfectly content with buying merchandise from large companies seeking to make a profit. And then you have the devotees who wish to make stuff to show their love in their art. Trekkies are no different. Still, in the Star Trek universe while you don’t really have people making stuff, you have Garak’s Clothiers from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Well, let’s just say Garak is the only guy in the franchise who does something that comes close to doing craft projects. After all, he calls himself a tailor by trade and is sees doing some alterations. However, he also does some work on the side and since he’s a Cardassian and friends with Dr. Bashir, you can’t really tell what side he’s on. After all, he did tell Dr. Bashir that he wanted him to come to see him for a new suit at a specified time so he could hear him conversing with two really scary Klingon women. Nevertheless, you have plenty of Trekkies who make craft projects that you might see on Etsy or Pinterest at one time or another. Some of these could be irresistibly adorable. Others, well, might make you wonder what were they thinking. So for your galactic reading pleasure, I give you a treasure trove of Star Trek craft projects.

 

  1. Show your love for Star Trek with this stained glass window.
Well, this sure makes you want to set your phasers to stunning. Because it sure is.

3. Is Spock had a sampler in his cabin, it would say “Live Long and Prosper.”

However, this one includes characters from the original show and The Next Generation. But this is kind of cute.

4. Start your day logically by getting a cup a joe from your very own Spock mug.

Not sure if Spock drinks coffee. But I think this is logically clever if you get my drift. Fascinating.

5. Now you can cuddle up with your very own amigurumi Kirk and Spock.

Can't tell which one is cuter. But these are both so adorable as their friendship on the show.

6. According to what this sampler says, “Adopt a Tribble.”

Then again, it's probably not good advice. Because tribbles have voracious appetites and multiply like crazy.

7. Of course, couldn’t do a craft post without a wooden Enterprise.

Sure it's only a model. But it's certainly well varnished that you wonder whether the ship has a wood shop.

8. Nothing makes a Trekkie room better than this themed dresser.

Has drawers of 5 different colors. Probably made by some Trekkie with too much time on their hands. But that's just my theory.

11. For Vulcan ears, it doesn’t hurt to have them crocheted.

12. Raise a toast on the Enterprise with these Starfleet wine glasses.

I guess these are from the Next Generation so I can't joke about Red Shirts. Still, they're wonderfully painted that Guinan will be pleased.

16. In case you forget, this sampler provides a guide for Starfleet uniforms in the original series.

Remember that gold = command, blue = science, and red = doomed unless you're Scotty or Uhura. Well, at least when they beam down to the planet.

18. In colder weather, a crocheted Spock hat is a logical choice.

19. A Star Trek mobile with rainbow Enterprise ships always make a great ceiling decoration.

21. Sometimes it helps to carry your things in your very own tricorder.

You know the futuristic technology you see Spock with that's now horribly outdated. Yeah, kids have calculators more sophisticated than that. Still, this is meant to be a replica purse.

22. Boldly go where no man has gone before with this crocheted Enterprise.

23. Of course, we should always pay respect to the dearly departed Starfleet security officers.

Here lies a Red Shirt known only to God. Because if we knew who he was, he wouldn't have been killed on that planet in the first place.

24. No Starfleet crew member should ever be without their own mug.

25. As we all know, sometimes Wesley Crusher really needs to shut up.

30. Any character from Star Trek: Next Generation can be quite cuddly as an amigurumi.

Then again, TNG isn't the best out of the Star Trek shows. since it gives screentime to some of its least likable characters. But at least this set includes Guinan and Q.

31. Remember, Trekkies, you can never have enough tribble pillows on your couch.

Tribbles must be the easiest Star Trek creatures to make since they're just little puff balls. However, these cuties caused a lot of trouble on the Enterprise in one episode.

32. Looks like these ceramic cows are boldly going where no bull has gone before.

38. Protect yourself from hot metals in the kitchen with these crocheted Starfleet pot holders.

Come in 3 different colors. However, you'll probably use the red one the most since it's the color of security. Or maybe the least because the color also means expendable.

46. When you’re sewing, it helps that you have a Red Shirt pin cushion that’ll keep your pins and needles secure.

Also doubles as a voodoo doll if you want. For obvious reasons. Yeah, the original show had a lot of red shirt security officers die on the planets for some reason.

Includes characters from TNG and the original series. And yes, they're all equally adorable.

86. No Trekkie home could be complete without a tribble rug.

Given that it's a tribble rug, this is probably easy to make. But at least the tribbles in your home won't multiply like crazy.

87. A duct tape Starfleet wallet will always keep your cash secure.

Just make sure it doesn't fall into a Ferengi's hands. Since Ferengi are quite greedy and shouldn't be trusted with money.

88. Keep your neck warm with this fleece Starfleet scarf.

I'm sure such a scarf like this will keep you logically warm. Well, at least at the neck anyway.

I’m sure such a scarf like this will keep you logically warm. Well, at least at the neck anyway.

89. A pillow like this is guaranteed to help you live long and prosper.

After all, it contains the Vulcan salute on it. So I'm sure it'll give you comfort in some way.

90. As Captain Picard would say while baking cookies, “Bake it so.”

I have to admit, that's pretty clever to put on a Star Trek oven mitt. However, I'm not sure if Captain Picard bakes in his spare time.

91. When it comes to bead work, this Captain Picard portrait takes the cake.

Now that also looks quite like him. Didn't know you can master something like this with beads. Amazing.

92. For those who need solace, these Star Trek prayer candles are just what you need.

Consists of Kirk, Spock, and Sulu. Made by some company on Etsy. Still, these are quite funny.

93. This wooden Starfleet box is sure to keep your belongings safe and secure.

Well, it's probably more for decoration. But it's sure to go well with the red uniform.

Well, it’s probably more for decoration. But it’s sure to go well with the red uniform.

94. No Trekkie girl’s wardrobe could be complete without a Starfleet insignia skirt.

Sure it might not go with any Starfleet uniform. But I'm positive those at the Trekkie convention would love it.

95. For Trekkies, home is always the Bridge.

Because on the Enterprise, most of the action happens there. Still, this is pretty cool.

96. A Spock pendant necklace is always a logical jewelry choice.

Helps that the Spock on this is painted. Also like the frame and chain.

97. No female officer in Starfleet is well dressed without her Starfleet command earrings.

Comes in 2 variations. Available on Etsy. Nevertheless, so pretty.

98. It’s only logical that you should have a Spock plate in a china closet.

Well, for display anyway. Not sure about him being surrounded by flowers.

99. Keep dry on the Enterprise with your very own Federation uniform towel.

Available in 3 different colors with the insignia embroidered. Will go well in an Trekkie bathroom.

100. Finally, while Kirk and Picard might drink different things, they both keep their beverages in a Federation mug.

Not sure if they have these any Starfleet mess hall. But you kind of think they should.

