Kevin. New England. Some of my interests include sci-fi, sci-non-fi, music theory, humor, and Alaska (grew up there). My age makes me more or less a grandparent on tumblr, but I'm not really that old. Not yet, at least. But probably older than you. Just saying.

 

I started this blog with the intention of creating and capturing cool stuff I find. A scrapbook, if you will.

 

When I find good internets, I will make them happen here. Check back often for more internets.

Regarding the shift from “Enterprise” era unisex jumpsuits to Original Series era miniskirts

“I like to imagine that the miniskirts weren’t Federation regulation. Women on every other ship in the fleet wore jumpsuits like everybody else.

However, since Kirk could seduce rocks with his Vaseline-lensed close-up gaze, all the women on the Enterprise wore skimpy skirts and low-cut shirts in an attempt to gain his attention.

In fact, his powers of seduction were so well-known that when a planet learned that the Enterprise was en route, its female population almost instinctively began dressing as provocatively as possible. This obvious emasculation by an alien male caused the male population to get all manner of pissy. That’s why so many of them were really hard to get along with.”

    I have a better idea! It involves very small skirts and ignoring what’s happening on the TV. ;D
