You haven’t seen a hot alien chick until you’ve seen “The Devil in the Dark”.
Plus, you get all the “sweaty brows and wild eyes, trauma, suffering, rage, grief” during the mind-meld. And bricklaying.
Hot Horta action! Oh yeah!
Well, she hadn’t worn it before, so it hadn’t faded like Dr. Crusher’s had.
Pepper Mill, the first time she saw this (at a Con), says she asked out loud: “What is she supposed to be? Ship’s Cleavage?”
After that, she says, she heard it and read it evetywhere. She claims she invented that meme.
Ship’s Cleavage, indeed.
Cite?
Gad, I feel so cheap…
I think Troi looked better in uniform also.
And the cleavage had a LOT to do with structual engineering of her outfits, Ms. Sirtis isn’t that well endowed.

The skants looked plain bizarre. Did any skant wearer actually have lines or were the just in the background? Anyway both TOS pilots featured women wearing pants. Trousered women were seen in the background of later episodes.
According to a Star Trek book that came out in the late 60s (early 70s) talking about TOS, costume designers could show the top and sides of the boobs but never underneath, fearing the censors who ban it because they believe moss grows there.
And no belly buttons at all!
This looks kinda underneath-y:

Yeah, it’s not safe for work by Dopeprude standards, but it is an image from an actual Trek episode.

That’f be Stephen Whitfield’s The Making of Star Trek, a book that came out virca 1968, while the show was still on the air.
I can’t think of another case of a book about a TV series coming out about the show while it was still on, back in the 1960s (about the production, that is, rather than fiction, or fluiff pieces). It may have something to do with the fact that The Making of 2001 came out about the same time.
That’s not from the original series.
That’s not an Original Orion Slave Girl.
This is an Original Orion Slave Girl.
What’s that line from DS9: Trials and Tribble-lations. The one where they go back to TOS Tribble episode?
Male1: Wait, isn’t your uniform the wrong color?
Male2: No, back then they wore gold for command and red for engineering.
Dax: And women wore LESS! (showing off her miniskirt)
Woot!
Well, officially her species wasn’t named, and I made the appropriate entry some time ago on the Orions (Star Trek) page. Actually, Susan Oliver was only playing an illusion of an OSG and though Mr. Spock speculated Thelev (altered to look Andorian for “Journey to Babel”) was Orion, it was unproven by the end of the episode, so officially, one can argue, Orion never appeared at all in the original series. I suppose I could get fussy about it, but I’ve learned that though Wiki corrects well on major errors, minor quibbles last forever.
Doesn’t matter. It’s my idea of a great uniform for female Star Trek personnel.
The future ain’t what it used to be.
You can lead a Horta culture…
…but you can’t make it zinc.
Another example. In the show - I think called Paradise Syndrome, it’s on my DVR now, Kirk gets amnesia in an Indian culture and stays there for some months. The hot alien chick is pregnant by the end of the show.