Starfleet Approved Star Trek Merchandise from the Final Frontier

TOS_2x13_TheTroubleWithTribbles0375-Trekpulse

Like any major franchise that attracts a wide range of popularity, Star Trek has always come with a line of merchandise. After all, Trekkies do consist of a viable market. And yes, there are plenty of Star Trek stuff you can imagine. Like space, Star Trek’s product range is infinite. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should buy a tribble any time soon. Because it’s a reason why certain pets are no longer allowed on the Enterprise. Sure Uhura may be a smart girl, but she shouldn’t have bought a tribble from a mysterious vender. Because tribbles breed like rabbits and eat like crazy. However, they don’t like Klingons. Nevertheless, these cute little parasites certainly help make a great Star Trek episode that’s among the most love. Still, outside the Star Trek universe, you’ll find plenty of ridiculous Star Trek gear in this side of the galaxy. And that’s where I bring you. So for your reading pleasure in the Alpha Quadrant, I give you some of the great products from the final frontier. Starfleet approved, I must say.

 

  1. For added buzz, try some Romulan Ale.
However, since it's an energy drink, it's about as bad for you in this universe as in Star Trek. It's even more harmful in Star Trek that it's been banned from the Federation of Planets.

2. Now you can bake like Spock with your very own Vulcan sign oven mitt.

Of course, if you bake some treats with this mitt, you're certain not to live long and prosper. Still, you can't help but like this.

3. If you want to eat like the O’Briens you might prefer this Star Trek sushi action set.

Here the Enterprise serves as a sushi sauce dish. Not sure about the chopsticks though. But I think they're plastic.

4. For finer diner, perhaps a bottle of Chateau Picard might suit you quite nicely.

This vintage is from a vineyard from 2267. Which is about over 200 years into the future.

5. For the Trekkie cat, resistance to a scratching post like this is futile.

Not sure if there are any feline fans of Star Trek. But this does have a scratch post of the Enterprise and a Klingon ship.

6. When Worf needs to open an envelope, he uses a Bat’leth opener.

Wait a minute, wouldn't they use e-mail or something more sophisticated in the future? I thought so.

7. As far as bath toys are concerned, this Spock rubber duckie is a logical choice.

Yes, I know it's not logical to depict Spock as a cute bath toy. But hey, this is kind of adorable.

8. Learn how to make your own Star Trek costumes with this book.

The costumes in my last post seem more convincing than this. Besides, these look pretty lame compared to what you'd see at a Trekkie convention.

9. Put your night to a logical start by wearing a Spock thong.

Really? A Spock thong? Seriously, that's one of the most illogical things you can put Spock's face on. A Kirk thong would make more sense.

10. Be the big guy on the bridge with your very own Captain Kirk chair.

It's a life size replica of Kirk's chair. So I guess this means it must be very expensive. Probably not worth it.

11. Nothing makes a more appropriate mess hall utensil than a Star Trek spork.

Really, a Star Trek spork? This is a highly illogical dining utensil, especially if it doesn't come in a set.

12. If you love the music from Star Trek, take a moment to listen to Leonard Nimoy’s album, Mr. Spock’s Music from Outer Space.

On second thought, to listen to his album you have to be out of your Vulcan mind. Even more so if you think Nimoy's music video on the Hobbit was anything to be taken seriously.

On second thought, to listen to his album you have to be out of your Vulcan mind. Even more so if you think Nimoy’s music video on the Hobbit was anything to be taken seriously. Yes, it’s that bad.

13. If you like TNG, celebrate the season with a commemorative ornament on your tree of Captain Picard’s assimilation.

Because nothing depicts the joy of Christmas like a beloved Star Trek captain being kidnapped and changed into a mindless cyborg killing machine. Seriously, Hallmark, this is really fucked up.

14. Pon Farr cologne is the perfect fragrance to set you in the mood when the time is right.

Which for Vulcans is every 7 years when they mate. However, you really don't want to be anywhere near Vulcans when they're horny.

Which for Vulcans is every 7 years when they mate. However, you really don’t want to be anywhere near Vulcans when they’re horny. Makes me wonder when Spock and Uhura’s first time will be like in the new movies. Well, when Spock’s going through Pon Farr, anyway.

15. For galactic marshmallow fun, you can’t go wrong with a Star Trek marshmallow dispenser.

What the hell? Seriously, why would anyone have a marshmallow dispenser. That's ridiculous. Let alone one as a Star Trek tie-in product.

16. Grace your tree this Christmas with an ornament of Spock’s farewell to Kirk from Wrath of Khan.

Because nothing brings out the joy of Christmas seeing Kirk and Spock saying goodbye before Spock sacrifices his life for the crew. Sure he gets better, but, Hallmark, is this an appropriate Christmas ornament? Really?

17. In the Federation of Planets, latinum is a general currency.

However, this is probably not real latinum and bound to leave Quark quite angry and disappointed. And this is a guy who takes his money seriously.

However, this is probably not real latinum and bound to leave Quark quite angry and disappointed. And this is a guy who takes his money seriously.

18. Cook some old Star Trek favorites with your very own Star Trek cookbook.

Not sure about having Neelix on the cover though his bad food has more to do with lack of ingredients than anything. Still, some recipes might make you feel like Alan Rickman in Galaxy Quest when he sarcastically remarks, "Just like Mummy used to make."

19. When you think tomorrow will never come, try Red Shirt cologne today.

So if you're a Starfleet security officer assigned planet duty, try Red Shirt cologne. Because chances are, you're coming back.

20. Nothing graces your china cabinet like a Star Trek Faberge egg.

Yes, this exists. Not sure what makes Star Trek appropriate for a Faberge egg. But I'm sure some rich Trekkie would buy it.

21. Like Star Trek: TNG? Then check out these action figures of your favorite characters when they’re seniors.

The Farmer Captain Picard is especially hilarious because Sir Patrick Stewart is 75 and looks very much the same as he did then. Also, why do they have Data even age?

22. For Andorian fans, here’s an action figure for you.

From The Robot's Voice: "The host of the 23rd century version of What Not to Wear, the Andorian can help you prep for your date with Captain Kirk or give you advice on how to handle a pissy Vulcan who is experiencing Ponn Farr. Unless he (she?) gets suffocated by some sort of pink fabric monster first. Or could all that pink on the figure just be inflammation of some kind? Better break out the space penicillin to be sure."

first. Or could all that pink on the figure just be inflammation of some kind? Better break out the space penicillin to be sure.”

23. Nothing looks better on a formal suit than a pair of cufflinks depicting a logo for the United Federation of Planets.

Let me be frank, I don't think you'd be taken seriously with cufflinks like these unless you're at a Star Trek convention. Seriously, why?

Let me be frank, I don’t think you’d be taken seriously with cufflinks like these unless you’re at a Star Trek convention. Seriously, why?

24. Smoking Trekkies out there might like a cigarette case depicting the first ever Vulcan breast meld.

This has to be photoshopped. Otherwise, bad Spock. You're a really dirty Vulcan man, Spock. I thought you were better than that.

25. Bake a pie out of this world with this Star Trek dish.

Instead of "Beam me up, Scotty," it says, "Eat me up, Scotty." Then again, I'm sure Scotty has an appetite for pastries and whiskey.

