This is Patty Keiper, part time impersonator at
www.hollywoodimagesusa.com in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I will simply let
her speak for herself:
"This [Gabrielle] outfit I made for a Creation
Convention appearance for the fans and children just for kids for once,
not for the agency.
The top is actually made of two things not even
clothing! The "sweater" is a towel from Target, dyed the muddy
green and threaded with the crosshatching of hand sewn yarn. Its laced
collar is a placemat that I "frayed" at the edge with a good tug
of war with the neighbor's dog LOL! The panel underneath the collar is a
square of green denim pant leg. The skirt is actually a shirt, taken
apart. The main portions of it are the back and front, but the side flaps
are the arms of this shirt, de-seamed and turned upside down. You can
still see the button holes if you look closely. The belt was from
Goodwill. It was tan when I bought it, without the characteristic green
lacing border which I added. I painted on the belt design usually freeze
frame videos as references. The staff is one I purchased from a Renaissance
Festival and altered to match the one on the show, using hay twine, alpaca
fur from an old Eskimo coat and real leather accents. I painted on the
midshaft pattern accents and made the whole thing brown. It is very heavy
and looks better than the real thing I've been told! The boots were real
leather shorts which I spray painted maroonish. I made the laced up spats
from maroon imitation vinyl and glued them on to the short boot underneath
in a four way tulip petal pattern. The hair is my own. I made the braided
leather hair band. I have no bangs because I have to keep length and style
for the Janeway work so these bangs are a hairpiece of human hair sewn
onto the hair band itself LOL!
Elisa Linderholm is the Xena with me in most of these
shots. |

Here is a fifth season Gabby outfit made for me by a
leather worker/horse breeder, Nancy Ojala of Diamond D Ranch, Laurence
Minnesota.

For fun is a Captain Janeway I do for work. LOL!"
