Howdy. I'm new here. I had a question, though... more of a request, heh. I've seen Serenity and really enjoyed it. In about a week and change I'll be going down to Georgia for Dragon*Con. Supposedly, a good chunk of the Firefly crew are going to be there (the exceptions being the Tams and Mal). Last year, we put together a crew and made costumes. We met Nathan Fillian, Jewel Staite, and Adam Baldwin. They really dug us. I was a really really bad Shepherd Book.

Anyway, the point of this topic is we're planning on doing it again this year, only people want to do movie costumes. I decided I'd make a way better Mr. Universe than Book. Only problem is, I'm finding it next to impossible to find any good pictures of Mr. Universe. I have no idea what the man wears and I saw the movie so long ago I can't remember.

If any of you know where I could find some good refference pics of Mr. Universe, I'd really appreciate it. Or even if someone can DESCRIBE what he wears to me, I can take it from there. Thanks!!

You should have the word *SPOILER* in the title
and remove the words

Select to view spoiler:

Mr. Universe

most people have NOT seen the movie yet...

and it seems to me that if you have a Buffy bot on your arm then you can claim to be Mr. U in any out fit since we hardly saw anything he wore...
(just have her and a knife in your gut)

Although, as spoilers go, this one is pretty light. There's no mention at all as to what Mr. Universe's role was in the movie. And anyone who's gone to IMDb in the past few weeks probably didn't even notice that the character is listed.

As to the rest, I would agree.

I am so glad that I bought the Official Visual Companion :D

Select to view spoiler:

- jeans: dark blue, they look pretty new. no cargo pockets or funky straps. just your basic pair of pants.
- crappy sneaker: they look like basketball sneakers to me. a dirty beige or gray, with a red stripe, and brown laces.
- a sweater-vest: like a hoodie, but without the hoodie and with a zipper. he wears a different one in each of the photos I have. one is an aqua-blue with a burgundy-purple stripe coming down underneath each sleeve to the elbow. the other is essentially the same design, except that it is mostly dark purple, with dark liliac stripes.
- t-shirt: I can only see it in one picture. it looks gray with a black pattern over it. it sort of looks like a large feline (lion, panther, etc). it looks more like a random pattern than an image.
- hair: short, a little curly and black, like he's going to need a haircut soon.

and if you want to have a bot on your arm, this is what she's wearing:

- dress: strapless light-aqua with beige flowers sown on a sort of thin net-type fabric (I'm sure there's a proper name for that, but I don't know it). the length goes down between her knees and ankles as far as I can tell.
- shoes: strappy platform sandals. the straps are clear, and the soles look black or brown, but the picture is a bit dark.
- necklace: a choker consisting of 7 strings of light pink pearls. it looks like it has medium-sized plastic flowers glued to it (blue, pink and purple).
- make-up: natural. her lips don't look redder or glossy-er than they should.
- hair: long & blond. with long bangs that are pulled back to each side of her face.

if you need anymore help, just let me know ;)