Instead of “Beam me up, Scotty,” it says, “Eat me up, Scotty.” Then again, I’m sure Scotty has an appetite for pastries and whiskey.

26. To impress the Trekkie in your life, these nipple pasties will sure please.

Well, I guess I know what the strippers are wearing at a Trekkie convention. Still, these are ridiculous.

Well, I guess I know what the strippers are wearing at a Trekkie convention. Still, these are ridiculous.

27.  No pizza night in the Alpha Quadrant is complete without a pizza cutter of the Enterprise.

Then again, the Enterprise does resemble a pizza cutter. Still, not sure what the pizzas on the ship would look like. Maybe I don't want to know.

28. For a planetary golfer, this set will sure help their game.

Of course, you'll never see the red putter and golf balls again after use. Still, I think this is crazy. But I'm not a fan of golf.

Of course, you’ll never see the red putter and golf balls again after use. Still, I think this is crazy. But I’m not a fan of golf.

29. For Christmas, celebrate the spirit of the season with a commemorative Hallmark ornament of Kirk and Spock’s fight on Vulcan on what should’ve been his wedding.

Because nothing brings out the spirit of Christmas than your fiancee having you fight your best friend so she won't have to marry you. Of course, it would've been avoided if Spock just dumped her so she could be with the guy she wants.

30. Fans of “Menagerie” might enjoy this Captain Pike ornament on their Christmas tree.

Because nothing says Christmas like seeing a a guy in a wheelchair after he's been paralyzed and badly injured from an explosion. I don't know why the people at Hallmark thought this was a great idea.

31. If you like “The Man Trap,” then you’ll probably enjoy a Hallmark ornament of Kirk with the creature from that episode.

For nothing says Christmas like being attacked by a creature that seems to resemble a zombie Abominable Snowman. They're just hugging each other I promise (sarcasm).

For nothing says Christmas like being attacked by a creature that seems to resemble a zombie Abominable Snowman. They’re just hugging each other I promise (sarcasm).

32. Celebrate your galactic Christmas with this Hallmark ornament commemorating Kirk’s epic fight with Gorn.

For nothing says, "Peace on Earth" than being trapped on a planet and forced to fight a humanoid Godzilla like alien to the death against your will in a trial by combat. To be fair, this is a reason why "Arena" turns out to be an unintentionally funny episode.

33. Shirtless Kirk cologne is bound to make you feel like a man who’s just escaped with his life on a hostile planet.

For the male Starfleet captain who's beamed in the nick of time when in an extremely dangerous situation that he only escapes after his shirt's been ripped off his back. Dead red shirt security officers not included.

34. For amusement, it’s said that there’s no better board game for warriors than Klingon Monopoly.

Uh, I'm not sure you'd want to see Klingons playing Monopoly. I guess the winner is the one who's left standing or is still alive.

Uh, I’m not sure you’d want to see Klingons playing Monopoly. I guess the winner is the one who’s left standing or is still alive.

35.  There’s no better beer for a Klingon warrior’s thirst after a battle than War Nog.

And let's hope that Klingons have a very high tolerance for alcohol. Because you really don't want to be near a bunch of Klingons if they're drunk. Or angry. Or horny. Or partying.

36. Plan your trip to the final frontier with your very own Star Trek casket or urn.

Caskets come in 3 variations such as Klingon, Delta Quadrant, and United Federation of Planets. Still, I'm sure it's going to cost much more than a normal casket would.

37. If you prefer a more Trekkie worthy sendoff, this photon torpedo coffin is just for you.

This was inspired by Spock's coffin that was launched in space after he died in Wrath of Khan. Still, I'm not sure if even a die hard Trekkie would buy this or afford it.

38. Star Trek Fun Pix Eggo waffles are part of this galactic breakfast.

Eggo issued these in 2009 when the first reboot Star Trek came out. Of course, let go of Spock's Eggos or you'll find yourself on the receiving end of a Vulcan nerve pinch.

39. Any Star Trek fan is bound to want a limited edition of Star Trek Into Darkness Blue-Ray DVD with piece of a meteorite from the Nantan meteor shower in 1516.

From What Culture: "Now why wouldn't you take a 497-year old meteorite and carve it into a Star Trek symbol, and then glue it onto a DVD case for a one-off edition of Star Trek Into Darkness on Blu-Ray? Called the Meteorite edition, with a limited edition of one, this was given away as a prize win for Total Film magazine earlier in the year. It is bonkers. Next we'll have dinosaur bones carved into toothpicks to promote Colgate toothpaste. The meteorite itself fell in 1516 AD in the Guangxi-Zhaung province of China from the Nantan meteorite shower. It has to be the most ridiculous limited edition bonus item I've ever seen with a home media release. At least thankfully they didn't do a run of a thousand of these."

40. As we all know Picard always loves his Earl Grey tea. Hot.

Nevertheless, they have a special Star Trek line for that. However, you can buy Earl Grey basically anywhere.

41. Find your own buried treasure with your very own Star Trek metal detector.

From The Robot's Voice: "Because being seen on the beach with a metal detector wasn?t cool enough, you really need to add the Star Trek logo to the equation. Seriously, if you like Trek, you’re going to be in reasonable danger of having sand kicked in your face by some tan, toned bastard anyways during any beach trip anyways. Carrying a Star Trek metal detector with you is like carrying a sign saying “please punch me and never stop.” If this was a potential beating detector, it would never stop bleeping."

42. Entertain your Trekkie guests at dinner with this Star Trek: TNG murder mystery kit.

From The Robot's Voice: "Combining the nerdy pursuit of Star Trek LARPing with the arguably less nerdy pursuit of a murder mystery game isn?t exactly on the chocolate/peanut butter scale. Worse, since the game’s makers clearly thought all Trek fans had the emotional stability of a developmentally challenged child, it’s not even a “murder” mystery?some stupid orb from some stupid planet gets stolen, and players have to figure who did that instead. The most shameful part is the booklet (I admit I bought one)?it suggests that the character playing Worf attempt to do their own makeup."

43. Explore the final frontier with your very own Star Trek Astro helmet.

This looks more appropriate for a bug costume.How this came to exist is one of those great unsolved mysteries.

44. Nothing graces your Christmas tree more than a Borg cube ornament.

For nothing shows the spirit of Christmas like a space craft that's known to turn people and aliens into mindless, killing cyborgs. Resistance is futile.

45. Those who liked Star Trek: Voyager might enjoy these figures of Species 8472 with Ensign Harry Kim.

From The Robot's Voice: "When not ripping off plots and supporting characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Voyager loved patting itself on the back for everything from the half-robot broad in the spandex to the thrills that came from Tom and B’Ellana’s domestic problems. This self-aggrandizing reached its apex in 1997 when the series presented Trek’s first-ever CGI villain, Species 8472. Hopes were high that the creatures would become as beloved as the Borg–who were quickly brought in as the alien race’s enemies in yet another shameless grab for ratings when no one cared about the new foe. These days, Species 8472 is a reminder of the glut of poor CGI that dominated late-1990s sci-fi. Released in a two-pack with a Harry Kim that is apparently covered in shit, the figure looks more realistic than the actual creature did. Not that that justifies its existence or anything."

