The Space Devil Doesn’t Wear Prada

Friends, allow me to speak freely, if you will.  I think we have come to know each other quite well in these past few weeks.  There is a trust of sorts.  Do you feel it?  Good.  It’s because of this immediate bond, that I choose to admit something to all of you.  Something that has to do with my dark past.   Ok, here goes:  I didn’t stop playing Barbies until a little later in life.  I played way, way longer than I should have.  Years longer.  I think my mom finally pried my two favorites (Beach Roller Blader and Astronaut Barbie) from my adolescent hands at the embarrassing age of 14.  Sad?  Yes.  Did it have any adverse effects on the person I am today?  Well…yes.  It has left me with an unbridled need to wear roller blades by day and evening gowns at night.  Also, I have to tackle my daily obsession with space suits.

I like to play Space Dress Up.  It’s true.  Any and all non earth-related costumes have a power over me like no other thing.  No article of space clothing is safe.  I see it, and I picture what it would look like on me.  My imagination goes crazy summoning up endless stories of the adventures I could have if only I was wearing said costume.  So, it is no surprise that I am like a kid in a candy warehouse here at Propworx.  I get to see all these things on a daily basis…flight suits, NCP uniforms, even green BDUs…all used on Galactica.  Pinch me.

But hey, I have NOT written this to say “nah, nah, nah, nah, naaaah” (that is meant to be read in a mocking/singsongy way).  I am writing this to inspire you to start your OWN “candy warehouse”.  Your OWN closet full of space treasures.  Play Barbies with yourself! Bid on some of our costumes so they can be yours to try on anytime you want!!!  Here are some of the classic BSG outfits that we will have available in the next week of auctions.  Feast your eyes on these oldies but, oh so goodies…

Battlestar Galactica Male Duty Blues, Size XL

Standard Duty Blue uniform worn by Colonial officers.  The jacket (approximately size 44) has gray piping, captain rank insignia, standard pilot wings and Galactica patch on left shoulder.  The pants are X-Large as well (approximately size 48).  This uniform was worn by background performers during the run of the show.  This could be a very regal costume for you, if you are a broad, strapping man that looks good in uniform.

Battlestar Galactica Women’s Hooded Sweat Suit

A dark gray Battlestar Galactica sweat suit.  The top is a gray zip-up hoodie with front pockets and patch on left breast.  The bottoms are drawstring pants with a patch above the left leg, near the hip.  There is no size information available, but seems to be approximately a large.  With this outfit, you can look just like Kara Thrace in her memorial wall photo.

Flight Deck Crew Yellow Coveralls, Size 42L

This is a yellow jumpsuit (size 42L) with white reflective stripes running down the sides and a Galactica patch on the left arm.  It includes an attached black rubber tool vest and yellow Ringers gloves.  This costume was used for motion capture purposes by production.

2 Green BDUs (M/L and XL)

We are offering TWO chances to win Green BDUs this week!  Two complete green battle dress uniforms with jackets featuring Galactica patch, pants, and rank pins.  These are screen-used costumes worn by either a background extra or by a guest star.

2 Battlestar Galactica BDU Tank Top Sets (M and LG)

2 BDU tank tops and undershirts, one set is size medium and the other, size large.  The tank tops were made by the wardrobe department especially for Battlestar Galactica.  They are screen-used and were worn by either a background extra or by a guest star.

The clock continues to tick.  The next week of auctions rapidly approaches…

Happy bidding, buddies!
