Which i personally think is a load of bollocks. Yeah, they look like women to me; the one second from the right in Cheekytiki's photo has a certain Lauren Bacall quality, but the Chinese woman (the really blue one on the far right) gives me the creeps. The one on the far left has me wondering if Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry was influenced by Tretchikoff when he made the charactor of the green Orion slave woman for the pilot in the mid-1960's: "She's like an animal...They say no human male can resist her" That sounds exotic to me, and the charactor to whom the woman was supposed to appeal was a serviceman dreaming of escapism.
