If I only had a brain...
Up close, a tricorder looks a LOT like a portable cassette recorder ca. 196something. Which is not, I understand, a coincidence.
The display is dinky. Damn, that future technology is good!
The metal mesh for a Star Trek communicator is really cheesy-looking.
Also, the 1950s Superman costume is stretch wool, and sadly faded; Superman is now blue-grey. Possibly he's going through a noir phase. KISS's costumes, however, still look fabulous.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I went to the Coppola winery in CA a few years back - there's a small museum that has a Tucker car and some costumes from Bram Stoker's Dracula. That red plastic armor that Vlad the Impailer wore did look a little cheesy close up, but maybe not as cheesy as a communicator.

Huh. I own the art book (EIKO ON COPPOLA) of those costumes; it's one of the great drool-inducing costume flicks. Pity about the script and the casting.

I checked - I have one picture of the red armor, with the gold gown thing and gold boots next to it. I took five pictures of the Tucker (I had never seen one for real before.)
Want me to send you the picture? (The stuff was all behind a glass case, so the pictures in your art book are much better, I'm sure.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I saw Pylea. It was about the size of my head.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I touched Angel's convertible. It was about the size of a car.

I bounced on Inara's bed. It wasn't as sticky as I thought it would be.

Thank you for the offer, Tommyrot, but I'm really only interested in the dresses, which I have big droolworthy pictures of.
Was Pylea a matte painting, Allyson? I've completely forgotten. And snerk about the bed.

It was a sculpture, Betsy. So weird!
