Did her courage, empathy or values Inspire you?
Let’s hear your choices girls.

Especially during the ROTJ sarlaac pit scene. Also loved Erin Cahill as the Time Force pink ranger (love me some Power Rangers to).

Yes Carrie was a highlight of that particular scene all right.

She was a highlight of the whole movie. Always thought she was pretty. Funny story about the production, she didn’t wear a bra throughout the filming of the original trilogy outside of the Jabba scenes, only gaffers tape.

A different and rather fun topic… thanks!
I have to say my choices are a little different
Catherine Deneuve: a very beautiful and chic actress with that ‘Je ne sais quoi’. My one and only pin up!
Sylvie Vartan: la Jolie Pupeé… charming Lolita like singer and model in the 60s.
Charlotte Rampling: sex on wheels, sensual in an era of prettiness… The night Porter! Hou lah!
Sarah Miles… those big, gorgeous eyes!Back to more modern times… only two
Kate Blanchett and Tilda Swindon; both remarkable for their chameleon qualities and for their breathtaking beauty!Please understand that I cannot model myself on any of these extraordinary women… though, in my heart of hearts, I would dearly love to!
Poor Polly… ohh, La Pauvre Petite Polly! 😭💋💋💋

That tall, gangly, big hearted darling waiting for someone to rescue her from the life she was having. A free, fun loving spirit that I just fell in love with and could identify with…. just the sincerity of her heart. My number 1 romcom…. the number 1 romcom. Going back farther….. Maureen O’Hara, specifically from the old movie The Quiet Man with John Wayne. She was just, oh, such a archetypical female. 😍

No one else did mention Klinger so I felt i needed
– Klinger who tried so hard to be declared mentally ill but the military did not consider crossdressing a mental sickness despite that at the time many countries did.
– Klinger who did dress in skirt/dress and heels every day no matter what other people did think about it
– Klinger who did design and sew his own clothes
– Klinger who didn’t try to be a woman, he was just a man in womens clothesI may not try to get out of the military or so and it’s not that I like all aspect of Klinger but I do like some aspects.

I’ve always wondered where he got the wherewithal to run up his creations given they were a mobile surgical unit operating not far behind the lines in Korea in the early ’50s. Or am I overthinking things.

Hiya all
Very interesting question. For me definently Marilyn Monroe, without a single doubt.
We both have shared a lovely sense of humour.
We both enjoy the skirt scene and simply find experiencing it myself to be such an unforgettable experience.
In fact just recently I have bought a Marilyn Monroe white satin halter dress and matching underwear…simply delectable and purely sensual and devine.
All the very best

I was going to say Margaret Thatcher, I admire the Iron Lady but she wasn’t a movie star and I wasn’t sure if she was one of us …. just kidding :-). Just imagine if that was true, none of us would need to be in the closet!

Hi Diana for me it has to be Tim curry from the rocky horror show, so powerful and sexy and film was amazing to have a lead character who cross dresses is amazing and still is to this day,not to poke fun at but to admire and from an early age I went to live shows. I’m a man who likes to wear womens clothes and I’ve only been able to express myself at fetish clubs I don’t feel as I fit in as I I’m not trying to come across as a lady. Although I admire greatly people that do. I have a mohican and like wearing make up but only once been out in public in a dress in London. I live in Wells Somerset.. So I’m lonely as I don’t know anyone else like me.

Registered On: February 28, 2017Topics: 3Replies: 50Has thanked: 238 timesBeen thanked: 291 timesSo many influences from many different eras influenced me, or made me dream to want to be. There is no way I could narrow it down to one or two, so I’ll break it down by decades.
1960s: Mary Tyler Moore(Laura Petrie), Elizabeth Montgomery(Samantha Stevens), Honor Blackman(Pussy Galore).
1970s: Dorothy Hamill(figure skater), Chris Evert(tennis)Jane Pauley(newscaster), Jane Seymour(Miss Solitaire), Olivia Newton-John(singer).
1980s: Delta Burke(Suzanne Sugarbaker), Jane Fonda(actress).
1990s: Sandra Bullock(actress), Shania Twain(singer)
2000s: Amy Adams(actress).
These are just some of the many women I’ve admired, wanted to be, or just wanted to share their wardrobes. It also says I’m starting to get a little long in the tooth…sigh.

Oh my, there are so many !
I can start naming them all and still not be done when the cows come home :
Alexandra Daddario from Baywatch/San Andreas
Melissa Benoist from Supergirl. As Kara, she wears incredibly professional office outfits when working for Catco.
Gal Gadot/Lynda Carter. When both were just as Diana, they wore stunning outfits.
But the one that truly sticks out for me is Janet Wood (Joyce DeWitt) from Three’s Company. When Janet started to change her hairstyle from frumpy curls to the pseudo bob/mullet style, her clothing style changed as well. She went from uber frumpy to gorgeous sexy office style clothes – pencil skirts, nice blouses, pantyhose, heels, … I just loved it when I was growing up. That style influenced my wardrobe today, which is predominantly pencil skirts, blouses, and blazers (ok Janet didn’t wear blazers back then).

