Who is the First Girl To Inspire You In Some Way

[Adriana Moretti]

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.....

[Renee Elise]

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 ;).

Thank you Sears Catalogue !! And then Nicolette Sheridan.

[GretchenJ]

My first crush on a TV actress as a young adult that gave me the tingle

[Anna H]

I had tons of them...

Darlene...MM club

Betty Rubble...she should have dumped that goofy Barney! LOL!

Judy Jetson...i still want her clothes

Judy...(lost in space)

Samantha Stevens! ♥ swoon!

Marilyn Munster...(and Lily too!)

I haven't stopped. I like them all! LOL

[Diane Smith]

My mom -- obviously not in an erotic sense -- but she would dress up and go out every week or two and I was astonished and fascinated by her transformation into an elegant and nice smelling creature with hair, makeup, heels, nails and a fancy dress. It was like she became an entirely different person, and I was fascinated by all the elements that went into the illusion.

Also, a girl in my 4th grade class (1965-'66 school year) named Laura Forrester. She was a pretty girl, very aloof, who wouldn't give me the time of day. But she was the first girl I ever knew who had pierced ears and wore big gold earrings all the time. I got my ears pierced the first time the summer after that school year. Now up to 47 holes all over my body ...

[Tina G]

Madona and Lita Ford

Tina

[LelaK]

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.

[Melinda75]

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.

[Bethany38]

Barbi Benton was the one for me.

[Miss Interpretation]

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!".

[noeleena]

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...

[Kate Simmons]

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.:battingeyelashes::)

[Katey888]

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 :love:

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... :devil:

off to ebay! heehee!

[cdrachael]

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

[sometimes_miss]

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.

[GailNightshade]

Audrey Hepburn.
She was so elegant and classy

[Claire Cook]

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 ....

[stephNE]

So many, but I'll have to say Raquel Welch. She still inspires me today with her beauty and style.

[BrendaAlexandra]

In the 70's for sure it was Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady). Later it was Lynda Carter and Valerie Bertinelli.

[krissy]

For me it was a girl i met in my neighborhood we were about 9 she took me to her home her mom dressed me and we played all day what a day it was

[Lexi Moralas]

What a fun thread!
I was going to say daisy duke who was awesome ! But then I thought a little harder and I would have to say it would be a toss up between bat girl and any of the 3 cat woman from the old bat man show. They were sexy and fem and tough as hell all at the same time

[Lorileah]

the rules state:rulez: no more than 10 photos per page. If this thread starts getting over that number, it will have to be closed. In other words, if'n you don't be needin to post a photo don't be postin no photos

:thanx:

[CynthiaD]

My father was a salesman and sold calendars for a while. There was this one model I saw in his sample books who I've never forgotten. I was 8 at the time. I never knew her name.

[ArleneRaquel]

My mother in so far as eye wear and lingerie, lipstick, nails. She is where I first fell in love with cat's eye frames, and red lipstick & polish. Marilyn Monroe in How to marry a Millionaire", added to my love of that style in glasses. Raquel Welch has also been an influence, I named myself, in part, after her, and I surely love her eyewear. Arlene Francis, Arlene Dahl, Rhonda Fleming, and Maureen O' Hara also.

[Robinkay]

The Avengers a great British show !
Miss Emma Peel,Ho how i wanted to be her…..

[Wendrme]

I think the earliest female role models for me would have been the big time girl singers of the early 50's. The Rosemary Clooneys, the Doris Days, Patti Page etc. Also from the movies, June Allyson, Ann Miller, Liz Taylor. But the supreme role model for my femininity would have to be Julie Andrews. What CDer could possibly strive to be more devastatingly female than to emulate Julie Andrews?

[Sometimes Steffi]

It was this neighbor lady down the street. I developed this fantasy that she would feminize me. But, it was just a fantasy.

[Beverley Sims]

There were a few from June Allyson to Jane Fonda and Liza Minnelli to Olivia Neutron Bomb. :)

I followed a short hairstyle trend amongst girls and this was quite successful.

[trisha kobichenko]

I was five, and there was a seven year old neighbor with a broken arm in a cast. I wanted to be her....still do :)

[Giselle(Oshawa)]

at an early age I wanted to be Doris Day, late teens and early 20's Candace Bergen.
Today I am a big fan of Lisa Ling on the Oprah network and I am not of Chinese
ancestory

[Eryn]

I'll have to go with my mother.

