Valjiir

-Oh it just hit me - you meant Iindians with that sleeveless remark.  I don't know enough about them and their empathic powers to comment intelligently.

Just FYI, Indiian sensitivity is not affected by clothing - or the lack of it - in the least.

Betcha T'Pau is Spock's gramma or something.

Well, in Valjiir, yes, she is.

Nobody likes Stonn.

So tru dat!

Jilla doesn't mind wearing clothes... as long as they're sleeveless.

(I do actually find it a bit strange that married Vulcan women wouldn't wear dresses with sleeves... they must not have to worry about sunburn or the Vulcan equivalent of mosquitoes, which are the two main reasons that I not only wear sleeved tops in summer, but if I'm going out, they have to be long sleeves!)

Jilla's clothing preferences are Indiian, not Vulcan.  Before Selar died and while on Vulcan she dressed as Vulcan wives do, which does include long sleeves; see Lady Amanda's clothing.  However, once in Fleet, her civilian clothing reverted to the Indiian style.  Ah, the whims of fashion

Ah, thanks for clearing that up! Would you believe that is a detail that has confused me for over 20 years?


As I recall, T'Pau is Spock's grandmother in Diane Duane's novel Spock's World.

I have a theory about Spock and his family involving that...

I'm finally getting started with illustrations for "The Percentage."  This one doesn't really tell you much about the story, but I just wanted to post to prove I've not dropped off the edge of the Earth...

..., but I just wanted to post to prove I've not dropped off the edge of the Earth...

Unless you're a Terry Pratchet fangirrrl, that'd be quite a feat.

[Mylochka]

...it'd be a heckuva drop too...

On the subject of Indiian clothing, here is Jilla in "Indiian-married-lady-appropriate" dress and an unidentified model in single lady dress in a travel ad for Indii I made up (along with several others) to go in the background of some illos.

Does Indiian apparel always accentuate the buste? 

[Valjiir1]

Indiian ladies always have an accentuated bust 

And BTW< happy birthday to Mylochka!

...it'd be a heckuva drop too...

Unless one of the Elephants happened to catch you with its trunk....

Spill, spill!

Cher, I wanted to give you a heads-up that word is Star Trek: Phase II (nee New Voyages), the fan production, has an adaption of The Mindsifter lined up for principal photography later this year.  This being Phase II, they'll surely be interested in making sure it conforms to Enterprise/TNG continuity and making sure we know that !PETER IS GAY!  AND WE'RE COOL WITH THAT!, and are almost sure to contradict Valjiir continuity somehow along the way - but still of interest, I should think.


(My long-delayed answer/essay about Spock, Spock's family and Vulcans in general follows shortly, or at least the beginning.)

[Valjiir1]

I thoroughly enjoy New Voyages as another non-canon extension of TOS, so thanks for the heads up.  But whatever they produce, it hardly matters to Valjiir continuity, which is ALSO a non-canonical extension of ToS 

And I've been waiting for your answer for so long, a little longer makes no real difference

It's been awhile since I last re-read the "Shadow Captain" stories, but I don't remember anyone named Peter in them (Peter Kirk, Jim's nephew?).
