This is “the” Kelly from Omaha. I was so struck when she told me who she was I got her autograph. She really is an unsung hero and I am truly grateful for Alex, Joe, and her. I hope she will see the one multiple posts I’ve made- I also replied on U-Tube, and the Colonial Fleet in the hopes someone could tell her the answer to her question. I have, since at least 8th grade, really wanted to be married on halloween so I could have a costumed reception for my wedding. Assuming my husband is a fan, and perhaps even if not, I will be proud to wear the costume to my reception (probably much to the chagrin of my parents…although I did get my mom hooked). I’ve never been a big on crying, but I truly was so moved because it meant so much to have “the” perfect costume for what will hopefully be one of the happiest days of my life. I have rarely seen such kindness and truly reaffirms by belief in trying to be a blessing rather then a burden. Perhaps when I get my PhD I can truly change the world for a little better

I loved Glenne’s story about the fan who travelled from afar and was dismayed and disappointed about everything being out of her reach, and who was approached by Mr. Propworks who said he’d help her to get a costume. I totally teared up. It’s the sort of kindness that examplifies sci-fi fans, the kind of thing that makes Trekkies and Whovians and Xenites and BSGers (I must confess, if there is a BSG fan moniker, I don’t know it – for shame!) dreamers and doers for a better world. I am always struck by the generosity of our (not so) little circle of geeks. It does a body proud and I am honored to be among you. Go Geeks!

I thought this was an absolute brill interview. I wasn’t able to leave my humble abode in Delaware to go, but I watched intently through my computer screen. I was most interested in what Glenne Campbell had to say above everyone else actually. These were genuine masterpieces, each and every one of them. I was surprised she didn’t go into their making more. Like what her thought process was behind them or things like that. I would have loved to hear it. Also, would have loved to hear what she thought of the fans that make costumes based on her work (like us kids over at The Colonial Fleet). Her position is one of the most important in the entire series (though we really didn’t think of it that way). I mean, what would Six be without that red dress?! Or the pilots and marines without their dogtags?

I’m really anticipating her work on Caprica, especially since we’ve already seen promos and photographs for it. The costuming seems very old school. A lot of 40s wear, which is right up my ally (and a lot easier to copy than say, a flight suit or Roslin’s red dress from New Caprica).

Love your show, like I told Matt over at TCF, I don’t miss an episode (though this is my first time posting around here, it will not be my last). And dude, why not post around here, you can win some stuff. lol. I’ll tell ya, a new flat panel television will be a lot cooler to look at than my 19 inch Zenith from 1992 (which is when my mother bought it. lol). Especially with these last BSG episodes. I’m just going to go frak off now.

Great interview! What I would give to sit down with her for 20 minutes and ask her all my crazy costuming questions…

Hahaha… Actually, Pavlov’s Dog, Glenne was saying off-camera that she’ll be reminding Ron Moore how much the costumes went for when it comes time to negotiate her next salary!

Glenne was a delightful woman, and Nat ha d a lot of fun interviewing her both for BSGcast, and for leading the Propworx Q&A Discussion the day before! I just wish we had been able to get Richard Hudolin for an interview, too… the Q&A that I got to lead was fascinating, too!

I can’t believe how versatile Glenne is, from designing a whole military’s worth of uniforms to designing incredible sexy dresses for the 6. She’s so talented and I’m so glad you featured her as an interview.

I really do have to thank you on behalf of my sister for this great interview.

You see, my sister is a fashion designer who has been looking to break into the TV/movie costume work. So to her, a video like this is a few good thing for her to watch since it gives her an understanding of what other designers have been through, and in giving her some ideas of what she might need to keep an eye out for when designing what a character wears.

I think Caprica is set about 50 years before the Holocaust that happened in the miniseries. In that case, William Adama will be a young boy.
