Talking of the Moonbase female staff (I suppose calling them "the
Moonbase girls" is just a wee bit sexist unless you spell it
"Moonbase grrrrls"), when I saw the show on the original run, I
always thought those women were members of a friendly alien race who
were helping the humans resist the evil aliens. I never put it
together when they appeared on Earth wearing other wigs that they
were really humans just wearing exotic makeup, outfits and purple
wigs. I love Sylvia's explanation that the wigs were to counteract
the static electricity from all that equipment! Or something along
those lines ... Now that's a hot wig.
Love the "Roman" explanation of Straker's haircut. I read as an
undergrad that stoic came from "stoa" which was a sort of patio
outside a school building where the philosophers use to debate such
weighty topics as truth and human passion.
Meanwhile, I'm fantasizing about Paul Foster in an Egyptian kilt ...
and perhaps one of those charming jeweled necklaces the men used to
wear in ancient Egypt. He'd have to raid Gay Drake's dressing room,
though, for authentic male Egyptian eye makeup (anybody see that show
with Peter Woodward on the History channel a couple weeks back?)
Happy Moon-day all,
Steve
