earth 2, two (this time it's earthier)

remember earth 2? of course you do. it was the greatest.

(it wasn't. actually. in hindsight. but. for grade 4 me, it was. so great. oh MAN!)

if i were to remake earth 2, i would costume it like this missoni. the shades of tan and brown. the animal skins and fur and leather and knits which say cowboy and pioneer but also sultry future dystopian glamour. stone and dust and drying moss... the slight twists on current dress which read so very 'not-too-distant-future' that is such a trend in science-fiction, aka the belts worn not on the waist, but just a bit too high. (example, the reverse racerback uniforms of battlestar galactica. brilliant.) one earring. that hair. my earth 2 would be darker in content than the original. more bleak... but there would be that warm white dirty light, like in firefly/serenity... actually. this collection would work pretty well for firefly/serenity too. come to think of it.

i love science-fiction. get over it!

also that sharp blue! sort of cerulean. watery. there would probably be a whole tribe of earth 2 dwellers who dressed completely in that. pow!

(i was going to comment, too, on those great wrap-shrugs which are reminiscent of ballet shrugs, except that you  can't lift your arms in them, and how much i adore them. but i got carried away with the earth 2 thing... so. there's that. too.)
