What's So Great About The BGSB Outfit? |
Lead | |
|
I notice that out of all of Gabrielle's outfits that she wore throughout the series that the BGSB outfit she sported gets the most recognition. Xenites
have given it the dubbed name the BGSB, it's been joked about by the characters & Gabrielle herself in the series, it's ironically considered her
"Classic" look despite the less popular outfits she wore in season 1, and even on most of the Xena toys/merchandise they always have Gabrielle in
that particular outfit. It's not that I don't like that outfit or anything, but it's weird to me that that
particular outfit is what most Xena fans (and even non-Xena fans at that who occasionally watch the show) associate with Gabrielle when her name comes to mind.
Personally I liked her later seasons outfits the best, and would've wanted to see some Gabrielle dolls/toys with that rather than the BGSB (especially a
toy with her pacifist outfit which was my most favorite
).

I would say the main reason why it's linked to Gabrielle so much is because that's the outfit she wore for the longest throughout the series' run,
2 1/2 seasons. I'd say it's considered the classic Gabrielle outfit because she wore it for so long and it was part of her character, when, I feel, the
show had the best storylines (season 2, 3).
It was just so recognizable as Gabrielle. And it was my personal favorite. I just loved the green on her, I think, and the skirt with the design around the belt. That coupled with her long hair just made it my most favorite outfit.

It's not my favourite costume (that honour goes to the season 5 leather bikini), but I think it's so popular due to the fact Gabrielle wore it for the
longest period of time/number of seasons (even though it changed slightly between season 2 and season 3) and because Gabrielle wore that when the series was at
its "peak" in terms of ratings (though that is more of a guess than anything backed by substantive facts and figures).
In terms of merchandise, I think most of it was created/designed while Gabrielle wore that outfit on air, so the action figures, etc reflected that. That's not to say they couldn't have chosen a variant other than "The Bitter Suite" Gabrielle complete with her dead demon child, rags and bruised face. Cheers, Haeph. |

That wonderful piece of Grecian clothing that Gabrielle wore in Season 2 and 3. It's affectionally known as the Billious Green Sports Bra. It met it's end in the episode "If The Shoe Fits" where Xena used it to tie up a smelly bad guy. The top was never the same again. Gabrielle seemed to own just one BGSB. ![]()

I thought it was still there up until "Devi"? Not completely disappearing after "If the Shoe Fits"
I have to say, probs is my favourite outfit cause it reminds me of the staff weilding Gabrielle I love.

Yeah, it's slightly inaccurate: Gabrielle wears it in 'Paradise Found' and 'Devi'.
