Kara Thrace's ponytail: an ode in picspam form

[rose_griffes]

Um... I'm not sure this counts as a tribute to Kara or just something really weird. But I like her hair, and when it's longer it should be in a ponytail; I was so excited when there was a brief glimpse of ponytail this past week. And then I had this weird idea and wrote most of the new lyrics during a weekend car trip.

You know Home on the Range, right? State song of Kansas. Buffalo roam, etc. I wrote two new verses.

One last bit...
1. When I say sicko freak I mean it with kindness.
2. I'm following Tom Lehrer's rules for writing folk songs... namely that: "It don't matter if you put a couple extra syllables into a line."
3. We all remember that Galactica is called the Bucket, right?
4. At least I can't link this one to awfulbgfic (unlike the Kara/Leoben WNTW crossover)

Verse One:

Oh, those pilots in the fleet
got standards to meet
Don't hit Tigh, or you go to jail


wash up good, shine your shoes;


clean up those dress blues;


Long-haired gals, keep a sleek ponytail


Chorus:
Oh, Kara's ponytail!
Before you the nuggets all quail!


whether messy or neat


long or cutely petite

you're my favorite accessory on the Pail.

Verse Two:

Some folk cavil and quip
over each Kara 'ship




As for moi, mum shall I be
yeah, right

No, I'll ne'er say a word...

...but I'll flip you the bird,
if you're one of those sicko freaks who likes Kara's hair free

even Cally and Galen disapprove

New chorus!
Oh, Kara's ponytail!
At a glimpse we fangeeks all flail
blonde tresses entwine
in a splendid design

You're our favorite accessory on the Pail!



Okay. Sorry about that. But not sorry enough to stop posting more pictures.


It's the ponytail premiere! Our first glimpse of it!


ponytail doubts Sharon's commitment to sparkle motion is unimpressed at being able to 'choose' a special cylon boyfriend.
*laughs*


This face cracks me up. That's the only reason I'm putting in this shot.


Oooh, the ponytail impresses the pretty cylon boyfriend she chose!
Hah, that's at least one retcon that's more fun in retrospect


all hail the ponytail!


Ponytail likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain


Pensive ponytail


Frisky, forward ponytail


ponytail is confused at this rare denial!


ponytail brings out envy


Ponytail gets to have big guns


and enjoy the lovely lighting of Caprica's post-nuclear holocaust skies


Awww! Ponytail gets a hug from pseudo-daddy!


Ponytail has permission to keep cute puppy boyfriend


Ponytail inspires admiration in fangirls everywhere!


Ponytail in its natural element: a viper


A rarely-seen season three ponytail!


The even more rarely-seen season four ponytail!


sadly, season four ponytail isn’t getting any action, but instead has to watch old people make out


The end.

Ugh, I am so tired of cropping and uploading and cutting and pasting.
eta: most caps found at Galacticabbs.

You are a goddess. I thought you were awesome before, but now? I think you're the most awesome-est awesome that ever awesome-ed. (Hee) Almost as awesome as Kara's ponytail.

Almost.

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

I'll take almost!

[taragel.livejournal.com]

OMG. THAT WAS HILARIOUS!

SO EXCELLENT.

And when I wasn't being distracted by the fetching ponytail, I will say you have some classic Kara faces in there. (And Figursky as a potential ship!! AH ha haha! Joy!)

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

(And Figursky as a potential ship!! AH ha haha! Joy!)
Hee, I had to include him once I found that pic.

[emmiere.livejournal.com]

AHHHH!! Weird is AWESOME! Everyone should be jealous of the ponytail.

I love your disclaimer info section, btw. And I am amused/disturbed at having Figurski included in the Kara ships. Blonde deckhand, almost Cally(shudder), and Kara. O_o

All hail the ponytail tribute, long may it wave! *g*

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

AHHHH!! Weird is AWESOME!
This must mean I am a totally awesome person! *nods*

Glad you enjoyed it!

Okay, even though you will most likely mock me as an omghater, I'm not that wild about the ponytail -- at least, not in late S2 when it was pulled back so tightly. She looked so severe and un-Kara (though I suppose that was deliberate.) I quite like looser ponytails, though, especially the slightly poofier one in "Revelations".

(Don't mock me!)

Fabulous picspam!

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

Hm, personally I prefer the short hair she had in late season one. It does sort of irritate me that it's long and loose so much of the time now.

*mocks mercilessly*

[daybreak777.livejournal.com]

Yay, ponytail! Thanks for braving exhaustion for hair! It really was my favorite look on her besides Hand of God short hair. I think I laughed hardest at Sharon's lack of committment to sparkle motion. Hee!

Ponytails rule!

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it! (Now you know why I wanted a shot of Kara and Felix! Sadly the Galacticabbs website didn't have a shot of the exact moment that you have in your K/F icon.)

[daybreak777.livejournal.com]

Oh sadness! That's okay, though. I am having fun looking at all the ponytail icons in this thread. Most excellent. :-)

[lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com]

ROFL! awesome!

can I have some of whatever you're taking? :P

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

can I have some of whatever you're taking? :P
You wouldn't like it. It involves repeated exposure to hormonal adolescents until every bit of your common sense is worn away. hee!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*cracks up*

I love Kara's ponytail.

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

Me toooooo!

[shah-of-blah.livejournal.com]

I was going to quote my favorite parts, but then there were too many to choose from.

I'll just go with this one (also because I love that picture...and the one after it): ponytail doubts Sharon's commitment to sparkle motion is unimpressed at being able to 'choose' a special cylon boyfriend.
*laughs*

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm pleased that you liked it!

[nicole-anell.livejournal.com]

You rock!

(Now where are these rabid Kara/Figurski shippers? *g*)

[dionusia.livejournal.com]

Hey, now. We're not ALL crazy.

*goes back to writing Kagurski makeout scenes*

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

backs away in fear of dionusia and her Thrace/Figurski shipping ways

[dionusia.livejournal.com]

This post is mesmerizing and adorable. JUST LIKE THE PONYTAIL!

Ponytail likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain

Ahahaha. I want to get caught out there with it.

Thanks for doing this! ILU!

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

I aim to please! And more picspam of Kara = good no matter what weird things I type to go with it

[frolicndetour.livejournal.com]

I got this icon solely for the ponytail. :)

Bwahahaha! I LOVE YOU. Almost as much as I love our favorite accessory on the pail. :D And now I have Home, Home On The Range stuck in my head. *shakes tiny fist*

if you're one of those sicko freaks who likes Kara's hair free

INDEED. Our fandom needs SOME standards. (No offense to wisteria_.

At a glimpse we fangeeks all flail

*FLAILS*

Best post ever. Especially the pic of her yelling at Kat.

<3 <3 <3

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm glad you liked it!

I've had 'Home on the Range' stuck in my head for days...

[arielmoondance.livejournal.com]

*slow clap* Very fun!

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks!
