Barbarella

As I was looking through the 1968 vogue magazine for vintage dresses I spotted this add for the movie Barbarella with Jane Fonda and just had to include it for a pre-Halloween spot. Whenever I think of campy, sexy, sci-fi, costumes, Barbarella always comes to mind, and I haven't seen the movie since the 70s.

My favorite cult female sci-fi movie is Tank Girl. If you like strong, campy, funny female leads be sure to check it out.

Okay her costumes are a bit on the grunge side, but fashion is fashion, some high, some sexy, casual, boho and grunge.

  1. Last summer I went to the Sci-Fi museum in Seattle. They had one of the costumes that Anne Francis wore in Forbidden Planet... smallest waist line I've ever seen!
