Who is the FIRST girl you saw when you were young and said..." WOW...I want to be her"...maybe she was the first girl to make you tingle...but WHO is that girl when you were a kid that really inspired you in some way?
For me it was Oliva Newton John in that end scene of Grease ..when she went all bad a$$ ....those pants just did it for me...I own them now LOL.....
This is going back a long way...so way back in the early '90s maybe it was Nickelodeon...one of those cable channels used to air re runs of the Brady Bunch. When I was like 8 or 9 I used to watch it...and fell in love with Marcia. I both crushed on her and wanted to wear her outfits too. She really blossomed into a beautiful woman as she got older...and was almost always wearing a short dress / skirt, hose and heels. As I grew older, I really had a thing for Kylie Minogue for awhile. Later 90s she had a couple of comeback hits...JLo was getting big, along with the spice girls. I remember thinking how fine they all were...and loving their styles too. Of course my 17 year old self never let on about all that

Sears catalogue! Thanks for the memories!
Oneof my flatmates from years ago and her group of friends.
They dressed me and took me "out".
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
The first girl to inspire me was Karen from the Mickey Mouse Club. I loved how everyone looked out for her and the way she wore her clothes.
I know at about age 4 I wanted to be like Mom, not Dad. So I think she was my first inspiration. Later, Kim Novak in Vertigo.
T-shirt says: "Hi, I Crossdress!"
Around the age of 6-7, I discovered Catherine Bach a.k.a. Daisy Duke. I was so taken by her beauty, but also was so fascinated with the heels and the cloths she wore. Then around the age of 8 I discovered Boy George. Even though not a woman, he/she left a major impression on me.
Barbi Benton was the one for me.

Ann Wilson from Heart. Even as a little boy, I adored her. A few years later, Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in Alien.

For me, it was Catherine Zeta Jones when I first saw her in the "Mask of Zorro." She was gorgeous, smart, sassy, and an excellent sword fighter. Plus her hair was AMAZING.
When Zorro slashed her clothes off, I thought "I'll take 'em if you don't need them anymore!".
Hi,
im not sure about inspire though there was a young girl by name of Valery , who i looked at one day at our Church morning meeting and thought i was not like her, age i was about 10 -11 in 1958-9
i wondered she had long hair quite tall , and yes she was quite a nice Lass, , well that was the only time 5 min,s worth that i thought about who wore clothes that were a bit different from what i had to wear,
Of cause what i knew then was that i was female just could not grow as one strange yes maybe idont know any way i could not say any thing it would have been the end for me had i , some time,s we have to keep quiet just to remain alive,
...noeleena...
I like Olivia, in fact I've been practicing some if her songs to perform. Who really inspired me though was Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. That's the gal I wanted to emulate. Beautiful but tough as nails.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
It would with out any doubt be my mom and sisters.
I think the first one probably would have been Nancy Sinatra. That long platinum blonde hair, those white go-go boots, those long legs, well you get the picture. As I went on I would have to say my aunt. She always supported me and taught me about femininity, being a woman and most importantly being a good person.
Some ask why? Some ask why not? I ask "Does this pump come in a 9 1/2?"
Too many too remember... but I can go along with ONJ (what is it about good girls gone bad...?) but if I must choose only a few...
Jane Fonda in Barbarella

And the ladies of SHADO (from the TV series 'UFO' who took a lot of fashion cues from Barbarella, I feel..) - here's Lt. Gay Ellis getting as close to soft porn as you could get on prime time TV in 1971...
Just blank out the purple hair...

off to ebay! heehee!
As much as I feared her, it was my older sister. She was the ace student (straight A's all the way through), the best athlete (and always the tallest person in her class until high school), admired by most and feared by the rest. Everything always seemed to come so easy for her. Now that I'm older I know differently but that's how it seemed to a young child.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
Audrey Hepburn.
She was so elegant and classy
Wow, there are so many. I think it is really all of the girls I knew in middle and high school ... deep down I wanted to just be like them (one of their girl friends?). If I had a movie model, I guess it would be Jane Fonda. She always wore such wonderful, comfortable looking clothes (well, Barbarella aside...) and was into woman empowerment. And then those exercise videos ... always wondered if they would work for me ....

The Spice Girls !! I remember wanting to be Ginger for Halloween. With the Union Jack dress and red thigh high boots
Its more recent times for me. I would say I would love to be like Julia Roberts but have the looks of Angelia Jolie ( that would take a lot of surgery). I like Julia Roberts honesty in Notting Hill. To me to be perfect would be I would be like Julia and the person I am with cute like Hugh Grant
So many, but I'll have to say Raquel Welch. She still inspires me today with her beauty and style.
