Groovy TV space chicks

It’s been a while since I did one of my top 5 lists mainly because of a lack of a subject until that is I happened on an episode of UFO on YouTube and I had that eureka moment. Back in the seventies in particular these kind of shows where a fantasy for young boys with the beautiful woman in the shows.

The first entrance is a blast from my past and you need to be of an age to remember her. I will start with UFO and Col. Virginia Lake played by Wanda Ventham who was not a regular but her appearances surely lit up my enjoyment of the show.

Her character was a designer who was responsible for SHADO’s UFO tracking equipment. Later she return as a Colonel in SHADO HQ reporting directly to Commander Straker.

Expert in programming SHADO's main computer, and sometimes sent out on special assignments. Self-confident of her abilities, and with good reason. On good terms with Commander Straker, and had a brief relationship with Colonel Foster and very easy on the eye is why she was so memorable.

Princess Ardala played by Pamela Hensley, who plays the Draconian leader in Buck Rogers TV series. In the first series, she was chief baddie with eyes on conquering earth and bedding Buck Rogers. Ardala is sly, confident, manipulative, and sneaky, and Hensley, a strikingly attractive woman, brings all of this off with a grace.

Her outfits in the show consisted of sequin-bedecked bikinis the heating in these vast space ships must be really good to wander around like that. She is of course easy on the eye to watch and gave the series goody Colonel Wilma Deering, Erin Gray who was her competition for Buck Rogers a run for her money.

Seven Of Nine, Star Trek Voyager played by Jeri Ryan who played a Borg drone who had been "liberated", or freed, from the Borg's collective consciousness and joined the crew of Voyager. She was the eye candy of the Delta Quadrant where Voyager finds itself stranded and it would take 75 years to get home.

Seven of nine figure hugging uniform turned a few head within the male crew and the audience. Still with some Borg tech about her adding to her sexy look and even when she was a Borg  was the sex one.




Commander T'Pol, was a fictional character portrayed by Jolene Blalock in Star Trek: Enterprise. She is a Vulcan who serves as the science officer aboard the starship Enterprise the first to bare its name (NX-01). There was love interest on the Enterprise with the guy bating way out of his league in my book.

Being a Vulcan who are famous for not have showing any emotion, which makes her just even more desirable. Her clingy uniform she gets the pulse racing helped by are ample bosom.

It is back to the TV series UFO for the final space chick but it’s not just one it is the numerous ladies of SHADO Moon base Operations in body in Lieutenant Gay Ellis Page, Gabrielle Drake.

Again it could be the clingy uniform that seem to be important for your average space chick. She may have worn a purple wig and a silver miniskirt, the style was pure, late Sixties' "mod" and nowhere was that more evident than in the outfits designed for SHADO's female staff.