46. Those who like Spock might enjoy their very own Spock helmet.

From The Robot's Voice: "After Spock lost his brain (in the single greatest Trek episode ever written), Captain Kirk made him wear this Brain Protector Helmet which had a siren in case anyone tried to steal it. Wait, that’s not right. This is actually just a phenomenally stupid toy that some cheap-ass toymaker decided to put Spock’s name on, and another easy way to make certain you get beaten up at school. However, we?d pay 20 bucks to see Leonard Nimoy put one on." I can't think of any logical reason why this exists. Someone must be out of their Vulcan mind.

47. Put your earthly remains in your very own Starfleet urn.

Guess these are for the die hard Trek fans who can't afford to have their ashes launched into space. Still, this is ridiculous.

48. For your galactic game room, you can’t go wrong with this Star Trek Into Darkness pool table.

Said to have LED lights. However, I'm not sure why anyone would want to buy this. And it's probably as expensive as hell.

49. Those who want to go where no turtle has gone before would certainly enjoy a set of Star Trek Ninja Turtles.

I know I had these on another post from last year. But still, Star Trek Ninja Turtles seem as idiotic as they sound. Seriously, why?

50. For those who liked, “Mirror, Mirror,” this commemorative ornament of Evil Spock using mind meld on Dr. McCoy is a must have.

For nothing makes Christmas more special than using a mind meld on your friend as a form of torture in an alternate universe. Yeah, I don't know what Hallmark was thinking either.

51. Make it so with the lady Trekkie in your life with this Enterprise engagement ring.

On second thought, you're probably better off to engage with a standard ring. Just to be on the safe side.

52. No Christmas in the Alpha Quadrant could ever be without Kirk and Spock nutcrackers.

Yes, these are Kirk and Spock nutcrackers. But their existence tends to defy logic other than the incentive to make money that is.

53. Answer your own calls like a Trekkie with your very own Enterprise phone.

Yes, it looks cool. However, it looks like you could injure your arm picking up this thing. Wonder how you'd explain that.

Yes, it looks cool. However, it looks like you could injure your arm picking up this thing. Wonder how you’d explain that.

54. Please the Trekkie in your life with a set of panties from The Next Generation.

Well, at least in TNG, red doesn't mean expendable. Still, I know what you're thinking. These are ridiculous.

Well, at least in TNG, red doesn’t mean expendable. Still, I know what you’re thinking. These are ridiculous.

55. If you liked Riker from The Next Generation, then you’ll certainly like this Hallmark Christmas ornament of him.

Don't know about you but this looks as if Riker is seems like he's squatting down and about to take a shit. Yeah, I know it's hilarious.

Now hearing the Star Trek theme from you will make it known to other drivers that someone cut you in traffic. Or that you're a jerk who likes to show off your geekyness to the world.

57. Turn the lights down with this Star Trek Voice Activated Light Switch & Dimmer.

For those who like to imitate Picard's commands as well as are too lazy to use a light switch. Available at Klear Gear.

58. Trekkies who like Peanuts will certainly adore a figurine of Woodstock Spock.

While he's logical to a fault, he only utters in lines. However, I'm sure Snoopy Kirk is bound to hump on any hot alien chick that moves.

59. Nothing makes a Trek Christmas like a Captain’s yule log.

I think it comes in a gift set. Still, looks like a chocolate roll covered in Easter M&Ms.

60. Galactic rail enthusiasts would love to see Trek meat the tracks with this Star Trek train set.

By the way, this isn't a toy. It's a collectible. Yeah, I don't know what connection Star Trek has to trains either. A commemorative Harry Potter train set would make more sense.

61. Tiberius cologne is sure to make you smell like a Starfleet captain boldly going where no man has gone before with the ladies.

As we know of Captain Kirk's reputation with the ladies. Side effects might include contracting alien STDs or unplanned pregnancy, especially for men.

62. Sulu cologne is perfect for the man who does everything.

Of course, this doesn't mean he's going to get as much tail as Kirk on the Enterprise. But at least he'll have some skill with a sword.

63. Keep your money secure in the Alpha Quadrant with your very own Ferengi Savings bank.

However, if you're traveling through space, remember to never put your money in a Ferengi bank. Seriously, these guys are known for being greedy and you won't get your money back.

64. Fans of Star Trek: Voyager are bound to enjoy this mutated Tom Paris action figure.

From The Robot's Voice: "Remember how Star Trek: Voyager‘s “Threshold” was recently voted by Topless Robot readers to be the stupidest sci-fi TV episode? Well, that televised groin punch also gave us this figure of Tom Paris. It’s unlikely that any Voyager fan was clamoring for a figure of a mutated version of the show’s most milquetoast character dressed in nursing scrubs, but they got it anyway. Devotees of the episode’s bullshit fish creatures will be filled with joy to learn that this toy also came with three of the baffling writer’s constructs as accessories."

65. Descend to the planet with this parachuting Spock action figure.

From The Robot's Voice: "For those days when a Vulcan wants to jump from the Enterprise through a planet’s atmosphere, most certainly burning himself to a crisp, assuming the vacuum of space doesn’t make him freeze and implode first. Drugstore toy maker Ahi extended this line of parachuting figures to characters from Planet of the Apes too, which is equally baffling. Although if the PotA apes had parachute technology, they’d be even more deadly, that’s for sure."

66. Do your own galactic calculations with your very own Trekulator.

From The Robot's Voice: "It?s a calculator with a picture of Captain Kirk on it. Tarting up something that is even mildly educational is unforgivable, and even a face as pretty as Bill Shatner’s can?t take away that pain."

67. Those who remember the first Star Trek movie might not know that it had a putty tie-in.

From The Robot's Voice: "Don’t remember this from the movie? You obviously must have dozed off during the scene where Scotty saved the day by copying this week?s Beetle Bailey."

68. From Star Trek: Generations comes your very own Worf action figure.

From The Robot's Voice: "Based on Star Trek: Generations’ holodeck scene in which Worf is promoted to Lieutenant Commander, this figure has everyone’s favorite ornery Klingon dressed up in 19th century nautical attire–which is really stupid since there’s clearly no honor in looking like a jackass."

69. Like Geordi LaForge? Well, enjoy this Cadet LaForge action figure with his very own CD-ROM.

From The Robot's Voice: "Packaged with a CD-ROM–which ran on Windows 95 no less!–Playmates’ Starfleet Academy line of figures included what was intended to be young versions of Picard, Riker, Geordi and Worf. Each varies in degrees of dreadfulness, but La Forge tops all of them. The sick minds of Playmates’ developing staff decided that he would strut around campus in a silver codpiece. It was probably one that he engineered to do all sorts of kinky stuff to that Brahms girl in his Temporal Causality 101 class. Creepy. No wonder dude couldn’t ever get laid."

70. Commemorate your love for Star Trek with this set of collectible spoons.

Each character has his or her own spoon except Chekov and Sulu. For they have to share. I don't have any logical explanation for this either.

