A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)
That Heavenly Body certainly sent me Beyond Antares. Bettie Page first taught me about sex, but Nichelle Nichols was the one who triggered an awareness of breasts in a growing boy. Watching her reach for the comm and realizing that her breasts extended almost to her elbow... Yeah, i got pretty jealous of Kirk in Plato's Stepchildren. And, of course, was all hot for her Mirror Universe uniform. Mix that with her voice and her being in a science department role (I like 'em brainy, what can i say?) and she was easily one of the biggest sex symbols of the time for me. And that time lingers on.
I required mind and personality, even back then. (Yeah, i didn't date much) But we didn't get to see nearly enough of the lady on that front. Remember, she was so marginalized for a long time that she seriously contemplated quitting the show. So i focus on what we got. Happily, as time went on we got to see what Nichelle's, not Uhura's, personality was like and her appeal grew commensurately.
I was lying of course. My attraction to her was purely physical. No shame in that. I'm sure she'd have felt the same about me, macho manly-man that I am.

While I, of course, was mainly attracted to her personality and her mind. (What a nice guy am I.)

But, i still like Uhura, too.

I liked the blonde yeoman who vanished after 10 episodes..
Yeoman Janice Rand, played by Grace Lee Whitney. She's on the blog somewhere as a 'babe'.
