...such scruples for Christina Paolozzi Bellin, who made a great Doll Tearsheet in black and white crepe with a diaphanous midriff designed by John Kloss. She kept wishing she were nuder.

In its most exotic form, the mesh suit makes its owner look like a mermaid who could not-or did not want to-wriggle out of someone's fishnet.

...help him walk around in space. The device weighs 7½ lbs., has two small cylinders of compressed oxygen belted to a handle that also acts as a trigger to send jets of air through two hollow tubes, each 2 ft. long. Holding the contraption just below his midriff White could, in his weightless state, manipulate it so as to send him, like a bit of fluff in the wind, in any direction he desired...