71. For a space time summer snack, try Star Trek freezecicles you can make yourself.

Because nothing says summer fun like freezing and eating fruity versions of your favorite Star Trek characters. Also, the kids look kind of creepy on the packaging.

72. Any young Trekkie always has to have a lunch box of talking Worf.

So carrying your lunch in Worf's head that also talks. Now that's disturbing. Wonder what sadistic bastard came up with that idea.

73. Engage with this quality Star Trek logo engagement ring.

Guys, just because your girlfriend likes Star Trek doesn't mean she wants to get engaged with a Star Trek ring. Better go with a standard one from a jewelry store.

Use it to make your own galactic salad. A must have for any cook in the ships mess hall.

75. Tell Scotty to beam you up with this USB communicator replica.

Keep in mind the original series was made in the 1960s. Still, even by 21st century standards it looks hopelessly outdated.

76. Test samples on your planet with your very own tricorder play set.

Yes, it kind of looks like something you'd find in a 60s Bond film. But don't give this to a Starfleet security officer. That's for sure.

77. Now you can snuggle with your very own soft poseable Spock.

I don't know about you. But to me, Spock doesn't strike me as a cuddly guy. So this toy doesn't make any logical sense.

78. Store your alcoholic beverages in your very own Spock wine decanter.

Uh, did these people who made this get the idea that Vulcans don't drink? Because it's pretty apparent in the show.

79. Dine like a Starfleet captain with this TNG dinner set.

I'm sure such a set will never be used except for display in a china closet. Knowing how some nerds tend to be collectors. Still, this is ridiculous.

80. An Enterprise coffee table will sure make a fine addition to any living room.

Not sure if it's bought or made by someone with too much time on their hands. Either way, it's sure to become a fine conversation piece.

81. If you like Star Trek, then decorate your windows with some Star Trek instant stained glass.

Now that just makes no logical sense. How is instant stained glass supposed to work? Or are these better known as stickies?

82. Andorian fans would surely love to wear their own Andorian hat to keep warm.

From Games Radar: "Set Phasers to fun? Based on Thy’lek Shran from the series Star Trek: Enterprise, this headwear homage will be greeted with nods of recognition by only the most stringent of Trekkies – everyone else will think you’ve just been separated from the world’s weirdest stag do. Hopefully the fleece lining can still keep you warm and cosy when all of your friends refuse to stand anywhere near you.."

83. Fans of Captain Picard would surely crave for their own Picard quote bottle necklace.

From Games Radar: "Wearing a bottle containing a hand-sculpted Starfleet logo and sparkly star confetti might seem like a particularly special type of futility, but the only way to make it worse? Add an obscure Picard quote that is actually incorrect. Here you get the words “What we leave behind is as important as how we've lived" but Jean-Luc’s actual words (spoken in Star Trek Generations) are “What we leave behind is NOT as important as how we've lived" thus the point of his bald-headed wisdom has been squarely missed. Either way, you should definitely just leave this behind."

84. This James T. Kirk leadlight style painting will sure go great in any home.

From Games Radar: "Of all the thousands of spectacular Star Trek fan portraits that can be found for sale on the internet, this might be the least flattering and the most hideous. Even the artist himself, in listing the item, admits “this thing creeps me out”. Yes, that’s because it looks like you pieced it together from William Shatner’s actual skin."

85. Now Klingons can enjoy fine quality literature with their own translation of Hamlet.

From Games Radar: "This translation of Shakespeare's most notable play (here given the full title of The Tragedy of Khamlet, Son of the Emperor of Qo'noS) was conceived as an experiment to prove right Klingon Chancellor Gorkon who, in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country , stated: “You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon”. He was right. This is an experience like no other."

86. Commemorate “The Trouble with Tribbles” with this commemorative Christmas ornament from Hallmark.

Because nothing says Christmas like being buried up to your chest with adorable puff balls with voracious appetites and a fast rate of reproduction. Still, that was a fantastic episode.

88. Fans of Q are sure to enjoy this Warp Series addition action figure.

Apparently, Q couldn't decide what to wear. So he decided to come as some sort of, I don't know. Anyway, he should just go back and change.

89. This electronic door chime will make you feel you’re on the Enterprise.

From Games Radar: " What's the best function of The Enterprise? Is it its warp speed capabilities? Its transporter room? The replicator that can produce thousands of different dishes on command? No, it's probably the way the doors go swisshh when they open and close. And now you can have that too with this probably-quite-difficult-to-set-up-with-very-little-payoff kit."

90. Grace your living room with this 4oth anniversary teddy bear Kirk figurine from the Hamilton Collection.

Really a bear Kirk? On one hand, it's cute. On the other hand, it's tacky as hell. But I'm sure the Hamilton Collection tried to sell you this in a Sunday newspaper magazine.

91. It’s always happy hour in the universe with these Star Trek bottle openers.

Well, they have 2 of the Enterprise and one of a Klingon ship. Not sure why they don't have one of Deep Space Nine since that's where Quark's bar is.

92. As far as commemorative spoons go, TNG has their own line as well.

From The Robot's Pajamas: "Ah yes, my fine collection of Next Generation spoons. No, no. We don’t use them for soup. They are to look at. They’re spoons AND photos of the Next Generation crew. A perfect match!" And I bet they're not for eating with either.

93. TNG collectible action marbles are bound to provide fun for hours for the kids.

From The Robot's Pajamas: "Kids that love Star Trek are very likely to throw down their video game controllers and PC mouse and charge the stores en masse for plastic marbles! Marbles. Kids can’t get enough of them!"

From The Robot's Pajamas: "Want a Star Trek coin? I don’t know what you’d do with it. It’s just a tiny coin with an image of Picard on it. That would get old fast. Well, at least it only costs $150 new." In other words, it's way overpriced.

95. Fans of the Next Generation will certainly love a framed portrait of their favorite characters with this frame.

From The Robot's Pajamas: "Above is a series of photos of the TNG cast that look like they belong in a high school yearbook. I’m surprised Worf’s background isn’t a bunch of neon lasers. It’s not the most exciting series of images. And they charged $100 for it. That’s just adding insult to injury."

96. Beam to the shower with this transporter shower curtain and bath rug.

However, if you're wearing a red shirt at the time, there's a chance you aren't coming back. Unless you're Scotty since he's a main cast member.

97. Step right out in style with a pair of your own Star Trek sneakers.

I'm sure many of these would be seen as collectibles to display instead of used for their intended purpose. Then again, I could be wrong.

98. Come all aboard on your very own Star Trek Astro train.

Seems like some companies will try to pass almost anything as a Star Trek promotion during the 1970s. Because this train doesn't seem to have anything to do with Star Trek.

However, you'd have to be out of your Vulcan mind to wear them in public. Still, I find these highly illogical to tell you the truth.

Star Trek Costumes Boldly Going Where No Man Has Gone Before

platosstepchildrenhd1117

This is a rather  eventful year for Star Trek since it has two big things going for it. This July marks the release of the new movie Star Trek: Beyond. However, whether Old Spock will make an appearance in the film is a mystery since we recently lost Leonard Nimoy who was mourned by Trekkies everywhere. Nevertheless, as we know, this franchise has produced 6 TV shows and several movies. And it continues to appeal to generations. This September will mark Star Trek’s 50th anniversary.

