Will Moon Maids Opt For Miniskirts?
HOUSTON — (NEA) — Now
that we know the moon isn’t
made of green cheese, that it’s
possible to walk in space and
that one spacecraft may even
make connection with another
(like changing from the Mars
local to the Jupiter express) it’s
only fitting that designers of lug
gage and fashions turn their
thoughts to space travel.
‘‘Fly me to the moon,” is no
longer a euphemism for ‘‘love
me” as it is in the song. It could
happen any day now. So a gal
wants to be clued in on what to
wear and how to carry her space
wardrobe — naturally.
Eight prominent American de
signers and Samsonite luggage
showed their ideas on the sub
ject at a fashion show here in
Houston’s Shamrock Hilton. The
show was made possible through
the co-operation of the Public
Affairs and Protocol Depart
ments of NASA. And the dis
tinguished audience of NASA

FASHIONS FOR SPACE TRAVEL done by Samsonite and eight prominent American
designers were shown in Houston, Tex., with the cooperation of NASA. The new
Saturn luggage collection was shown with all the far-out fashions. Moon suit by Betsey
Johnson (left) of Paraphernalia is in clasticizcd knit of fluorescent chartreuse. Gown
for the moon bride (center), done in silver, is by Luis Galinancs for Bridal Couture.
Kaspar for Joan Leslie designed the short silver mini-moon dress (right) with open
work midriff. r
officials must have found it a
refreshing change to be consi
dering such weighty problems
as ‘‘Will hemlines be short or
long on tne moon?”
The luggage collection, called
“Saturn,” sturdy, lightweight
and roomy enough to hold your
ray guns and both your every
day and Sunday helmets, made
its debut in the show in an ar
ray of beautiful colors.
Highlighting the far-out fash
ions was a two-piece utility
"moon suit” by Betsey John
son of Paraphernalia in shiny
acetate elasticized knit of flu
orescent chartreuse. Space-age
features included attached gad
gets for ray guns, parachute st
raps, a cut mirror belt buckle
that can double as a radar-re
flector apparatus, a helmet with

Join The Movers
For J. P/s Only
High Hying junior petites go back to school with
T. W. A. in a relaxed and controlled tent of wool
double knit. Pink, Gold, Red, Green, Navy, Orange.
Sizes: 3 to 13.
$23
attached eye shield and protec
tive mask and zippers and
snaps all over the place. (You
can see its twin on the cover of
any of the more lurid science
fiction paperbacks.)
For men, John Weitz showed
two suits designed for freedom
of movement. They were worn
with disposable paper shirts and
small ascot-like paper ties.
Elinor Simmons of Malcolm
Starr did a tent evening gown
for the moon maiden, with a
turquoise theatrical gel giving it
a transparent vinyl look. The
mini-moon underdress of white
satin was worn with opaque
white tights and vinyl knee botts.
Kaspar for Joan Leslie show
ed a short silver mini-moon dr
ess with an openwork midriff.
Added sparkle was provided by
a silver stocking shoe and green
wig. Gorgeously “spacey.”
Gunther of Ginala did a plea
ted mini-space jumper with
neck halterstrap, In white ga
bardine. This was worn over a
one-piece jump-suit of deep pur
ple double knit and topped with
a plastic space helmet (which
clouded up every time the poor
model took a breath. But the
air may be clearer up yonder.)
Victor Joris of Cuddlecoat fas
' hioned a micro-moon black wool
gabardine jumpsuit with long
sleeves and topped it with a V
shaped white wool gabardine
shield trimmed in pink vinyl.
This was worn with hot pink
tights, a black hood, yellow and
white goggles, a hairpiece switch
on wire and flat sandals that tie
up to the top of the thigh.
And then came the bride. Luis
Galinanes for Bridal Couture
put the space-age bride into a
mini-moon wedding gown. A
complete circular overlay cape
in a net-like silvery fabric orna
mented with silver balls was
worn over the short bridal dress.
The headpiece was helmet-shap
ed, with “moon beams” coming
out of the top and a long tulle
veil. I wish someone had done
the groom’s get-up. Those paper
shirts shown earlier would be
no match for the moon maid’s
mini-glitter.
Where there are brides, child
ren usually follow. And so Peter
Goldfarb of Tiny Town did a Ka
rate jump suit and coat and a
black vinyl coat with a yellow
and black A-line dress for the
schooler-girl of tomorrow.
It was a good show and
many of the designs, minus the
weird accoutrements, could walk
the earth today. Tire handsome
luggage collection, of course, will
be an ideal travel companion
on a jet. No need to hold off on
that until you can board a space
craft.
WHAT’S NEW?— Semi-culottes,
divided in front like pants,
smooth in back like a skirt.
They're teamed with long jacket
of matching navy cotton denim
and a coordinated paisley printed
blouse with neck tie. By John
California.

POLLY’S
POINTERS
rm
Clothes Hamper
DEAR POLLY — I am a teen
ager and I want my hair to
grow long like the Beatles. My
mother insisted that it be cut, so
my father cut it. I cannot help
it but I want to look like the oth
er kids. Will you please print
this as I want the grownups to
find out some of the problems
of a teen-ager? —MR. TROU
BLED.
DEAR MR. TROUBLED —
Here it is. I am sure we will be
hearing from both parents and
teen-agers as to how they have
solved this problem. Wanting to
be and look like the gang seems
to be very important to young
sters and it will be interesting
to hear from those who may
have found a solution satisfac
tory to both sides. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — We do not
have a pedestal-type basin in
our bathroom, so the sight of
exposed water pipes and so on
has long been a surce of ag
gravation to me. I redeemed
three books of trading stamps
and got an attractive fiber clo
thes hamper. I removed the top,
cut out the back (half way down)
and shoved it back to the wall,
thus enclosing the unsightly pi
pes and all for the cost of t h e
tax paid at the stamp redemp
tion store. Since I now have a
decorative cover for those an
noying pipes, I have added a
further touch of daintiness oy
shirring net the width of the top
edge of the hamper (about two
inches) and glueing it around the
top for an attractive finish. —
HAZEL.
DEAR POLLY — When I shar
pen pencils for my children or
get new pencils ready for them
I always take a roll of gummed
transparent tape and wind it
about 10 times around the top of
the pencil so that if the young
sters damage their school pa
pers or want to attach papers
together they can tear off a
piece of tape and keep every
thing neat. — MRS. C.J.B.
