Ok, I know I am 6 months late to post this, but here is my tribute to Majel Barrett. Barrett passed away late December and was the widow of Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek. Barrett herself appeared in each of the series and the movies in some form or another. I think it's most interesting that in the pilot of the original series, Roddenberry had intended for Barrett to play the first officer, known as "Number One," though her character was scrapped for the actual series. Fairly progressive for the mid-60s to have a female second in command. So, here's my take on "Number One" complete in velour t-neck and pants. In other Trek news, I have been watching Voyager episodes posted to the Web, while I am drawing up a storm. That's the only series that I really liked. It's nice to have on as background noise and then I can look up at the best parts.

You should watch Deep Space 9. It was the best! All about Character development.
I did watch some of Deep Space 9, but hadn't really liked it much. They developed characters I didn't like all that much...
I think you captured the essence of the "pear shape" enhancing shirt/pants combo perfectly.
I love that you drew her as Number 1 rather than Nurse Chapel!
Rod and I had a brief chat about her while we were all at 207. I guess it did make sense for you guys to sit at the next table so we could have a little private moment...
