Oh, Eve. Please! Don't worry about this.
I just enjoy these threads so much. I'm thrilled if I get a right answer now and then..

Thank you, Eve! Congrats, finance! C'est Magnifique was one of my folks' favorites! If I played it once, it was a hundred times....

That's great, Mudskipper! That sounds like it! Hope The Lady Eve chimes in soon...the suspense
is killing me.....

I'm thinking *Can-Can*. The oscar winner is Shirley Maclaine. Maybe the other is *Silk Stockings*
with the song *I Love Paris* ? I don't care so much about winning, but just knowing the answer..
I spent about an hour last night researching this...wasn't their a dance sequence with just
the tune in *Silk Stockings*? Or *Let's Do it* from *Anything Goes* and *Can Can* ?

Well, Tracey, this thread is about BIG HAIR and classic film. Don't forget Jane Fonda in *Barbarella*.
(There is already a previously posted photo of Jane as Barbarella on TBHT.) I think space travel must chemically alter hair and hair products, thereby, i.e., making it easier to style and easier to expand.
Even though I am not a NASA engineer, it is obvious that during the 60's, television programs about space often featured puffier do's and skimpier togs, and the hard-and-fast *Bonanza* rule of "Death to the Doll" often applied to anyone that Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, or Bones fancied, except for Mr. Spock's Mom (Jane Wyatt), Lt. Uhura (necessary to keep the bridge up and running), a woman who had the run of her own planet if it didn't explode at the end of an episode, Mrs. Robinson (Lost in Space), or My Living Doll (Julie Newmar). I think Newmar qualified here because the audience knew up front that she was a robot, as far as suspension of belief is concerned.
Since *Star Trek* was conceived by men, and episodes were, for the most part, written by men, it would seem that their philosophy of Utopia on the Enterprise would be the status quo, scantily clad babes in BIG HAIR.
Out of the 145 writing credits listed for *Star Trek* episodes from 1966-1969, only fifteen listed are women. Ten by D.C.(Dorothy Catherine) Fontana, who last garnered writing credits in 2009, Margaret Arman (3 episodes), and Jean Lisette Aroeste (2 episodes.)

How cute, JJG! My friend has a bird and all he can say is "Whaaaaaat?"
I once bought a DVD with the "Loaded Goat" episode on it, and it didn't even have the original theme song. Just some horrible mock tune that made my son and I scream in horror..

Adorable photo, ham! Who else would have bigger hair than Cousin It, except maybe Phil Specter...

The third photo of Gloria preceding this post shows her wearing a black cut-out halter dress currently popularized in the current Sex in the City film sported by Kim Katrall, and featured earlier today on The View.
It's almost exactly the same dress from the Gloria image. Just goes to show ya that classic goes around and comes around.
It was like seeing her triumph again!

I may not chime in here very often, but I do enjoy reading all the insights and discussions on the "historic" Rambles II thread.
Rohanaka, that archaelogy on MissG's brilliant concepts, and your own insight is pure inspiration. I enjoyed the film *Wings of Eagles*, on many levels, the Maureen/Duke chemistry, the story itself, the self-deprecation, and the anxiety that one spouse endures during a major health crisis of a partner. My Mom was handicapped to a certain degree, and this film helped me find a window into my parents struggles, but they were more Walter and Hildy in their discussions about anything, and seemed much more uplifting in their approach to difficulties than the couple portrayed by the Duke and the Queen of Technicolor in *Wings of Eagles*.
Jackie, I think you certainly make some viable points, yourself!
The discussion here reminded me of an article I'd read on the virtual highway:
-
In the late seventies, I had very long hair, past the loops in my jeans, and I was a very serious music major. And many of my friends had Afros, so every once in a while, I just wanted to have an Afro, so I would spend two to three hours rolling my hair up in pin curls, Dep, or Dippity-Do, and have this wonderful poufy do for a couple of days.

Well, no one can be constantly "oomphful" unless it is Ann Sheridan, Ava, or Betty Hutton!
Sometimes you need quiet moments to comtemplate moments when "Oomph" will once
return in a blaze of energy...no yin, no yang....

Thank you so much, Jackie! So do you!

I guess one of my favorite Zero Gravity do's graced the crown of Sigourney Weaver in *GalaxyQuest...*
Unfortunately, not everyone can have BIG HAIR in space...
