I've been watching a lot of old clips lately-those were NO skirts, those were long blouses! And I say as someone who's been known to favour a micromini occasionally. I've seen the clip from the mirror universe where Nichelle is walking around half-naked, and... O.o
Also, I've been reading up on the details of that first interracial kiss, and according to Roddenberry, the kiss was originally written as Spock/Uhura, and apparently Shatner jumped in all "If anyone gets to kiss Nichelle, I mean Uhura, it'll be ME". This both amuses me and confirms my view of Shatner as a bit of a sleaze.
