Hi Daph, hi all,
Here is some information on Courrèges and fashion of that era.
During the Sixties, Paris fashion had thrived on change, yet always within traditional parameters. In the
mid-Sixties André Courrèges staged a revolution with far-reaching effects. His spring 1965 collection
changed the ground rules of fashion. His crisply cut clothes, with plenty of white, sometimes striped in
black, short skirts, short white boots, slit-aperture white sun glasses, were clothes for movement, for
the young. They were the antithesis of conventional status dressing. Their context was the bright new
world in which science fiction was being transformed by technological progress into science fact. These
were the clothes of tomorrow for which the world at last seemed ready. Courrèges, brought up as an
apprentice to Balenciaga in the grand traditions of Haute couture, was delivering Paris fashion to a
young, democratic future. His success was soon followed by that of Paco Rabanne, the Spanish-born Paris
coururier who came to prominence in 1966 with his own interpretation of how to dress the liberated young
amazons of the Space Age. His proposal was a kind of chain mail of plastic or light metal discs for
clothes which proved enormously newsworthy as expressiv of the futuristic mood. Meanwhile that great
purist of Paris fashion, Pierre Cardin, created his own version of the Space Age look with stylised
visored helmet hts and clean-lined shift dresses.
Fashion photographers created a studio equivalent of space with their strobe-lit seamless white backdrops.
These dazzling light-boxes without touch-points for the figure articulated the concept of free movement
in space. Photographer Richard Avedon expressed the idea of the white studio space as the new reality in
the era of man's technological triumph. His photographs perfectly capture the obsessions of the Space Age
in such images as "Moon Magnetics", "The Galactic Girl on the Moon", "Lunar Glow", "The Young as Zero
Cool" and "The Galactic Beauty to the Rescue" in which Jean Shrimpton models a NASA space suite against a
comic book space battle.
The Space Age was translated into visual fantasy on film in two contrasting productions, Roger Vadim's
BARBARELLA and Stanley Kubrick's 2001 : A SPACE ODYSSEY. BARBARELLA is an erotic romp with the young Jane
Fonda, dressed by Paco Rabanne, in the title role. Her space is a fantasy world of sensual, tactile
surfaces, an organic dream bubble of plastics, fur and techno-sensual stimulation. It is exquisite
hedonistic nonsense wrapped with great style in a fashionable iconography. 2001 is a more philosophically
chanllenging riddle, but just as much of an indulgent visual feast. From the space station, a white space
furnished with soft contoured seating designed by Olivier Mourgue, through the stylised space craft, and
space uniforms shich owe a debt to Courrèges. White and silver were the colours of Space Age fashion.

Primitive defense mechanism?? You don't know these people!! You have NO
authority to speak about what lies behind their actions anymore than I do.
They know what they do, YOU DON'T!
Look at what has transpired. This is a SPACE:1999 mailing list. The topic
is SPACE:1999, and all facets of the show and its characters. A man came
into the list, and claimed that there were animated episodes in Australia,
episodes he had videotapes of. Because this is a SPACE:1999 mailing list,
and this was something TOTALLY NEW and interesting, they wanted to know
details. (Is that asking too much???)
Not only did the man who claimed he had the animated episodes not share any
details with the list, but finally he got indignant that people didn't just
believe him outright (on faith alone??), he first tried stalling, then
resorted to public name-calling the entire 250 of us on the list. (See
above, options 3 then 2.)
HIS attitude was childish.
Another thread came up, about a rock song called SPACE:1999. When
questions were asked about it, the person who had the information put some
sound clips out for all to check out. He did the right thing. He did not
take offense that someone asked him about it, but his intent was to share
it with the list.

We're all here for one reason.....to share SPACE:1999 with others!!! If he

Thank you, Chris. I'm "the person." It just seemed fair and I knew
most people would want to help out, so I decided to be shameless. I
must say, it has kind of reminded me of that first Operation I
organized (Operation Plans to Us, in which so many of us ordered
Roberto's Ultimate Eagle Blueprints). You know, I'm proud to say
that in this and all the operations that followed nobody on this list
has ever stiffed me. I think it speaks volumes about the majority
of this group that so many people are telling me they still want to
contribute even after they know that 1997 is paid for already.

That's great. Hopefully, we can give you a taste of what early- to
mid-1996 was like. It was wonderful, and I think it's heading in
the right direction again.

Yeah, it's an original kit from 1965, but John Green's prices are high.
He has original Eagle kits available for $149 sealed box, or $139 for an
opened box. I think I'll just wait for the reissues. I've already let my
hobby shop know that I wanyt three Eagles, two Hawks and two Moonbase Alpha
kits.

