S-ko's dress is a little tribute to Pamela Hensley's role of Draconian princess Ardala in "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" which I remember as one of the first sci-fi shows with strong female characters (as well as loads of "service" since most of the actresses were actually models) and I think its first season had a strong and lasting influence on my artistic development. There was just something about the production design that appealed to my sense of aesthetics.
