		Theiss was a very private man. In researching this piece, very little information could be found on him or his work, a fact he readily admitted: “I don’t give a lot of interviews.” Nonetheless, in 1988 he went out of his way to talk about himself and his work for this never-before-published article.
		While the traditionally exposed areas are certainly not unattractive, the Theiss signature is to uncover seemingly sexless areas, be it on male or female flesh.
		Theiss emphasizes that he wants the wearers of his creations to be at ease with what he designs.

		"Sometimes a show will call for 30 or 40 costumes," Theiss says, "And since we film back to back, that means I have to design, get approval from the producers and director, and construct the costumes in six to eight days."
		It was meant to be revealing and exploitative, and that is exactly how it made Frakes feel – revealed and exploited.

		Granted, it is no easy job to go back before the fact, but it has been done (Lillian Hellman: ANOTHER PART OF THE FOREST) and might have fared better had not Burns fallen back to his TV antecedents ("The Munsters") and plotted this film like a rank amateur.

		The stereotypical story is that Bill would bring in an actress in one of his designs to show Gene and Gene would send him away with the goal of showing even more skin.
		Gene set the direction but Bill Theiss would figure out clever ways to achieve it while still designing a costume that would work for the chosen actress -- all on a very tight time schedule!
		I remember 35 years ago as a very niave young man reading some of this in The Making of Star Trek and wondering what Bill Theiss meant talking about designing women's outfits to accomodate their different breast types (firm, soft, drooping, tiny, etc.).