Subject: Space1999: question about 44" Eagle model
Hello again, Alphan cohorts:
Well, I have a question for anyone in the know: (my ignorance may be
poking through here, but here it goes...). A number of list members-sorry
I forget whom, have as of late, been posting information regarding 44"
Eagle models. The only Eagle models I have become familiar with are the 1"
Eagles included in the "Alpha Moonbase" model put out by FUNDIMENSIONS, as
well as a larger 10" Eagle. Unfortunately, I do not know the name of the
manufacturer of the latter, since I no longer have the box- but only the
model itself.
Is this 44" Eagle model a home "scratch-biuld" type, or was it at one
time available as a production kit? If it was an actual kit, what would
be my chances of picking one up at September's SpaceCon XII in Oregon?

[snip]
Hi Ggreg,
I think you have a good observation here. If you really think about it,
Space:1999 set a precident in actually showing humans at the mercy of
"anomoliac-nature", aliens, and, as you stated Ggreg, "forces beyond their
control". Season one did not try to trivialize or make light of the
tragedies that they faced. Unlike many of Season two episodes, season one
endings did not really end with people smiling. Many times the closing
mood was pensive, broodish, grave, etc. To me, this strikes a core closer
to realism than having happy smiling faces at the close of many of the S2
episodes. Now please don't get me wrong, I frankly like both seasons,
surprisingly enough, for some of the very same reasons that they oppose
each other. I like S1 *because* of its grave demeanor. I also like S2
*because* of its warmer, happier dispositions of the characters. Frankly,
I like seeing Koenig looking serious at the closing shot of a Season 1
episode, as well as Koenig smiling with the best of them at the end of a
Season two episode. I don't think one must necessarily negate the other.
Also, in reference to "warmer" characters, I think we need to see the word
"warmer" in relationship to the times we are talking about. Have you ever
noticed what type of shows that were being produced back in the mid to
late 1970's? Just think about shows such as Charlies Angels [I know - "gag
":)], Love Boat, Fantasy Island, etc. Save for the serious cop-type shows,
many of theses series produced characters that were engrained with elements
of "the-warm-and-the-fuzzy". Just think about the development of the
characters in these series and what the audience was use to seeing in that
day and time, and you can see what Space:1999 was up against. :)
Well, gotta run for now. See you all later.
respectfully submitted,
your fellow Alphan,

Subject: Space1999: Space: 1999 music in strange places
I was listening to my year 1 soundtrack again and I decided to report a
factoid about our favorite little show. Side 2, Track 3 of the album
("The Black Sun") is an instrumental that I don't ever remember appearing
on the show. However, it did appear as background music in a porno film
called "Babyface" which was made in 1978 or '79.
I am not trying to start a riot or drag the quality of the discussion on
this list down or offend anyone. I just thought it might be interesting
to see if anyone knows it any kind of legal action was taken to stop
distribution of this film based on unauthorized use of this track. In
the FAQ list I received when I subscribed there was some discussion that
the RCA album was released without Barry Gray's consent. In fact, maybe
someone knows if Vic Elms, the music associate, composed it and not
Barry.
Again, I'm not trying to make a wild claim (we had one of those recently)
and I realize it's going to be difficult for me to verity my statement.
I'm also NOT trying to drag this list into the gutter but it is devoted
to our show and I thought I would share this.

Hi Richard,
The 44" Eagle that everone is talking about is the studio models used
on the show. When the model maker made them, they used bits and pieces from
various places (kit bashed). Now, after 20 years, those of us who are
building 44" Eagles, and want to be acurate, are looking for the kits they
used to bash. There is no 44" Eagle kit (yet). They also made 22" Eagles,
11" Eagles, and a few 5.5" ones as well. There are no kits of these either
(yet). With the exception of the 11", wich is actualy 12". Thats the
FunDimensions kit, which needs lots of work to make it look anything like a
good Eagle kit. See Fine Scale Modeler, November 1996/ ICD 08285,
"Space:1999" - Detailing the Eagle.
The 1/24 and 1/48 scale Gemini kits supply alot of the little itty
bitty detail parts. And this detail is different on each and every model.
So, building an acurate version requires knowing what studio Eagle you are

Hope that helps you out.

From very interesting stuff. And some very funny stuff as well. I liked
this part of the tape more than the actual "Into Infinitey...". Which, BTW,
is realy bad. Talk about wooden acting...

Subject: Space1999: DISCO PORNO MUSIC?
wait a minute, i thought the ENTIRE season 2 soundtrack was the source for
all the 70's disco porno music out there.
although you're right about that track on the album. i have a feeling it
wan't even composed by the show, but something whipped up by vic elms. it
belongs in season 2 AND in 70's porno!

Yes, Derek Wadsworth has exclusive rights to the creation of all Space

I'd like to know if there are any other kits which are known to have
been used to kit bash the 44" Eagles. It seems to be well known that
the 1/24 scale Gemini kit was used, but has anyone identified any other
kits which supplied parts to the Eagle? Also, how many 1/24 scale Gemini
kits would you need as parts for a 44" Eagle?
