You won’t find any stark, black Flying Triangles, humorless black-eyed Greys, tales of Area 51, or dark and dire conspiracies here. No!
Instead, as time progresses, you’ll doubtless learn much about wobbly flying saucer film-footage; curvy and well-stacked space babes that used to enjoy hanging around the deserts of California (Where’d they go? Oh that’s right: they have cunningly infiltrated reality TV and the music biz)
And so, in thanks for the great plug and kind words, here are some images that I hope Nick,as well as the rest of you, enjoy.
Anne Francis, who I loved as Honey West when I was a kid -- I wanted to be Honey West -- in the classic sci fi movie Forbidden Planet, 1956. More accurately, these are stills from the movie:
Yvonne Craig, (Catwoman, er, Batgirl, thanks for the correction Richelle -- see comments) as a slave girl in the Star Trek episode Whom God Destroy.
Zsa Gabor, in Queens of Outer Space, and another still from the movie:
Here are some great cover art images and advertising:

Yvonne Craig actually played Batgirl--just nitpicking. Really fabulous blog!
Thanks Richelle!
Regan --
Oddly enough when I caught the second image of Anne Frances, of Robbie holding a train to her dress, I flashed on a visionary image Arthur C. Clarke had of the future (yesterday's future, many years ago). He was imagining a kind of futuristic Athens, a world with only a few million people, a population living in comfort and freed from the concern about survival, supported by a "slave" population of intelligent machines.
I can just see it --
"Prime Minister, the machines are revolting!"
"Yes, and they're trying to overthrow the government."
(Pa doomp poomp ... crash.)

Cool post - thanks! Pictures of scantily-clad space babes who look like they just stepped off the set of a Russ Meyer film are always welcome!
