For me it was Loni Anderson at Jennifer Marlowe. I so wanted to have her WKRP wardrobe.

If I was having to pick I would go with Sally Geeson from the British series Bless this House. There was just something about her I could not forget.

It was never one and specific "girl" ~ I've always been drawn to and attracted to girls, women, femininity even as a young boy. Although I've no desire to transition to become a woman and haven't any attraction toward men. (I've always thought it might even be easier for me if I WERE bisexual or gay? Trouble is? I'm not? Just doesn't compute, what ANYONE sees in men? ) I like men, as individuals, as friends, as human beings, but its just a no-go when it comes to connecting to them on any number of levels ~ mental, psychological, emotional, physical, spiritual, etc.
Sears catalogue! Thanks for the memories!
Oo! I just discovered another female influence on me.........Jessica Rabbit. Love her long red hear and hourglass figure
Nyah what's up Doc? (yeah I know that quote is from the wrong rabbit but Bugs Bunny often cross dressed)

I was 4 years old and remember this like it was yesterday. I saw Mary Martin playing Peter Pan on television. I was mesmerized (and sort of had a sexual "reaction" - only 4 years old so not sure what it was) by the sight of a girl dressed up as a boy (and to me I wanted to be him/her). I know this was in reverse from what I do now as MTF but it made a huge impact on me. I suppose I saw Peter as sort of a fem/sissy boy being a girl, although I did not think in those terms at such an early age. I just knew I liked it. A lot! I also knew it was my first secret thought because I knew even at 4 that to have a crush on a boy/girl was probably different. I have many times thought about that and why I would have questioned that attraction. I have always loved the Peter Pan syndrome of a boy who never has to grow up (or old) but the root of what I remember was a gender role reversal and it was a moment in time I have never forgotten. I always was looking to do that and with 3 sisters, I had a lot of femme influences. In my heart, I believe i am part girl but not enough to transistion. I live it out in my CD world. I never want to lose that part of me.

Raquel Welch! I wanted to be her in a bad way!
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Eliza Dushku from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Britney Spears, and I'm a pro wrestling girl, so I keep an eye on the Divas
OH and my best friend who has visually and informatively been a huge part of my fashion.
Judy Garland's Dorothy Gale, the ultimate manifestation of my shoe fetishism and sexy costume...which influences me to this day. Hell, Diana Ross's Dorothy as well, but never dug the afro.
Friends (I've normally had mostly female friends), and A LOT of characters, but rarely the actresses themselves until much later.
Since I grew up a lot in the 90's, Buffy, and Spice girls definitely hit my list. Even younger there were a few cartoons that would make it too. Hard for me to know which one was first, and which one came up after it was triggered. I watched a lot of the shows simultaneously and with reruns sooo yeah.
Mom then Annette Funicello
I can't really remember, but I think my first female role model was probably Nancy Blacket - a fictional character in a book called Swallows and Amazons.
Her male counterpart was called John... but it was always Nancy that I identified with!
My favorite ladies,whom I would love to dress like,are the Fox news anchors?Their skirts get shorter every year&they wear
gorgeous clothing&pantyhose&heels
I keep coming back to Marilyn Monroe, and once I had been made over as she...well all I can say is "Some like it hot" and so do I!
Over the years their has been many women that have inspired me, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Bridgette Bardot, and many more beautiful women. But the first one has to be my big sister, after all I was six, and she was 13, and had all the things I coveted.
And over the next 9 years, as she got older, it just got better. She belonged to an order of the eastern stars called Rainbow girls, they had regular affairs that called for formal dresses to be worn, and she had a great collection of them, mom sewed, and made her a new formal, on a regular basses.
The hoop shirts, the slips that went with it, I loved the days I got to stay home from school alone, Sis's clothes, her doll collection, her makeup table, these where the fantasy's of my youth.
Besides she was a much nicer roll model, than my older brother was, he was a bit of a bully, while she was a protector, and always stood up for me.
Magic is the art of changing consciousness at will.
Marilyn excited me first. I believe the movie was "Niagra".
"You're the only one to see the changes you take yourself through", Stevie Wonder
Nigella Lawson all the way I love her style, sophistication and confidence.
Madonna as best as I can remember. Really liked the Fredericks of Hollywood catalog when I was young as well, mom got it in the mail.
These answers do date us but I'll say it anyway. Theresa Brewer, Edie Gorme, Connie Francis and all the girl singers who were on the old TV variety shows in their taffeta and chiffon dresses loaded with petticoats.
From the late 70's and early 80's, a young Stevie Nicks, dripping in chiffon and lace. And the voice then too.

Who is the FIRST girl you saw when you were young and said..." WOW...I want to be her"...?
The first fully and definite occasion was a female teacher I got when I was 13 years old, a long time ago. She had shoulder long blond hair, always happy and smiley, a beautiful feminine voice, curvy where it counts but not vary tall (yet at that age she was taller than me and my classmates), good looking –as in the best looking woman in the neighborhood- but not model like. Probably in her 30's. Albeit on a teacher’s limited income, she always dressed somewhat sophisticated (her husband, she told us, was perhaps not rich, but well-off), often in a navy blue or black pencil skirt (and sometimes in a pair of navy blue knee length skirt-tousers), a light blue or crisp white short- or long-sleeved blouse, tan hose and dark blue or black leather heels. Often she wore a beige trench-coat and changed among various silky and colorful scarves, and during wintertime she wore a long thick (and expensive looking) grey fox fur coat. She was something between an elegant female business executive, a hot looking secretary, and the neighbor woman next door.
As a new teenager at that time, it was hard to focus on the subject she was teaching, when I would like to wear what she was wearing. But I made it through the school in the end.
However, a few years earlier, I must have been 7 or 8, in my first years of the school, I had another female teacher, a slim brunette also in her 30's. I remember her having this long and quite slim light-brown leather coat with red/brown-fox fur trims. Our teacher mostly left it hanging outside our class-room, even during the lunch-breaks when she was away. Once, the girls in my class borrowed her leather coat and took it for a spin out on the schoolyard, prancing around in the far too long coat, over a full lunch break, to the other kids’ amusement. The girls were, of course, berated for “borrowing” her coat, as she found out, but I was totally mesmerized by this, wishing it had been me walking around, wearing the leather coat, on the school yard for everyone to see. Some other day later, 7 or 8 years old as I was and not knowing better, with the coat hanging just outside the classroom, I slipped it on when my friends were away. For a moment, as I walked around with this coat on, I was in heaven.
Those are the “firsts” according to the question, but not firsts in the sense that I wanted to wear, or tried on, a girl's/woman's clothing. And, certainly not the lasts.
