While the tone of the series was actually pretty grim, the style was pure, late Sixties' "mod," and nowhere was that more evident than in the outfits designed for SHADO's female staff. Sure, they were entrusted with the responsibility of a multi-billion dollar moonbase - not to mention the defense of all mankind - but form-fitting spacesuits and miniskirts were the uniform of the day.
Frankly, I'm not complaining. I even dig the wig.
Gay Ellis was my first crush. I think I was 6! I even have a lovely action figure (i.e. doll, lol) of her by Product Enterprises.

I loved the moon girls more than anything else about this show! How they ever got anything done on that base dressed like that is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteI've done one post on the show:

But I plan to devote a future entry devoted just to the purple-wigged hotties!
She looked so much better without the purple wig in the episode, "Close Up."
