miscellaneous musings
jwhouk:
I remember seeing (not in person) Crippen and Young take Columbia up for its first flight.
I vaguely remember Apollo 17, but mostly remember Apollo/Soyuz and Skylab.
The last time any sort of "splashdown" occurred of a NASA-launched vehicle was 24 July 1975, when Apollo/Soyuz Test Project landed in the Pacific.
I was actually a bit giddy about this whole thing when I got up this morning.

As much as Mana claimed to have invented the whole "gothic lolita" thing, I'm pretty sure that Strawberry Switchblade did it first.
Method of Madness:
Are those people?

I honestly don't think there's a traceable origin point for Gothic Lolita. Somewhere deep in Shinjuku ward, or perhaps Harajuku itself.

Mana is/was a Japanese musician and clothing designer, who coined the term. Strawberry Switchblade was a Scottish musical duo in the '80s. The latter came first, and generally went for the frilly monochrome dresses, hair ribbons and gawth makeup. The former made it a bit more formalised, as in the looking "cute" instead of "sexy".

See above, I think SS did it first, and they were out of Scotland. Edit: They were also a lot bigger in Japan than they were back home, so they may have had more of an influence there.
