      Some people have criticized the original 1960s Star Trek for putting their female crewmembers in micro-dresses and go-go boots. But the actresses were originally supposed to wear shirts and trousers -- it was Grace Lee Whitney, who played the Yeoman Rand character, who asked the costume designer to give her something that showed her legs, of which she was justifiably quite proud.

    • @dangerousdavescott
      @dangerousdavescott Місяць тому +1

      The mini skirts were Whitney's idea, but it came as a response to a "suggestion" Gene Roddenberry got from the network when Star Trek got the green light to go to series to make the female uniforms sexier. He shared it with his people and Whitney suggested the skirts to show off her dancer's legs.

Nancy recorded the title song from the James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice" in 1967. She also starred with Elvis Presley in "Speedway" in 1968. Nancy did a few collaborations with Lee Hazelwood including the songs "Summer Wine", "Jackson" & "Some Velvet Morning".

      One of the reasons she made the centerfold was because Hef just about worshipped her father. Security was always extremely tight at the Playboy Mansion, but there was a standing rule that only two people could show up unannounced and still be allowed on the premises anyway: Frank Sinatra and Queen Elizabeth II. As far as is known, neither of them ever took advantage of this indulgence.

    As mentioned before, miniskirts were big in the 60's, and we were as distracted as you, Phil! I was in my teens then, and miniskirts were much appreciated. And also as mentioned before, there were girls sent home from school for wearing skirts that were too short. Every once in awhile, when school started in the morning, you'd see a few girls kneeling on the wooden floor near the front door with some teachers observing. They had to kneel with torsos straight up, and the hems of the skirts had to touch the floor. If not, call Mom, and off you go! Guys at our school also had a dress code. Our hair could not touch the collar of our shirts, or the tops of the ears. Our shirts were required to have collars, they had to button up to, but not including, the collar (dress shirt), and we couldn't wear blue jeans. Had to be slacks, although they did allow a new kind of pants called jean slacks. Basically just a dressier version of blue jeans, but they weren't blue. And no necklaces for guys. And, they frowned on rings for anyone, depending on the kind. Wrist watches were OK, and ID bracelets, which were a thing back then, were OK, too. You had to look like you were dressed to be somewhere important...like school, where you actually learned something useful. Like how to read and write, to start with. Two things that seem to be getting lost. Thanks for a great reaction to a fun song! God bless you!

    This came out when I was in 6th grade. No pants and certainly no blue jeans were allowed in school and stockings or opaques were mandatory- no bare legs! Our skirts could be no shorter than three inches from touching the floor when kneeling or we were sent home to change. By the time I graduated we were into mini-skirts, hot pants, and bell bottoms. More than a decade of assassinations, war, and the draft were finally ending and we graduated into the early 70s with gentle singer-song writers (don't miss out on Dan Fogelberg- "The Same Auld Lang Syne" "Leader of the Band" and "Old Tennessee") herbal tea, Boz Scaggs, and Kansas.

    She had two further hits with, 'Something Stupid', a duet with her father, Frank. Her other duet hit was, 'Jackson', where she dueted with Lee Hazelwood. I'm surprised by your shock at the apparel. This was the sixties. As far as the short skirts and legs are concerned, it was not unusual at the time. Many of the stars and ordinary people (especially in the UK) wore mini-skirts and some of them were very much mini minis. I remember my father getting annoyed by the length of my sister's skirts, but even then, as soon as she was out of the house and out of sight, she used to roll it up further. There was even a car named after the mini (and it really was a mini, not like the mini of today which is just trading on the name).

    Those were great times for music. The music, the fashion, the lovely ladies. I wish they were the same today. When my mom was young, she looked like Nancy Sinatra and used to wear boots to work. So, when that song came out, her workmates used to call her "Boots."

    I was a child in the 60s, and this song was so much fun to sing and dance to. Much like my own 10 year old daughter would later dance around to Brittney Spears. Nice? No. Fun? Yes. As far as mini-dresses go, remember this was the time of Star Trek and Lieutenant Uhura.

