      Alright Ladies let’s stretch those gray cells for a moment and consider the question ” which female figure is your ideal, who would you most like to be ?” – could be from any historical era or any part of society. To get the ball rolling my ideal would be Lucretzia Borgia the daughter of Pope Alexander VI, she used her beauty and brains to carve out a role for herself in renaissance Italy, no man was her master, quite some feat in the 15th century, the dresses were lovely too of course!

      Let’s hear those choices – you’ve got thousands of years to pick from!

      I certainly agree with the dresses in that era Diana but didnt know about Lucretzia. I would love to be one of the ladies in the court of King Louie XVI in a long gown and an elegant big hairdo while trying to breathe in a tight corset.It would be more exciting doing it as a tg too

        She was an incredible woman Deb, I recommend the book ‘Lucrezia Borgia’ by Sarah Bradford – a great read .

    • #471195

      Well, I’m not a fan of her dress sense, but Ann Lister is near the top of my list – what a powerful lady!

      Again, no man was ever her master – or, indeed, close companion. The number of women partners she had is astonishing…

      But, more importantly, the way she managed her estates, the power she wielded, and the keenness of her mind for learning and appreciating life, questioning “normal” and fully embracing and expressing herself as a unique individual, as documented in her diaries, is a real role model to all of us.

      Love Laura

      Hi Diana, well your question really did fire up the old gray brain cells. My goodness the choices are almost too many.

      So here is a name I don’t think many of you have heard.  Eileen Kramer is an Australian dancer, artist, performer and choreographer.  And she is 106 years old and still very active (well I think she is still alive).  What a life she’s led.

      It would be so wonderful to live a physically, mentally and emotionally healthy, active life well into the 100s.  And dancing would be a wonderful way to spend my days (as well as walking my dog!!!!).  Plus getting to wear those lovely dance outfits.

      Stay safe, stay healthy, All the Best, Hugs, Krista.

      Hmmm, such a difficult choice to make.From the recent pass either Grace Kelly or Sophia Loren. More recent Julia Roberts or Scarlett Johansen.

      I just adored the cute outfits she wore in the early to mid 60’s, lovely skirt suits that were just so Pretty as well as gorgeous evening gowns. I can only imagine the Pretty Pastel Lingerie she was wearing and wished that were me.

      Hi Diana I would like the original diva Maria Callas supremely talented and a proper madam.

    • #471430

      Julie Andrews, of course everyone knows her for “Sound of Music ” and “Mary Poppins”. Her singing is beautiful and she is a good actress. But have you seen any of her lesser movies? She has a slightly naughty side, definitely not Disney! “Victor/Victoria”, a girl that dresses as a man dressing as a woman, and a small role in “10” that gets naughty at the end.

      She is girl next door lovely, sweet, charming and, as mentioned above, a little naughty.

      Diana,

      Great question!  My pick would be Norah O’Donnell.  Love her!  I watch CBS news just to see her outfit and heels.  And make up!  If only I could get my eye shadow to look half as good!

    • #471536

      I love this! Winnie is very shallow and superficial. Really just wants to wear pretty clothes and have fun with very little responsibility, so that rules out Eleanor Roosevelt.

      I’ve always wanted to be Mary Tyler Moore as Laura Petrie or Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, but those are fictional characters and we are sticking to real people.

      Grace Kelly got to wear fantastic clothes, make movies with Alfred Hitchcock and became a real life princess, so that is hard to beat!

      Diana Rigg was a Bond Girl and was Mrs. Peele in the Avengers in the swinging ‘60’s. (Emma Peele = man appeal!) It would be great to be her.

      I’m going to land on Bettie Page in the 1950’s. She got to model all of those fantastic lingerie and bondage outfits- many of which she designed herself! She was also a favorite of a young Hugh Hefner which I think influenced the look of the girls in his pictorials- very inspirational for generations of young men. A fantasy girl in my book!

      Ask me tomorrow and I’ll probably go with Grace Kelly- it is so hard to choose just one!

      Darling Diana…

      How, in God’s name, are we to choose from amongst the millions of great women! An impossible choice! So, I shall use Occam’s Razor!

      A list then…

      #1 My mother! She was unfailingly kind, loving, chic, but also a practical minded woman who could do anything a man could.
      #2 My lovely Grandmother! A woman who, in her life, accomplished many feats of adventure and brought up a wonderful family.

      #3 Ruth Bader Ginsberg an astonishing woman who could defeat the entire male dominated Supreme Court and every politician who tried to tear her down!
      #4 Michelle Obama… all class!
      #5 Catherine Deneuve and a whole raft of beautiful, elegant French women who have captivated generations of young (an old) men

      And all the rest of the actresses, scientists, writers, intellectuals ad Infinitum

      I’ve actually thought for a while that I actively ‘look up’ to both Amanda Holden and Holly Willoughby are absolutely fantastic.

      Irrespective of whether you like them as people or not (I like both of them though!) they pull off every sort of looking good in my eyes and provide me with something to aspire to.

      The full list is, of course, pretty long as there are many icons to draw inspiration from.

      Patty Phose

      That’s easy. Daisy Duke. When I first saw her, knew I had to look like her and be her. I bought some short shorts, platfrom wedge heels and a wig. I would put n my pantyhose, short shorts and bra. Then put on a shirt and long pants. I would go out to my car and drive a few blocks from the house to a desolate location. I would get my platform heels and wig out of the trunk. I had some old pantyhose AI would stuff in my bra to give me breasts, Then I would slide off my long pants, put on my platform wedges and out on my wig. I was dressed like Daisy. I felt so good.

      I would drive around some, then eventually got the nerve to get out of the car and walk around. It was very scary but extremely exciting. Then I got this fantasy to buy pantyhose dressed in my Daisy attire. That took considerably more nerve. I would walk to to a store entrance many times but fear kick in and I walked away.

      Finally after so many failed attempts I did it. I walked up to the store. The doors opened. I hesitated briefly but I walked inside. WOW! I was doing it. I walked over to the pantyhose. I picked out several pairs in my size, walked up to the register and go in line. I was very nervous and very excited. I was listening for remarks or comments. I heard nothing. When my turn came, I paid for my pantyhose and left the store. What an incredible thrill and rush. I was dressed as my fantasy girl and buying pantyhose.

      Needless to say, I repeated that experience many times.

          I was 17 and having all these crazy dreams and fantasies. Daisy was one of my fantasies.To be Daisy and do things while Daisy had my mind wandering. Of course Daisy would need pantyhose. Building up the nerve to do that took a lot of time. It was incredibly scary but amazingly exciting.

      For someone famous, Jennifer Aniston or Scarlett Johansson. I don’t know what they are like in person but they are exquisitely beautiful any time I see them.

      I love the look and style of Shaina Twain, Jennifer Aniston is so beautiful.  I admire both of them. I want to fit into Shaina’s pants the high waisted blue jeans are making a comeback. If I only had hips.  I also like Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. No fashion since at all and he looks like an 80 year old woman but he is good with it. I love that confidence.
