Rosie's Fantasy Females

Growing up in the Seventies was a good time for fashion. I don't mean general womens fashion, although some of it was okay. No, I mean what is now considered 'fetish' fashion, as worn by women in sci-fi and action adventure series made in the late Sixties and Seventies, and what formed a large proportion of my viewing as a child interested in those genres.

Consequently, you couldn't help - well, I couldn't! - noticing the fashions worn by some of these leggy ladies - and fancying it rotten! Here are just a few of my favourites fantasy females, click on the picture for a larger image - more pictures soon!

Lynda Carter - Wonder Woman (probably my all-time favourite!) As I said earlier, she was just sooooo sexy in that tight costume - and you could see why she'd been a former Miss World contestant with a figure like hers! If only I could have a figure like that ...

Jane Fonda - Barbarella With a change of outfit every twenty minutes or so - depending on when it got ripped to shreds or she got bedded by the next hunk on the planet - Jane showed off her ample curves from start to finish, especially in the opening zero gravity striptease... And in some scenes you got the equally attractive Anita Pallenberg as the evil Queen - lovely!

Louise Jameson - Leela (from Doctor Who) Louise had a nice figure beautifully shown off in her warrior skin costume. As she put it, "if you're wear a leather leotard and you're on after the football results, becoming a sex symbol is inevitable!" Too right! Louise is a lovely women right to this day, and I'm very pleased to have met her at conventions

Catherine Schell - Maya (from Space:1999) It's only a shame that after the first episode she was in Maya hardly wore this outfit again, changing into her Moonbase Alpha uniform for the duration of the series - and while that had a short skirt and boots, it didn't compare. But while on her home planet of Psychon with her father, she wore this lovely outfit that did not fail to make an impression on me - lovely!

Nicola Bryant - Peri (from Doctor Who) As a fan of the show - it's my favourite! - the leggy assistants that changed every so often didn't come much more leggy and curvy than Nicola as Peri. And they started her wardrobe as they meant to go on - firstly a pink bikini in her debut story and then often leotards and shorts. These certainly helped display Nicola's ample charms, and proved that this very feminine figure wasn't dead even in the mid Eighties. Like Louise, I've met Nicola and she's just as lovely now as she was then

The Moonbase Girls (from U.F.O.) Unlike Space:1999 which came after it, U.F.O. had the best fashions of the future as far as I'm concerned. Pure sex! In their slinky convertable costumes, these lovely girls helped defend the Earth from the Aliens intent on harvesting organs for their own dying race. They needn't bother harvesting these girls! Absolutely stunning in their silver costumes and purple wigs with eye makeup to match, if this is what the future was supposed to be like, show me to it! For costume design, Sylvia Anderson should have got an Oscar!
