[net.startrek] Belly buttons

dkl@usl.UUCP (Dwayne K. Lanclos) (08/21/85)

I was watching "The Way to Eden" just the other night, and noticed that
Chekov's old girlfriend (Irena) was wearing an outfit that displayed her
belly button.  I was familiar with the story about how the clothes
designer was not allowed to show navels on TV at that time and how he
had to go out of his way to hide them while still making the women's
costumes sexy.

Are there any other Star Trek programs which display women's navels?  
If so, they would probably be in the third season.  (Still, note the
upwards flap covering Lee Meriwether's navel in "That Which Survives",
a third-season show.)

By the way, a believe the censors were right.  Chekov's girlfriend did
look quite sexy, navel and all. :-)
