Ugh you guys, stop talking about Centauri fashion and reminding me of my wasted opportunities. 

A couple of years ago, my father and I were in a store that sells ren fair/steampunk clothing, and my dad was looking for a new doublet (yes, I come from a family of nerds who think that the renaissance fair is the perfect vacation spot). He’s friends with the proprietor, and she was recommending to me a regency style shirt/vest combination. White button up shirt with swordsman sleeves (poofy but gathered in at the wrists) and a black vest. It would have looked something like a female version of this. 

Instead, I got new boots and a pirate hat. In my defense, this was before I discovered B5 and it was also at the beginning of the whole pirate mania, so I got a lot of use out of that hat.

Illustrated my favourite Neil Gaiman quote for writers. :-) (and thanks to Neil for his permission)

It’s as true now as when I first said it…

Why don’t we dress like the Centauri?

WHY INDEED

We don’t dress like Centauri because during the colonization of America people who dressed like Centauri died of heatstroke.

I’ve long been convinced that the only thing stopping humanity from actualizing the wonders we dream about in science fiction, is humanity.
