Previously in our report Japanese astronaut with ‘a sense of grace’, the 3Yen speculated on glamorous Naoko Yamazaki, Japan’s astronaut now on the International Space Station (ISS) wearing an outfit was made by Japanese fashion designer Jun Ashida (see left). It was a bit odd that they would make her wear shorts when she’s going to be bumping her knees all the time in weightlessness—At least the matching tight cardigan with deep decolletage would not be a hinderance to a Japanese lady.

It turns out my worries were well founded. As you see on the right, JAXA, Japan’s NASA dressed astronaut Yamazaki in a fabulous “smoke-colored” pantyhose paired with her designer hot pants while she is shown floating weightless in some sort of space washing machine (or hatch ;-).

…Update…
Besides wearing hotpants in space, Astronaut Yamazaki also has to wear a kimono.

This reminds me of the time that Roy Orbison in Clingfilm and I were piloting our magnificent rocket ship powering through space.
