After spending a decent amount of time seriously considering the effects of clothes and culture and the human person and so on, and how there might truly be more to consider than simple modesty, my barely beginning thoughts have once again become jaded as I came across this article tonight: Space Inspires Fashion Show. Because, honestly, we don't need any more money put toward actually exploring or getting into space.. what's the point of being up there if we can't wear fashionable clothes while doing it?
I've been dreaming about going into space since I was five, but I think I'll have to pass it up if they don't have my new designer outfit ready for me when I get the chance.
...Sorry, sarcasm over now. I'm willing to accept that worrying about wearing nice looking clothes has its place, if only because of the impression we leave with other people depending partially on how they physically see us, including what we wear. But to my current knowledge (this article excluded), no one expects a space suit to look like anything more than a space suit. Once we're living up there, sure, give us options. But is this really a necessary effort and use of money and time right now?

Come on, I mean, like, unless they think of new colors for EVA suits, we'll have to wear white after labor day up there. Where are the pink Gaultier space suits? The Tommy Hilfiger oxygen tank covers? Louis Vuitton envirogloves? The possibilities are endless.
Fashion Rules! *cheesy anime pose*
Personally, I'm holding out for light-up heels on the boots.
