Day 15 – Captain Janeway Today’s inspiration comes from Captain Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager. The only female captain in the bunch. Way to take one for the ladies, Kate Mulgrew!

Day 14 – Robin Sparkles Today’s inspiration is Robin Scherbatsky’s 80’s, pop star, alter-ego Robin Sparkles on How I Met Your Mother, in honor of the season premiere yesterday.
