From my above link:

Jacques Griffe sees in the crystal ball an evening costume including bolero, trousers of simulated barrage balloon cloth, plastic belt, and shock-absorbent suede cap. The futuristic stick-on eyebrows are jeweled.

Why would one need one's suede cap to be shock-absorbent?

Speaking of dresses and fashion, my sister just shot me an e-mail--she's trolling for my bridesmaid dress on e-bay, and found this one, which I love and told her to bid on, especially if she can get it for under $50!

I TiVo FNL and give myself at least a half-hour buffer. I watch it by myself, because I tend to flail and make a lot of incoherent noises.

Why would one need one's suede cap to be shock-absorbent?

I think it might have something to do with the thought transference.

In the Future, we will have very poor depth perception, and fragile heads.

Ah. And then the barrage-balloon trousers would be to defend one against enemy aircraft trying to sneak under the radar....

Why would one need one's suede cap to be shock-absorbent?

To avoid concusion when one trips on the balloon cloth trousers. More importantly... why would one need stick on eyebrows?

Who came closest to predicting bluetooth earpieces? Empire Strikes Back? Or was there something earlier?

I'm guessing that all of the radiation made us lose our hair or something.

Uhura had a wicked earpiece in Star Trek.

Oh, I just read this one now:

Jacques Heim thinks a popular wardrobe item in the year 2000 might be a fishnet costume treated to protect milady from atomic radiation; a full skirt would be designed to envelope the wearer completely.
