| - An exotic yet attractive female alien, tending to look exactly like an attractive female human except for odd coloring and a couple minor features added. Named for ye olde originale Green-Skinned Space Babe Vina, played by the late actress and director Susan Oliver, all the way back in "The Cage", the first Star Trek pilot. Well, the green Orion slave girl was one of the guises that her character took, at least. Interestingly enough, it was the one Pike was almost certainly going to fall for, before stuff happened.

A Weird Science staple, usually coming from a Sensuous Culture. See also Boldly Coming. May overlap with Cute Monster Girl. This trope is part of a larger Double Standard when it comes to science fiction: male aliens can be any shape or form, and very often are to show exactly how "alien" our extraterrestrial friends are, whereas female aliens (barring comedic exceptions) have to be humanoid enough to be attractive to male audiences. Thus you'll see alien women with plenty of Non-Mammal Mammaries. To further accentuate the Fan Service, they also tend to wear Stripperiffic clothing, often justified by saying that in their native culture it's as ordinary as shirts and pants (or dresses) are for us. Despite the name, blue seems to be a more prominent color nowadays (presumably due to Little Green Men becoming a Dead Horse Trope). Warning: There may be some disagreements as to who will carry any children resulting from the union. Examples of Green-Skinned Space Babe include:
