To boldy go where no PANTS HAHAHAHA

Was talking to the late doctor_atomic just now about the new movie, and asked for her thoughts about the miniskirts. Unlike me, she noticed them right away, and found herself hoping that they were going to show unisex minis as an official Star Fleet uniform option for everyone. Apparently, these existed for the first few episodes of TNG, which depicted several pants-free male Enterprise crewmembers.

I have no memory of this, but apparently 'tis so. This cosplay dood is the only evidence I could dig up through Google Images. I could go unearth my Season 1 DVDs, I suppose, but I'll just take their word for it.

(Needless to say, the movie didn't take this tack.)

I think I've seen the 'minis' in early Next Generation episodes. I'm pretty sure that was a kind of 'official dress uniform' for meeting ambassadors and stuff. It was somewhat 'feminine-looking' although I don't think it showed nearly as much 'leg' as this picture depicts.

...mmm-yeah, I really think there are a pair of black slacks that go with that shirt.

This is quite fantastic.

I remember guys wearing miniskirts in exactly one TNG episode, but it wasn't a uniform. They were civilians wandering around the Enterprise.

I remember them as looking dumb and girly. Then again, I was seventeen.