Registered On: February 5, 2019Topics: 16Replies: 222Has thanked: 864 timesBeen thanked: 895 timesHi Diana,
Dredging back to my earlier memories (not so easy these days), I remember Honor Blackman playing Cathy Gale in “The Avengers” on black and white TV.
It didn’t hurt that she was more often than not clad in leather – how did that get by the rather staid british censors of the early ’60s, before the cultural explosion led by the Beatles ? You only saw things like that in p##n mags (so I’m told – lol)
But her TV role as an alluring woman with a ‘don’t mess with me’ attitude was ground breaking at the time. Not a lot of women’s lib around in those days. I was intoxicated by her depiction of womanhood.
And she must surely have had the best screen name ever when she starred in Goldfinger as Pussy Galore.

Registered On: March 26, 2020Topics: 13Replies: 1090Has thanked: 3584 timesBeen thanked: 5273 timesMy top 3 are;
3. Helen Mirren. What a strong lady, with a strong self identity – not to mention drop dead gorgeous to this day.
2. Elizabeth Hurley. Because I have a brunette side. Oozing refined sex appeal, confidence and charisma. Beautiful!
1. Barbra Streisand. I fell in love with her watching “Funny Girl”, and “A Star is Born” when much younger – about 9 or 10 – and wanted to be her. The humour, the sharp-witted comebacks, the standing up for yourself, and the inner beauty that shines out of the lovely smile. And that voice!
Can you see the resemblance?
Love Laura

Registered On: November 17, 2018Topics: 146Replies: 1951Has thanked: 3114 timesBeen thanked: 8975 timesHas to be Galadriel from the LOTR films for me. I’ve had a crush on her for nearly 20 years. She might be about 7,000 years old, but she has looked after herself – would love to know her wrinkle cream routine – her skin looks so pale, soft and flawless. I bet she uses a coconut-oil shampoo to keep those golden lock so shiny. She is super beautiful and supremely powerful, if somewhat scary too. I just love her dresses and her hair style, and the way she glides rather than walks. All the males are in complete awe of her and defer to her every time. Opposites attract – I’m nothing like her at all.
Cate Blanchett isn’t bad either.
Or Evangeline Lily, Liv Tyler and Miranda Otto as Eowyn. I do so love an anglo-saxon blonde shield maiden who is both vulnerable and yet as cold and hard as steel. And she pulled Faramir (David Wenham) – a man who “showed his quality.” Lucky girl.
And not forgetting beautiful and buxom Rosie Cotton, the barmaid in The Green Dragon. She may be only four feet tall, but she packs a lot in. She can pull me a half-pint anytime.

Good topic Diana.
For me, that would be Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby (both in Mission Impossible) and Rachel Brosnahan (Fabulous Mrs. Maisel) they portrayed women that are strong, intelligent, funny, beautiful and most of all feminine, women that I aspire to be. Also, I loved their fashion, especially Rachel in Mrs. Maisel, think 50s women’s fashion.

Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman was my hero. She is just so pure of heart and innocent, yet powerful, and of course, gorgeous. One of my fantasies is to dress as her and go to a comic con. Anyone up for Galaxy Con 2022 in Minneapolis? 😉

She was the first character that came to mind, but there is a trans/CD character in Big Sky played by Jesse James Keitel that I can really identify with. She was introduced as a sex worker, but has evolved into way more and I am captivated every time she appears on the screen.

Here are a few that come to mind. A young Ann Margret (Bye Bye Birdie, Viva Las Vegas), Diane Lane from late 1990s to 2008 (sigh), Sandra Bullock, Charlize Theron, Bridgette Bardot, Marilyn Munro (I loved her hairstyle/wig in the Misfits), Susan Sarandon in Rocky Horror Picture Show is very inspirational, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Teri Garr in Young Frankenstein, and Vera Ellen (one of the best dancers ever and a pretty cute actress). Sorry I have so many. So Diana, you didn’t mention the movie character you identify with. All the Best, Hugs, Krista.

Well Krista since you asked – Susan Foreman, Barbara Wright and Rose Tyler – all Dr Who assistants, Emma Peel (Diana Rigg), Barbara Good (Felicity Kendall), Sybil Fawlty (Prunella Scales), Lisbeth Salander & Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace), Ellen Ripley, (the inimitable Sigourney Weaver), and I couldn’t live in NZ without referencing Lord of the Rings could I – Eowyn (Miranda Otto) and Galadriel (Cate Blanchett). Oh and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke, Cersei Lannister (Lena Heady) and Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) to name but a few….sigh💕

I fell in love with Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald, and she was marvelous as Queen Victoria in the BBC series. And Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) would be a close second place.

As far a character, as a child, I literally dreamed of being Ginger in “Gilligan’s Island”. I would’ve died to have had her figure and been able to fill out those tight dresses. And the hair! Off topic but as far as an actress, something about Tina Fey that I would so love to be. My first message on the forum- love it!

I tend to identify with Irene Ryan, from “Beverly Hillbillies”; but for the Admire and Want to Be category, it’s Renee Zellweiger, whether she’s Bridget Jones or Roxie Hart (Chicago). And she’s a Texas girl, too; from just across town in Katy.

I agree. I saw an interview with Dolly where said if she were a man, she would most definitely be a drag queen. This was before there was more understanding re trans, so she may word it differently now. She is a lovely person, in all ways.