    *"Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)",* written and originally performed by Cher, was covered wonderfully and with a totally different, haunting atmosphere by Nancy Sinatra, and it was Nancy Sinatra's version that was chosen by Quentin Tarantino for prominent placement in his 2003 movie, "Kill Bill Volume 1".

    Nancy appeared in several motion pictures and had several television specials that were big rating hits. And not only was her father, Frank Sinatra an iconic singer, but he was also an Oscar-winning actor for the film "From Here to Eternity". Appeared in dozens of films in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. And Gene Kelly taught him how to dance and he became very accomplished at it.

    I'm quite certain that the performance of this song very much appealed to most men of course but also to women because of the message of empowerment for women. I absolutely love Nancy Sinatra, my Favorite Sinatra. She was Fire Hot & a huge part of Miss Nancy's hotness was her showing her very Feisty Spunk in this song. No one else can really truly do justice to this song like Sinatra did.

    This particular video was known as a "Soundie." It played in a video jukebox that are also known as peepshows. A guy would put a quarter in the slot and the film would start.

    When this came out I was in 7th grade. I found a picture of Nancy Sinatra in a pink bikini, cut it out of the magazine and put it in my school notebook for "inspiration."
    One day my deskmate (Kathy Hughes) needed to copy some notes I'd taken in class and I handed my notebook to her without thinking... and, of course, she looked thru my notebook and found the picture.
    I was teased the rest of the year.
    The song was pretty good for the times but her duet with Frank on "Something Stupid" was much better.

    😊❤ Hi Phil and Sam! 😅 This was fun! 😅 Sam, I agree this song was very simple and a small vocal range. I can't think of a song but I know she has more to offer. I think this was meant to be kind of 'campy' and empowering women. Like saying, don't be a doormat, be the boots!! And speaking of boots, Nancy was wearing go-go boots. My experience and memories were that go-go boots were at least knee high, and they expanded to include over the knee and thigh high. 😮😅 What cracks me up is that they could show this type of content in entertainment. However, I distinctly remember that in TV shows, comedy or drama if they showed a married couples bedroom it always had twin beds!! They were not allowed to show, or even suggest two people in bed together!! 🤯😂 It could be a bit confusing for me growing up in this era!! LOL 😂 Luv you guys!! 😊❤❤

    I remember when Nancy sang that back in the day... She had a nice little run with that song as I remember... Around that time she also did a movie with Elvis Presley and was romantically linked to him for a short time which her dad didn't like too much... As others have already probably commented, she did a duet with her dad that she got a little mileage from also to help her career...If memory serves, she was 44 when she tried to make a comeback in the music industry and once again her dad helped out by making appearances with her now and then to help boost her comeback career but it didn't work out for her and she kind of faded out of the limelight eventually only to do guest appearances on the occasional tv variety show... That's what I can recall from memory...however, the Google fact checkers that scan the comments looking to correct someone to feel important no doubt will give you exact dates and details after their research on google... Great reaction guys... See you on the next one... Keep being awesome !!!...

    We didn't think anything about them showing their legs, because women were wearing miniskirts and the bikini had become very popular. On the original Star Trek TV show, the women cast members insisted that their uniforms have miniskirts, because women back then wanted Women's Liberation to be reflected in their comfort with showing as much leg as possible. Even as a kid, back then, I applauded their desire to break stereotypes and show the world that independent, powerful women can still be sexy and own it.

    As a teenager in Australia in the '60's, the lyrics were often described as somewhat provocative BUT remember most of us heard it on the radio! I can't remember seeing a video ....
    probably because it was somewhat "shocking". Besides we saw the UK as the home of the miniskirt and all the associated fashions/behaviours, not the USA. That US awareness
    started with the hippie/flower child movement incl. all the "free love" generation.

    The 60s were unique. This was a catchy fun song. She did a great job with itas well as a duet with dad. But to be honest she would not be known at all if not for father Frank. Her brother Frank Jr has more of a singing career and toured for many years although he didn't have any hits to speak of. When Dad or mom is an icon no child could ever compare. Boots is still a good fun song.

If you listen to the lyrics without seeing the movie, then you hear a girl being very dissatisfied with her boyfriend, warning him she's going to walk over him.
