Sci-fi/retrofuture theme: Ad for Ebony magazine featuring Nichelle Nichols

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

A repost, but I've been dying for an excuse to post this one again. Unlike many of her Trek coworkers, it doesn't appear that Ms. Nichols endorsed many products, if any, so finding her in an ad seems to be a rarity. Be sure to look under the cut to see how the cover turned out. It's less grainy and in color! 









The ad is from the 1966 issue of Jet.

Okay, let's get the geek discussion going here. I cannot recall a TOS episode in which we actually see Uhura in the Jefferies tubes, but my memory is far from alpha (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Portal:Main)! (ha ha ha--sorry). Anyway, can anyone confirm whether there was a basis for this shot other than it being a great way to accentuate her attributes?

I agree with you. I'm almost positive she was never in one.

<3 her!

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

Me too! She's awesome! :)

I follow her on twitter, she's awesome.

Also, semi-relevant:

There is no occasion on which that picture is not completely relevant.

Right? It's so much awesome in one picture that I don't hardly know what to do. :D

[meleth.livejournal.com]

Quiet adulation seems like a reasonable response.

I've seen that pic. She still looks amazing! I knew she had a Twitter feed because I remember reading about it on Takei's Facebook page, which I no longer follow only because it was such a time killer. I still look at it now and then, though.

Also, I WANT THAT NECKLACE! Not the beaded one, the other one. Okay, the beaded one, too.

They're expressions both say: OMG, do you know who I am *standing* next to????

Which is how you know it's going to be a great party.

She's got the whole package, sure, but in that picture particularly, her eyes are gorgeous.
