So I'm planning a Captain Janeway cosplay for Halloween/Big Apple Comic Con (might not happen - the pattern is shipping from California, so it might take a few weeks to get to New Jersey ><*). I already have a combadge and boots, and I plan on going fabric shopping this weekend, so all I really need are some nice rank pips, right?
Wrong.
While looking through some refs, I remembered that Kate Mulgrew's eyes are blue. I figured, okay, that's easy, I'll just get some non-prescription blue contacts off the internet, right?
Wrong.
Apparently you need a prescription for non-prescription contacts.
FML.
*If Captain Janeway isn't ready, I may just wear the Kyoshi Warrior costume again. Incidentally, is Avatar appropriate cosplay material for a comic con?
