Fashion…In…Spaaaaace!

Fashion...In...Spaaaaace!

Even though you’re living on some distant planet, there’s no reason you can’t look amazing!

It’s good to know that even with advanced technology and space travel available, fashion remains sensible and modest.

Also, skiing? Skiing in space? Not sure if serious…

    notice women dont need to breath cause the robots

  2. Terry T says:

    Why is it that the man gets the protective air-breathing apparatus and not the woman?

    • rwill says:

      Because there is always air in the food preparation compartment. ;p

    • mr bad kitty says:

      cause the man is going out and fighting space aliens or getting fired from Spacely Sprockets. Meanwhile the woman’s place is in the hydroponics lab, helping the children fight off intergalactic space plagues, nanotechnology viruses, or providing comic relief during embarrassing meals with the owner of Spacely Sprockets. Everyone should know their own stereotypes, lol.

      Tam: “Told you not to put your head into this jar of pickles, you dumbass!”

  3. nic says:

    The solar garden is an inside hydroponics lab, silly, where she grows lots of things people grow with hydroponics… lots of things…
    After which, she likely doesn’t care about such silly things like breathing.

  4. corianne says:

    so…apparently, in the future, capris means pants that have shoes attached to the bottoms, not pants that are just the right length to be unflattering to everyone.

    And how in the world is that what I focused on this entry?

  5. Hmph says:

    If this is supposed to be about “Lost In Space” (the TV series… for those of you who don’t know) they have messed up the first names of the Robinsons… The Robinson ladies are: Maureen, Judy, and Penny. The guys are: Prof. John and young Will Robinson (“DANGER!! DANGER!! WILL ROBINSON!!!), Maj. Don West, and that Pesky Dr. Smith.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_Space_(comics)

      A comic book named Space Family Robinson was published by Gold Key Comics and written by Gaylord DuBois.The Robinsons were: scientist father Craig, scientist mother June, early teens Tim (son) and Tammy (daughter), along with pets Clancy (dog) and Yakker (parrot). They lived in “Space Station One”, a spacious moving craft with hydroponic gardens, observatory, and 2 small shuttle crafts (“Spacemobiles”). In the second issue, a cosmic storm deposited them far from Earth and they have adventures while they try to work they way home. That comic book is not a spinoff of the TV series but was in print prior to the conception of the show.

    • Pennyforth says:

      This is not based on “Lost in Space”–as James McEnanly notes below, this image is taken from the Gold Key comic book “Space Family Robinson”, which was first published in December 1962, nearly three years before “Lost in Space” first aired in September 1965. Both are roughly based on the same basic idea: “Swiss Family Robinson in space”, which is why the families’ last names are the same, but first names, ages and appearances are different. “Space Family Robinson” was also limited to a family of four (parents and two children), with no non-related characters, as opposed to “Lost In Space”‘s Don West, Dr. Smith and the Robot.

      There was some dispute over whether “LiS” was directly based on “SFR”, since scripts for both a TV pilot and a film adaptation of “SFR” had circulated in Hollywood prior to the development of “LiS”. The owner of the TV/film rights for “SFR” and the parent publishing company that owned Gold Key filed a claim against CBS and “LiS” creator Irwin Allen, and the matter was settled out of court, with one of the results being that Gold Key was allowed to use the “LiS” name on their comic to make use of the show’s publicity (though the Gold Key comic was still subtitled “Space Family Robinson” and featured only their cast, with no “LiS” characters). “SFR” lasted slightly over a year past “LiS”‘s cancellation, and was revived for a few years in the mid-1970s with original stories, and again in the early 1980s with reprints from the previous series.

      • Cameron Winter says:

        I’m probably completely wrong, but Space Family Robinson somehow rings a bell in relation to a disney movie, one of their low budget offerings that I vaguely recall watching one Boxing Day afternoon about 20 years ago.

  6. Trinka says:

    They thought we’d be wearing this crazy stuff. Instead, we have totally logical things to wear…like snuggies…

    Yeah, I think I’d rather wear the “soil-proof metalic fiber” clothing…

    • Cameron Winter says:

      By “Soil-Proof Metalic Fiber” read Tin-Foil.

      And what in the name of Sweet Chocolait Christ is a Solar Garden?

  7. James McEnanly says:

    Actually, the comic book was out a full three years before the television series.

  8. Grouchy Ole Broad says:

    Io is mostly water ice on the surface and not much atmosphere so Tim can ski there. Or, if they should land on Hoth, it would make getting away from the Wampa Ice Creature that much easier ;)

  9. feath says:

    You know, that sky outfit isn’t that off. Exchange the headpiece for a woolie hat and well… he wouldn’t draw much attention on the slopes.

  10. SRK says:

    Space-age apparel?? Leggings and crop-top ….. wasn’t that the 80′s????

    • meetoo says:

      Funny how in the “future” everyone is skinny and wears skin-tight one-piece suits… ones that resemble the pj’s you wore when you were three.

  11. Isn’t EVERY garden (and farm) “solar”??

  12. Daniel J. Drazen says:

    Yeah, they promised us clothing like this for the future. So what do we get in the 21st century? Grunge and Pants On The Ground.

  13. Steve O'H says:

    What do you mean: “Skiing in space? Not sure if serious…”? Haven’t you seen the documentary “Wallace And Gromit’s Grand Day Out”?!?

  14. varenoea says:

    I just hope one day somebody makes a movie about life in space where everybody is wearing skin-tight clothes…

    and 90% of people don’t have the body for it. Just like in real life.

    Oh, wait. There is a place where this is already reality. It’s called London.
