I haven't shared much of my DS9 makeup collection so here is a great find. It is Garak's cardassian forehead used in many episodes but screen-matched in the early episode "Cardassians." I personally adore Garak and he is in my top four DS9 characters along with Dukat, Weyoun, and O'Brien. I origianlly bought this from a person who had visited the set and was given this as a gift. When I got it home I spent hours pouring over the various cardassian characters' foreheads and it was great news to me that it ended up being Elim Garak. Latex appliances like this need to be treated carefully and not exposed to sunlight and it is best if kept away from any moving air as well. I keep mine in gallon size ziplock bags with all the air removed. By doing so, they stay soft and supple rather than drying out and cracking apart.

a non-commercial collector of Star Trek costumes. I have been collecting since Christie's held the now-historic 40th anniversay auction, and I'm afraid to say, there is no end in sight. I collect on many different levels: love of the character, passion for the design of the costume, and an amazement at the materials and workmanship involved in the creation of such magnificent pieces of "art". I find that I am constantly drawn to the costumes from Star Trek Deep Space Nine since that series holds the most interest for me, but my collection represents most of the various series and films.
