Fun and Games - 2.4 - Hangover: Inara
A very late fourth part, but hopefully it's still a welcome one. Continuation of the Hangover saga, this time we'll take a look on how Inara's day went by.
Me as Kaylee with my very own (okay, maybe not my own, but I wish he was) Simon
FellingBlonde and EmmaRigby's choice. Hmm... I wonder if I have a story left to tell that I haven't told already. Well, it's basicly just moments really. Like saying hi in the hallway, getting a hug from him after this picture was taken, him laughing when monkey "Simon" started making chimpy noises at his autograph session. Good times!
Me as Kaylee with the real Kaylee
Teachdaire and Nyarl requested it, so here's my last Jewel picture (for the moment at least). I already mentioned this before, but she did it twice, so I can mention it twice. When I came up to her, both times the first thing she did was rub the teddybear for good luck. After the photo was taken I also got a hug from her :)
<br><br>
In her autograph session I finally got to tell her something I'd been wanting to tell her for two years. She's the reason I started watching Firefly. I listened to her talk about the show at Fusion and I just had to see it, so I bought it the first chance I got afterwards and started watching. When I came home the next day my three roommates had kidnapped my box set and was having a firefly marathon. To which Jewel said: "Good girl - spreading the word" lol
Me as Kaylee together with Christina this time
Another one of my pictures, this time it was inevermarried's choice. So here goes the story. By this time, if you've been following my little picture story, you should know about "Simon", my monkey.
<br><br>
Well I brought him with me to Christina's autograph session. So I get to the table and puts him down on the side as I hand her the pictures and the other things to sign, so I placed "Simon" a bit on the edge, so he falls off the table. Christina laughed and shouted "Monkey down!" as I picked him up. I don't remember if it was her or someone else who thought "Simon" was broken, so I had to demonstrate by pressing one of his activation points (he could be activated or he could all of a sudden start doing things). As I was leaving the table Christina told me she liked the monkey... lol
Me as Kaylee together with Morena
Okay, so I'm doing a story per picture... lol. Okay, so I saw Morena around on Friday and Saturday and got both a picture and autograph with her, but I don't have a personal story here. However, I do have a funny thing from her and Jewel's talk.
<br><br>
I asked them about what they thought the chances were for Simon/Kaylee and Mal/Inara in Joss' verse. And after Morena said that although she'd like to watch them try, she didn't think Mal/Inara really stood a chance romanticly, the conversation went over to Simon/Kaylee and baby-chances. And Jewel got afraid that if she got her wish and Kaylee had a baby, then maybe Joss would kill the baby, or Simon, or her... so Morena suggested that Inara could take care of it, raise the baby as a companion and Jewel turned to her, gave her a look: "You wanna turn my baby into a whore?" lol
Me and Jewel together with "Simon the Monkey"
Nyarl and CosmicFugitive made the decision on which picture and Jewel won. If you go two pictures back you get the story of my costume. And if you go one picture back, you get why I named the monkey and that I went up to Sean to introduce him to "Simon".
<br><br>
When I was talking to Sean, that was when Jewel came out of the bathroom. So I got like a minute to introduce them to "Simon". So Jewel's saying "hello" to the monkey, holding her hand out to pet him, when he moves and apparently Jewel hadn't seen him do that at the fancy dress. So she jumps back, saying: "Whoa... that's freaky".
Me and Sean with "Simon the monkey"
Ok, Leiasky wanted a Sean picture, so I picked one of my Sean pictures to show next. So, thing is my Kaylee costume involved a monkey (read the text on my other pic to get the story) and people wanted me to name him, so I thought since I was honoring Jewel by dressing up as Kaylee, I could honor Sean as well, that's how Simon the monkey was named.
<br><br>
After the fancy dress I was on my way in after having some fresh air and I saw Sean talking to his assistant, so I went over to say hi and introduce him to "Simon". The assistant greeted me by saying: "we were just talking about you".
<br><br>
The next day I brought "Simon" with me to the photoshoot. And the first thing Sean said to me when I came up was "how's the monkey?" lol
Me dressed up as Kaylee with the real Simon and Kaylee
One of my Cubed photos. I had several done, nine in total. So let me know if you want to see the other one's as well.
<br><br>
This is me in my Kaylee costume. When Jewel saw it she immediately bent down to rub the teddybear on my knee. She said it was for good luck. That evening in the fancy dress I went as "Kaylee and the battle of the terrifying space monkey". My goal was not to win, but to make Jewel laugh. Well, when my costume was announced, the whole room roared with laughter, including Jewel who slapped her hand over her mouth, nudging Sean in the side (in other words: the reaction was more than I had hoped for).
<br><br>
Buying the material and the monkey? 100 $<br>
Making the jumpsuit and the extras? 12 hours<br>
The look on Jewel's face when she saw it? Priceless!