MV5BMjMxNTA3NTAyM15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNDI1MTA1MDE@._V1_SX640_SY720_

Conceived by the late Gene Roddenberry and first aired in 1966, Star Trek has been a franchise focused on space, the final frontier with missions to explore new worlds, to seek out life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no man has gone before. While the original series only ran on NBC for 3 seasons, it managed to attract an enduring and vocal fanbase that its cultural impact can’t be denied and it’s become a cult phenomenon for decades, especially since it had several movies in the 1970s and 1980s as well as notable spin-off series that were more successful like Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise. In recent years, they’ve even made a reboot of some of the original movies but in a different style so they wouldn’t be sued by the Roddenberry family (well, that’s my theory). Not to mention, it’s also notable for Trekkies and Star Trek conventions.

1da9668a53d20493d6953d1cef2ae467

Since Star Trek is well known for Trekkies to dress up as their favorite characters at these conventions. Of course, you might come across people dressed as Kirk and Spock as well as some Klingons. But you might find some other characters there as well. And as you see, you’ll find many aliens in outlandish costumes from the original series and beyond. So for your reading pleasure, I give you a treasure trove of Star Trek costumes from the final frontier boldly going where no man has gone before.

 

  1. Here we have a lovely Andorian woman from Starfleet.
The Andorians are noted for their blue skin, white hair, and antennae. They also tend to call humans "pink skin."

2. This little guy is a proud member of Starfleet and the Enterprise.

Well, at least that outfit's from The Next Generation. Because if it was a redshirt from the original series, I'd have a problem. Still, so cute.

3. Guess these Starfleet officers are from an alternative timeline.

These are Starfleet Steampunk uniforms. And yes, they look kind of cool if you ask me.

4. From TNG, may I introduce to you to the lovable android and Operations Officer Data.

Sure Data might be an android who admires humanity. But he's such a loveable guy that you can't help but like him. This one's not bad looking, too.

5. Hop aboard the Starfleet Express.

Once again, I give you more Star Trek Steampunk. The guy resembles a train conductor. Like the woman's dress, too.

6. Those who remember “Amok Time” might also recall T’Pring.

T'Pring was Spock's fiancee since childhood who dumped him for another Vulcan man. But not before she had Spock fight with Kirk. This, when Spock was going through his pon farr, which isn't pretty.

7. Where would Deep Space Nine be without its chief science officer Jadzia Dax?

While she seems like a young woman, she's in symbiosis with a wise, long-lived creature called a Dax. Even before she became a host, she was pretty smart.

8. Oh, shit, seems like Kim Cardassian has to be everywhere these days.

I'm not sure if I'd want Kanye West to be with this woman. I hear the Cardassians are known for their brutality. But I think this is hilarious.

9. Against a Borg cube resistance is futile.

The Borg Cube is a spacecraft that's home to the hive like Borg Collective. If your ship comes across one of these, avoid it at all times.

10. We should remember that even Klingons were young once.

Sure this baby may look adorable now. But once they grow up, they can be quite ruthless. But they do exhibit a code of honor.

11. During the Next Generation, no one can run a better Enterprise than Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Along with Kirk, Picard is seen as one of the more iconic Star Trek captains. He may be a consummate Earl Grey drinking gentlemen and diplomat, but he's not a guy you'd want to mess with.

12. As TNG’s chief engineer on the Enterprise, you just have to give a hand to Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge.

Notably played by LeVar Burton, LaForge has his own visor due to being born blind. Is an engineering whiz, nice guy, and Data's best friend.

13. I bet these two are just like Romeo and Juliet.

Meaning that these two fell in love despite that their planet is engulfed in a stupid civil war. From "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield."

14. When it comes to glitz, Ferengi know how to dress.

I think this might be from a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas. It's a place I think Ferengi will feel right at home since they love money.

15. We should remember that while Romulans may look like Vulcans, they are not.

While Vulcans are seen as logical, Romulans are cunning, passionate, and opportunistic. They're also really hated by Klingons.

16. While Klingons are known to be a proud warrior race, there’s always an occasional non-conformist among them.

On your left, you have a rather normal looking Klingon. On your right, you have a Klingon dressed like Elton John in the 1970s.

17. In a parallel universe, Spock is known to sport a trademark goatee.

Yes, that's Evil Spock all right. He's very scary and also not to be messed with. Not sure who the woman's supposed to be.

Yes, that’s Evil Spock all right. He’s very scary and also not to be messed with. Not sure who the woman’s supposed to be.

18. Of course, even Bones McCoy is bound to get some action in “Shore Leave.”

Yes, I know that's Dr. McCoy with two women who are dressed like they're from a Dr. Seuss porn parody. But yes, this was in the original series. Don't ask me how wardrobe came up with those outfits.

She was to officiate on what should've been Spock's wedding. But his fiancee had other ideas.

20. From “The Way to Eden” is Irina Galliulin a Starfleet dropout and onetime girlfriend of Ensign Chekov.

And as space hippie, her costume was possibly made from curtains. Still, "Eden" in this episode is basically uninhabitable.

21. This green girl apparently has a gig as a Las Vegas showgirl.

Okay, that's really clever. I know Kirk might want a piece of her. Like the feathers though.

22. On the Enterprise, you might find space suits like these from the original series.

Interestingly enough, I'm sure this guy's suit was made by the same materials as the original ones were. Seems like an almost perfect replica, too. Screen windows, especially.

23. This orange space suit is said to have a certain hazmat variant.

Well, it's not exactly like the original but close. Still has the haz mat design in mind.

24. Aboard the first Enterprise as resident Vulcan and science officer was none other than T’Pol.

And this is her in her trademark outfit. Still has sexual tension with Archer and Tucker.

25. Staffing on Deep Space Nine as Chief of Security and First Officer are Odo and Major Kira.

As a shapeshifter, Odo is well suited for the job but doesn't know where he comes from. Major Kira is a Bajoran who wants independence for her people.

26. As far as sexy get ups go, Losira’s is interesting.

I know it looks like a mix of harem attire and TRON. But I have no idea what Star Trek's costume designer was on during the 1960s.

27. Those who’ve watched the original series might remember Harry Mudd and his women.

Well, here he is with one of his women. Still, the guy is a con man you shouldn't trust with anything, especially if it pertains to money. Also, his beautiful women, they're on drugs to appear super beautiful.

28. Member of Starfleet or 19th century Trekkie?

And yet, another Steampunk Starfleet uniform. Still, like the sword. Couldn't resist this one.

29. I bring you the command of the Enterprise you all know and love.

I guess these consist of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, and Scotty. And it seems Uhura is holding a tribble.

30. Looks like Captain Kirk likes to have a bunny or two on bridge.

We all know that Kirk has a well established reputation as a perv. This is why casting him as Hugh Hefner with Starfleet Playboy bunnies is so funny. And one is even green.

