I adore Kaylee!!

1. I have intense love for her in "Shindig" and that frilly dress. I can totally relate to her love for big pouffy dresses. I think it's left over from Anne's desire for "puffy sleeves" in AoGG.

I just want to squish her when she's being herself with all those snooty people at the ball:

KAYLEE
(re dancers)
Aren't they something? Like butterflies or little pieces of wrapping paper, blowing around...

And then it's so awesome when she's fitting in:
KAYLEE
By the way, the eighty-ten's the same machine. They changed the plating, hoped no one'd notice!

2. When Mal first meets Kaylee in the "Out of Gas" flashback. I adore that she was noticing the engine's problem while having sex:

KAYLEE: Sure it is. Grav boot ain't your trouble. I seen the trouble plain as day when I's down there on my back. Your reg couple's bad.

BESTER: The... the what?

KAYLEE: Reg couple. Right here. See?

BESTER: No.

KAYLEE: This. I'm pointin' right at it.

[She rolls her eyes, sighs, reaches in, breaks off a part of the engine.]

BESTER: Hey!

KAYLEE: Here.

[She plunks the part in Bester's hand. She reaches back in, tinkers.

Don't really serve much of a purpose, anyway. Just tends to gum up the works when it gets tacked. Hand me that, will ya? So I figure, why even have it? Better to just plug your g-line straight into the port-pin-lock and that
should...

[WHIRRR the turbine starts to turn.]

3. When she can't shoot anyone in "War Stories." I feel the same way about her that Mal does when he finds out that she froze up and couldn't shoot someone.

Oh, and I love that teddy bear on her overalls so much!!

The lights and flowers around her door are so perfect!

It is kind of an ugly dress, yet for some reason I love it and want one of my own! Just in case you're now imagining that I have hideous taste in clothes, I normally wear jeans or jean skirts, lots of black and hoodies. :)
