Time out for brain massage

[pallas_athena]

Researching this week's column is bending my brain. I'm venturing into the web space of some seriously wacked-out people, and there's a point where it ceases to be humour column material.

Can we talk about clothes and science fiction for five minutes? please?

Cheers Belle! Let's start from the cerebellum and work forward, shall we?

That should do it! Would you care for various scented massage oils?

Sounds like a good idea... let me know if you find anything interesting on the web!

Mmmmm... rose and neroli, if you've got 'em, please!

Working on it right now.. various contact methods are on my profile if you want to swap ideas etc that way *curtsies and begins the massage*

60s sci-fi series had rather interesting outfits. Buck Rogers had quite a few interesting ones, and there's possibly the original Star Trek series. Flash Gordon (film) had some extravagent outfits on the ladies. Not sure how you can inject the humour in though, although some of them were just downright silly.

Actually... scrap Buck.. that was late 70s, although the outfits were still rather interesting and weird..

Yeah, the old Star Trek had some great costumes... basically anything meant to look futuristic or alien was extremely silly, especially (as you say) the women's outfits. Steel bikinis ahoy!

I wonder how comfy one of those would be... would be fun trying... although I do prefer one piece swimsuits. Just don't lock me in it!!

The original Batman TV series had some curious outfits but not to the extent of Trek...although speaking of Trek, half the costumes in all the series were quite weird.

Well, that is true. I remember some of the villains' costumes in Batman: truly awesome.

I'll go hunting for pics on Google later and knock up some sort of collage if you like. *curtsies* How's the massage going?

Trust me. Steel bikinis are never as comfy as they look.

What? I've got layers...