31. Even Princess Leia can’t help herself to the occasional tribble.

Yes, this is a Star Wars and Star Trek mashup. And yes, Chewie's depicted as a tribble. But it's clever.

32. Occasionally, you might have a chance to see T’Pol in pink.

Yes, she wore an outfit like that, too. But not as often. But that expression is rather typical of her character, especially when Commander Tucker got himself in a little escapade.

33. Second to Picard on the Enterprise is Commander Riker.

Seems to resemble the guy from the show. However, he's not nearly as likable as Picard at any rate.

34. I’m afraid this Starfleet crew member has already been assimilated.

The Borg are a nasty bunch in Star Trek since they turn people into mindless cyborgs. They make Cardassians, Klingons, and Romulans seem friendly.

35. These Andorian women are just hanging out.

I guess those are what the Andorians normally wear. Seems to go well with their complexions.

36. Guess Klingon Gandalf decided to make an appearance.

So let me get this straight. He's a Klingon. Yet, he's also a wizard. Let's just say you shall not pass by him on any day.

37. Fresh from Starfleet Academy, here are some new Guardians of the Galaxy.

And I see that Groot has a red shirt on. Let's hope it doesn't mean anything bad. Then again, he does regenerate somehow.

38. Here we have Captain Jean-Luc Picard meeting up with Commander Benjamin Sisko.

Of course, while under Borg assimilation, Picard killed Sisko's wife Jennifer. Because of this Sisko doesn't really like him much.

39. With Spock, it’s always “Live long and prosper.”

Yes, that's Spock all right. He's one of the most popular characters in the franchise. Leonard Nimoy will sure be missed.

40. Here we have Data sharing a moment with his beloved cat.

His cat's name is Spot and is in TNG for the last 4 seasons. It's also a female and has kittens.

41. On board the Enterprise TNG, we have Counselor Deanna Troi.

She's half-Betazoid with empathetic abilities as well as detect lies and helps give Picard the edge in negotiations (by usually stating the obvious). Usually functions on the show as the damsel in distress and therapist.

42. Of course, Troi also wears a blue dress as well.

Well, that blue dress is lovely. However, as far as the TNG cast is concerned, she's not among the most liked.

43. Joining the Voyager crew is the Doctor and Seven of Nine.

He is a mere hologram physician. And she is a highly attractive woman who's recovering from Borg assimilation. These two are probably the best liked characters of the Voyager series.

44. And here Kim Cardassian looks stunning in her Vogue formal gown.

This is brilliant and hilarious. Love how Kim K's depicted as a reptilian alien who tend to be enemies of the Federation.

45. In the new movies, you tend to see Spock paired with Uhura.

As far as putting Uhura with Spock, this Trekkie is not a fan. I mean such romance doesn't really make sense to me. What the hell were the screenwriters thinking?

46. Here Captain Kirk tells a female redshirt to set her phaser to “stunning.”

Female Redshirts: To some they are eye candy. To some they are candy. Still have a higher survivor rate than their male counterparts.

47. Deep Space Nine serves as the exploration base of the Gamma Quadrant.

Well, I guess Deep Space Nine makes an easier costume than the Enterprise. Love the light effects though.

48. Guess these two people are from Scotty’s family.

After all, they're both wearing kilts. Then again, you never saw Scotty wearing one but that's probably for the best.

49. Here we have Captain Picard on bridge fighting the Teddy Borg.

I have to admit, this adorable. However, this little squirt will probably end up getting assimilated though.

50. Tending the bar on Enterprise is Guinan.

She's played by Whoopi Goldberg in TNG. Still, she's said to be the person whom Q most fears. Also, she's of much better use than Troi.

51. Seems like Captain Kirk can’t get enough of those green girls.

Well, given Kirk's reputation, this should be expected. His green girl fetish is a running gag in the new Star Trek movies, which I think is appropriate.

52. Guess Lieutenant Uhura has a call from bridge to answer at this time.

Well, she's a communications officer so what do you expect. Still, she does get to land on a few planets, however.

53. Didn’t know Deep Space Nine had its own baseball team.

At first I didn't know what to think of this until I realized the "Niniers" reference was to Deep Space Nine. Also, giving Sisko's love of baseball, this is appropriate.

54. On Star Trek: Voyager, Seven of Nine is easily the most remembered.

Then again, she's probably the main reason why most people remember the show at all. Not to mention, she tends to be very popular among teenage boys as well as 18-35 year olds.

55. Of course, sometimes Kirk’s presence can be made known for months at at time.

Yep, Kirk was here all right. And it seems like he wasn't using protection at the time. Kirk probably has kids all over the galaxy.

56. That man is undead, Jim.

He says so himself. Most likely died when Kirk and some officers visited a planet. Not sure how he became a zombie.

57. As Bones, Dr. McCoy is the Enterprise’s Chief Medical Officer.

He also knows when a man is dead, Jim. Also, don't make him do stuff beyond his job because he's a doctor not a________.

58. Looks like Captain Kirk is having some trouble with tribbles.

By the way, "Trouble with Tribbles" one of the best Star Trek episodes ever. It's also hilarious. Remember tribbles make terrible pets.

59. These Klingons decided to show up in their casual wear.

However, the man's clothing does have the Klingon logo on them. Still, for Klingons, these two seem so friendly.

60. Guess these Klingons have a sensitive side after all.

Nevertheless, they're dressed up as Imperial Stormtroopers in tutus and tiaras. Hilarious.

61. This Seven of Nine looks absolutely stunning.

Not bad looking for someone who's been assimilated by the Borg and survived. Then again, she was probably Voyager's resident fanservice personnel.

62. This little Spock seems like a logical tyke.

Now this is so adorable. Love the little pointy ears. Still, remember that he's half-human though.

63. Oh, look, here comes the Redshirt brigade.

Whenever one of these beams down to the planet, chances are they're never coming back. Well, at least for the men. Not sure about the women.

64. As far as Star Trek villains go, none is more menacing than the dreaded Khan.

Had to include this since Wrath of Khan is one of the best known Star Trek movies ever. Was famously played by Ricardo Montalban.

65. Guess Gorn decided to dress for the occasion this time.

Unfortunately, for us, you won't be seeing him fighting Kirk any time soon. Still, Kirk's fight with Gorn is pretty funny.

66. You might not know her, but at one time Yeoman Janice Rand was seen as Kirk’s main squeeze.

Here she is with a tribble and a basket weave (on her head). And yes, her hair was like that in the original series, too.

67. As chief engineer of the Enterprise, there was never a problem Montgomery Scott couldn’t fix.

However, the phrase "Beam me up, Scotty," was never uttered on the show. Still, he's one of the few redshirts on the series to survive planet landings and live to tell the tale.

68. On TNG, Q is an entity of mystery and a formidable foe.

Q is part of a race of godlike aliens who live outside a plane of existence. However, though he plays pranks, he's not a malicious character. In later shows, he's more of a teacher.

69. So I guess this redshirt isn’t really dead after all.

He's just been seriously injured by aliens and has been treated in sick bay. So it's no fuss.

