One Dress a Day Challenge
August: Fantasy & Sci-Fi
Logan's Run / Jenny Agutter as Jessica 6
Nice dress she's almost wearing...
Logan meets Jessica when he chooses her from a directory of sex partners to be teleported to his room for an evening, which explains her not-quite-there dress. Ironically, this is actually the longest dress she wears in the whole movie, as the dystopian society where they live functions entirely on miniskirts. Plus, it's the future, so everything's sparkly!
I kid, but it does work with the aesthetic of the movie. There's a good writeup of the film's overall costume design here. The costume designer was Bill Thomas, whose other credits included, of all things, Mary Poppins!

Tobias & Casey Masterlist
30-Day Challenge Masterlist
It was twelve-thirty in the morning, and Casey lay awake in her bed. The thin, white nightgown she selected when she got into bed hours ago clung uncomfortably to her body. She considered yanking it off and sleeping in nothing at all. Her husband certainly wouldn’t complain. But having a two-year-old underfoot made her think better of it, especially on a night like this when no one was going to sleep. She grimaced as a bead of sweat collected atop her chest and slowly trailed down the side of her breast, finding a new home in a crease in her armpit. She had had enough.
Tobias snickered when he returned to their pitch-black room, crawling into bed beside her naked body.
“I knew that nightgown never stood a chance,” he smirked.
She could just see the look on his face, although her eyes were shut tight. His finger trailed delicately from the top of her thigh over her swollen abdomen and nearly reached the curve of her breast when she swatted his hand away.
“Touch me again, and you die, Dr. Carrick.”
“Damn,” he laughed. “The nightgown didn’t stand a chance, and maybe I don’t either.”
“Nah, you’re safe,” Casey chuckled wearily. “After all, if I kill you, I’ll be stuck taking care of not one but two rugrats on my own.”
“Not to mention you’d be in jail.”
“I’m not going to jail, babe. My attorney will make sure I have a jury of my peers. No woman would convict me when I explain that my husband was attempting to caress my sweaty, 7-month pregnant self in a blackout during a heatwave.”
“No lie,” he shivvered. “In fact, they may resurrect me, just to sentence me to death… more painfully this time.”
“You’re spot on,” she laughed. “How is Sammy?”
“Back to sleep… for now. But I gave her more cold water to cool down, so she’s bound to be up for a potty run soon.”
“Mmmh. I’ll get her next time,” Casey offered.
“Like hell, you will. You’ll be sleeping one way or another, princess. Momma needs her rest.”
“It’s too hot to sleep. What is the temperature anyway?”
Tobias snuck a peek at his phone. “92 degrees at 2:45 AM. God, what I wouldn’t give for a Boston winter right now.”
“Me too,” Casey moaned.
“I told you I should have bought a generator. I’m getting one tomorrow.”
“But…”
“No buts! It’s bad enough that my wife and daughter can’t sleep, but now, I can’t even touch you? This is where I draw the line.”
Casey reached over and patted his head with a laugh. “I’m glad your priorities are in order, dear.”
“Always.”
He brushed her hair, stuck to her forehead with sweat, off her face.
“No, no, no… this won’t do,” he said as he shot out of bed.
“Where are you going?”
“I’ve got an idea.”
Five minutes later, he led Casey into their candlelit bathroom and helped her settle into a tub of cool water. Once she was comfortable, he slipped an inflatable pillow behind her neck.
“Now, close your eyes. I’ll watch over you so you can get some rest.”
“Mmmh,” she sighed. “This does feel nice. But why aren’t you trying to cop a feel now that I’m not sweaty, Dr. Carrick.”
“Hey, don’t tempt me there, lady,” he laughed, sticking a hand in the water and rubbing her belly. “I did this to you twice, and I’m not afraid to do it to you again.”
“You can’t get me pregnant while I’m pregnant, Tobias!” She laughed. “I think the heat’s gotten to you, too!”
With that, they heard a loud hum, and the bathroom light flickered back on.
“Oh, praise God and all things holy, we have power!” Tobias yelled. “With any luck, the house will be cooled off in an hour, then maybe we’ll all get some sleep.”
It was two-thirty in the morning. Casey, wearing her favorite blue pajamas, was fast asleep with little Samantha clinging to her side. Tobias moved Sammy’s teddy bear to the side and turned off the light, smiling brightly as he slipped under the sheets with his girls. He was going to be tired tomorrow, that he knew for sure, but he would still be a very happy man. Especially after the generator he just ordered was delivered.
