1960s Space Age Bachelor Pad-Inspired Decor (Pics included)

I'm posting this because I inadvertently hijacked someone else's thread. I figured it was better to just repost my idea here rather than have people keep responding to me in the other one.

Anyway, I'm in love with everything 1960s and am so thrilled with the Atomic Age-inspired decor that came with the Bowling Pack. Another 1960s-era style that I love is so-called Space Age/Googie, which was kind of an offshoot of Atomic Age. A major designer of Space Age was Eero Saarinen. Here are some examples:

Love it

It matches really well with the bowling pack! Have some alien-type bowling bars and restaurants that only serve the alien foods etc

Maybe they could expand it to add one or two CAS stuff for aliens as well, like fleshy braided hairstyles and an antenna or two. Aliens don't have enough stuff, and this style would complement them quite well! Of course, it wouldn't be a dedicated "Alien SP" because that would cause riots in the streets, and I like this style way more than an alien theme, but it would be a very nice bonus for people with Get to Work

My Aliens super need this. What about gameplay objects? Like a hoverboard (that children can also use). Or a robot and robot-building. A 3D printer. OR A JETPACK.

I supposed this pack would be perfect for people who like to play aliens to build venues and such. But the theme I am pitching is really about Space Age decor that was popular in the 1960s and can be seen in movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

So for me personally, CAS would be mod-inspired, and objects either tech items (TV, radio) modeled after classic retro stuff like the Predicta TV or decorative items like toy ray guns, model space rockets, etc.