70. Seems like Worf really tries to set a good example to children.

Actually I think this is a dad with his kids. But Worf is a very popular character in Star Trek since he's a Klingon and a badass.

71. Sure Klingons kill but they won’t eat you.

Seems like this Klingon has a sense of humor. Nevertheless, Klingon warriors can be quite aggressive and ruthless.

72. Speaking of Klingons, here’s a Klingon Hello Kitty.

I know it's kind of a weird mashup since Hello Kitty doesn't seem to live to Klingon warrior preferences. Still, this is funny.

73. Where would a Klingon warrior ever be without his signature weapon?

Not sure what this weapon is called. But it sure looks quite badass. Now I see why Klingons are popular among Star Trek fans.

74. For fans of the original series, who could forget Kirk’s fight with Gorn?

Now the Gorn and Kirk episode might've been poignant for the time. But now it hasn't aged very well.

Now the Gorn and Kirk episode might’ve been poignant for the time. But it hasn’t aged very well within the last decades.

75. Guess Evil Spock is sharing a dance with Evil Uhura.

Okay, I might see this pairing. Still, while I'm fine with Uhura and Spock, I am not okay with them getting together in the reboot movies. Because I just don't see them getting together.

76. You know that dog with the horn from the original series? Well, there’s a costume for that.

Man, that looks so freakish it's unreal. Still, that original series didn't seem to have much of a budget on visual effects.

Man, that looks so freakish it’s unreal. Still, that original series didn’t seem to have much of a budget on visual effects as far as I’m concerned.

77. Borg assimilation: fun for the whole family.

Yes, this is a Borg family. Even the baby's teddy wasn't immune. Resistance is futile.

78. Apparently, Klingons know how to dress for a wedding.

However, would you want to attend a Klingon wedding on Star Trek? No. Seriously, I don't want to know what a Klingon wedding is like.

79. Now won’t you take a look at this San Francisco Worf.

Still, I don't think I'd call Worf a hippie beyond any stretch. But I think this is quite funny.

Still, I don’t think I’d call Worf a hippie beyond any stretch. But I think this is quite funny.

80. When these Redshirts are hit, they just keep going.

However, on the original series, redshirts don't survive wounds like these on the planets. In fact, they usually don't come back.

However, on the original series, redshirts don’t survive wounds like these on the planets. In fact, they usually don’t come back.

81. I’m afraid she’s dead, Jim.

Here we see a redshirt doing what redshirts do best: dying on the planet. That's what they mostly do.

82. For little ones, these little Starfleet costumes would do nicely.

Let's see, there's Kirk, Spock, and I hope the kid in red is Scotty. If not, then I think he's doomed.

Let’s see, there’s Kirk, Spock, and I hope the kid in red is Scotty. If not, then I think he’s doomed. Still, these are so cute.

83. Of course, as we all know about Ferengi women, clothes are seen as obscene.

Nevertheless, on Earth, their naughty bits had to be censored. Still, this is funny.

Nevertheless, on Earth, their naughty bits had to be censored. Still, this is funny.

84. Seems like we have a new bombshell on deck.

And I'm sure Kirk is going to have his way with the new science officer by the end of this episode. Still, that's a pretty good costume.

And I’m sure Kirk is going to have his way with the new science officer by the end of this episode. Still, that’s a pretty good costume.

85. Here I introduce to you Data with the Borg Queen.

Heard they got together in the movies, don't ask. Still, the Borg Queen is a very insidious villain in the franchise.

Heard they got together in the movies, don’t ask. Still, the Borg Queen is a very insidious villain in the franchise.

86. Heard of Sherlock Holmes and Watson? How about Data and LaForge?

I think they did have a Sherlock Holmes episode. However, I'm sure they're sleuthing skills are very astute at least in the engineering room.

87. Kirk and Spock are such best buds that you can see them on a bicycle built for two.

And apparently, it's fire powered. Still, you have to love this or at least think it's clever.

And apparently, it’s fire powered. Still, you have to love this or at least think it’s clever.

88. Let me guess, that’s Chakotay from Voyager.

Because the guy is best known for being No. 2 Janeway, having a tattoo on his face, and ending up with Seven of Nine. That's all you need to know about him.

Because the guy is best known for being No. 2 Janeway, having a tattoo on his face to show his Native American heritage, and ending up with Seven of Nine. That’s all you need to know about him.

89. Looks like the sun god Apollo decided to pay a visit.

He may be a Greek god but he was featured in a Star Trek episode. Also kind of a jerk by the way, not unlike his mythological counterpart.

He may be a Greek god but he was featured in a Star Trek episode. Also kind of a jerk by the way, not unlike his mythological counterpart.

90. Looks like tribbles seem to get along with Romulans quite nicely.

However, according to "Trouble with Tribbles," tribbles don't like Klingons at all. This is why the tribbles were sent aboard a Klingon ship in the end.

91. This Spock tyke knows his Vulcan signs.

Being half-human, you'd have to expect Spock being bullied while he was a child. Still, this is adorable.

Being half-human, you’d have to expect Spock being bullied while he was a child. Still, this is adorable.

92. In original series, some alien costumes tend to be rather outlandish.

I don't know what this alien is supposed to be but she's kind of a cross between a supermodel and an Ooomah Loompah. She also appears scantily clad in tin foil.

93. Whenever there’s a problem, this cat LaForge could always fix it.

Yes, it's a cat dressed as La Forge as you can see. I'm sure some people might find this incredibly cute.

94. In a parallel universe, you have Captain Kirk with his Marlena.

In the normal Star Trek universe, Marlena only lasted an episode. But so do most of Kirk's girlfriends.

In the normal Star Trek universe, Marlena only lasted an episode. But so do most of Kirk’s girlfriends.

95. While Klingon men are fearsome warriors, you can’t underestimate Klingon women either.

Because they can be very aggressive and are also expected to be warriors. So don't try to mess with them.

Because they can be very aggressive and are also expected to be warriors. So don’t try to mess with them.

96. On TNG, where would Riker be without Counselor Troi?

I don't have the slightest idea. However, TNG would've probably been a better show without either of them.

I don’t have the slightest idea. However, TNG would’ve probably been a better show without either of them.

97. Seems like this Vulcan girl of Starfleet has a lovely dress and jacket to match.

Sure she's supposed to be a female Spock. But I think this is a lovely dress. I kind of wish the women on the original series would wear something more like it.

Sure she’s supposed to be a female Spock. But I think this is a lovely dress. I kind of wish the women on the original series would wear something more like it.

98. Seems like joining Starfleet is a tradition for this family.

 Then again, in later Star Trek shows, people do have their families on board with them. Still, this is adorable.

99. Guess this Starfleet officer will suffer a fate worse than death.

He's probably going to be assimilated some time soon. And I'm sure any resistance he tries to put up will be futile.

He’s probably going to be assimilated some time soon. And I’m sure any resistance he tries to put up will be futile.

100. Guess these green women are part of the Starfleet entertainment company.

Still, if they were in the original series, I'm sure Kirk will try to hook up with one of them. Nevertheless, I think their costumes are quite creative.
