166: Space Kilts

Uniforms and Costumes.   The Next Generation gives us with a very detailed look at fashion for its time. Not only do we see the dress for those serving in the Federation but of other planets and species. The use of red, blue and yellow in Star Trek uniforms mirror the US Navy's use of color to specify different responsibilities and tasks performed on an aircraft carrier. In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Richard Marquez, Lee Hutchison, and Amy Nelson discuss uniforms and costumes seen in the 24th century. We cover uniforms from season one through First Contact, highlight costumes of Q and Lwaxana, and cosplay ideas and inspirations. These uniforms and costumes are what Star Trek conventions are known for and your hosts reveal which uniforms they have worn and will wear. http://www.navy.mil/navydata/ships/carriers/rainbow.asp http://www.thegeektwins.com/2014/07/6-horrifying-facts-about-star-trek-tngs.html?m=1 Chapters 00:00:35 Intro 00:01:10 Contest 00:02:08 Blu Ray features 00:04:15 Uniform Surprise 00:05:18 TNG uniforms 00:10:24 Cosplay 00:18:05 Embarrassing Photos 00:22:25 Troi Wardrobe 00:27:50 First Contact Uniform 00:35:22 Klingon Accessories 00:42:10 Lwaxana Troi 00:48:57 Klingon Costume 00:57:02 POTFM 01:00:52 Closing   Hosts Richard Marquez, Lee Hutchison, and Amy Nelson   Production Richard Marquez (Editor) Lee Hutchison (Producer) Amy Nelson (Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Ken Tripp (Executive Producer) Norman C.
