Japanese Astronaut Gets Designer "Space Suit"
Naoko Yamazaki knows you have to look good at work even if your work is in outer space. Japanese fashion designer Tae Ashida has created a designer suit for the female astronaut to wear during her stay on the International Space Station. "As a female designer, I chose a design and colour with a sense of grace ... so that she can feel at ease as she carries out a tough mission in a male-dominated, bleak atmosphere. It's like a dream come true to see my clothes worn in space," said Ashida. "I'm looking forward to seeing her wear my design."
No girls are going to be able to live up to the high-fashion ideals of calf length without some serious orthopedic surgical intervention.
Based off what I have picked up over the years on Japanese culture (from pr0n), I would have assumed that a spacesuit for a female Japanese astronaut would have incorporated some kind of school girl uniform motif. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed.
but making those holes is part of the fun!

Don't worry -- I hear stilts are all the rage among astronauts these days.
Fashion ... I still don't understand it.
Also popular among astronauts, Standing?
Definitely Pencilshopped. I'm certain I've seen this on PencilshopDisasters.com.
Who drew that, an anorexic Rob Liefeld?

You obviously don't watch enough anime, I bet you probably have a girlfriend too. GTFO breeder!
I'm sure designer clothes will inspire the males in the male-dominated atmosphere to take great pains to put the female at ease. Because really what keeps us male astronauts from treating you female astronauts with the dignity and respect that you _deserve_ is simply that you dress like hobos.
PS: not actually an astronaut.
