It's A Faaaake! Not The Art Of Star Trek - Foreign Relations

  You can blame The Very Mistress MJ for this Star Trek-related post.
 And that we have all these photos of cardboard cut-out Trek aliens on the beach from June's Art Challenge...
  Well, yes, but The Very Mistress made the egregious error of assuming that just because I like Star Trek, I must also like Star Wars.

I don't think she even knows the difference!  

Even I know, and I'm the SubConscious of a witch born hundreds of years ago!

  Quite. So, as punishment, The Very Mistress must wade through this post full of very similar photos of Star Trek aliens having some summer fun and showing the love on Overstrand beach.
  But, before we get to the photos, here is the challenge as set by the winner of the May Art Challenge:

So being that it is June and the summer is here, lets see your best Trek summer creations, it's all about the fun of summer, camping, swimming, all recreation, so either turn a shuttle into an air stream camper, or summer surfing on Risa, but ya gotta use a summer theme, even a cruise liner... ::Ahem:: lol*

The only rules are no battle scenes, no war ships.. It's summertime lets show the love!

* The challenge setter's entry for June's challenge is a space cruise liner!

Showing the love, indeed. They're not going to kiss, are they?  Are they?!?

Ew! Gross!

Awwwww... They're in love (vom)

  As some of you know, I love to leave things until the last minute, so with a deadline of 30th June, I wallowed in three weeks of procrastination before finally getting around to starting work on the Art Challenge on the 24th. Having eventually decided to go with a beach party theme, here's what I came up with:

24th June
  First off the chopping board cutting mat were a Bajoran and Cardassian in shiny shorts. What better way to show the love than these two very much enjoying each others' company despite the shared history of their respective peoples.

The Cardassian's gold short-shorts were inspired by Kylie's gold hotpants in her "Spinning Around" video!

25th June
  Next up was this trio of Bolians and a couple of surf boards. I chose Bolians to add a splash of colour (I almost went for Andorians, but knew that I'd make a mess of cutting out their antennae).

Co-husbands and wife

26th June
  After rushing home from work, I descended upon the beach armed with my cut-outs and Camera. After a typical day of beautiful, bright sunshine while I was at work, as soon as I got home so did the clouds. Also, the tide was almost high, the wind threatened to blow everything away, and to top it all off I was hungry and impatient. Still, I managed to get a few photos that weren't completely awful:

Shiny!

After some rearrangement (spacing the figures further apart - although, I could have positioned the surf boards even further back as they look too small where they are) came this photo and the following two.

I had Camera too high again as the figures look too small for their surroundings (especially the Bolians)

This one's a bit better - I think I was almost laying down when I took it

29th June
  Having finally whittled down the photos to my chosen image, I cropped and touched up (no, not the hunky Bajoran, the sand around the Bolians feet as the cardboard stand was showing), and tried out some "Summer Fun" titles.

No. Not this one...

Hmmm... Maybe...

Yes. This is the one I submitted for the challenge.
