ReplyDeleteThank you Jose. I 'll fix it. I think I have a Dale Arden picture somewhere.
DeletePrincess Leis in nappies - it just wouldn't be the same!
ReplyDeleteI head an NPR conversation on Gravity which made the same point - that Ms. Bullock's undergarments made no accommodation for how tricking cold it is, even in a spacesuit.
ReplyDeleteI must say that UFO had some of the craziest styles ever seen in SF - the Anderson's Space 1999 by comparison was quite restrained, though I am sure Barbara Bain was wearing something heavily underwired.
And remember Barbarella with a young Jane Fonda (1968) and here another image from Buck Rogers: http://rolandanderson.se/comics/buckrogers/images/image0197.jpg
ReplyDeleteThanks Jose. I was looking for that Buck Rogers strip. Wilma is wearing a1920s "teddy" or combination garment.