Later in life, I did have an infatuation with Emma Peel (Diana Rigg). Something about the way she could run and do martial arts in 5" spikes just spoke to me! :)

[Brianna_H]

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

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Adriana, I guess that it would have to be my mother first and back in the 40's & the 50's how the women
would dress in their finest Sunday best the skirts, silk blouses, dresses, heels&hose and the hats with the small vale.

[alice clair]

For me it was either Barbara Eden or Linda Carter. But My all time favourite was a girl in high school Naomi Cornwell she was a little over weight and wore it very well she had a way of pulling her hair out of the back of her coat that did it for me, she had long brown hair and I was mesmerized by it.

[mariehart]

Jane Fonda is up there. Emma Peel was so cool, later Joanna Lumley. I wanted to be them. Later Sigourney Weaver, Sharon Stone, Kate Mulgrew (Capt Janeway), Katherine Turner.

Looking at that list I think I see a pattern! All sassy strong beautiful women. I guess that's what I'd like to be.

In my own life, two of my sisters and one of their friends Yvonne. Again strong and good looking.

But also one of my Mother's friends, she was pretty, friendly and outgoing always lit up a room with her personality.

Her name is Marie.

[Trisha65]

It would with out any doubt be my mom and sisters.

[Karen_Ski]

I think the first one probably would have been Nancy Sinatra. That long platinum blonde hair, those white go-go boots, those long legs :daydreaming:, 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. :)

[Mara]

For me it was definitely my mother. She worked and had a wonderful wardrobe of dresses along with a dresser full of bras, girdles, slips and stockings. She alos had a wig that was able to use. I still love the retro lingerie of the 50's/60's.

[~Joanne~]

I will say Janet and Chrissy from Three's Company. They prove weekly that hosiery can be worn with anything and it's OK to wear them around the house. Next may be Dawn wells from Gilligans Island who had the best pair of pantyhose ever made...7 years running through the bushes and not one run ;)

[Isabella Ross]

Elizabeth Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Fell in love with her. And wanted to look like her. And wanted to wear her slip. I saw the movie in the late sixties, with my parents. I was just six or seven, and I so embarrassed by the rush of emotions I had...I remember it so vividly.

230109

[Julie Denier]

^ OMG yes ... I mean, the first 20 minutes of the film is about Maggie changing her stockings ;)

[krissy_toronto]

For me, it would have to be my mother and Janet from 3's company. I used to get told all the time as a young boy how much my mother looked like her. Did my mother ever play the part (not on purpose of course). Tight jeans, heels and hose.

[ashley_addams76]

I am shocked no one had mentioned Linda Carter. She was always conservatively dressed in the military and then transformed into sexual goddess when she turned into Wonder Woman. I would also second ginger. She was always impeccably put together.

[Robyn2006]

My eldest sister, hands down inspired me. She was such a to-die-for teen glamour queen who I watched so attentively off in the corner, especially when she got all dolled up in front of our bathroom mirror. But on the large screen, it had to be Joey Heatherton. I just couldn't wrap my mind around what it must be like to be that attractive, that hot. Every fiber within me cried to be like her.

[lexivanderpump]

My 4 older sisters are my girly inspirations.

Love, Lexi

[Eringirl]

Jennifer from WKRP anyone? - aka Loni Anderson

[NANNETTE]

There were so many singers and actresses that I wanted to be like. My all time favourite was Brooke Shields in the early 80's. I really wanted to be like her in my early twenties. A little bit later in the late 80's I admired Kylie Minogue. Fast forward to the nineties and I wanted to look like Melissa Joan Hart in Clarissa Explains It All. These days I admire the Princess Kate Middleton. Judging by comments I have heard by other guys who wish to be female I gather I am not alone.

[adrienner99]

In fifth grade I had a teacher who wore black patent leather heels and to-die-for red lipstick. I used to listen for the sound of those stilettos coming down the hall....

[NicolaF]

Had to be Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers.
She was strong, independent and beautiful, what more could you ask for.

230158

[LeotardMan]

For me it was hands down my mother! She was always working out in sexy leotards and one day it just clicked!! She also got me into to fitness and other things :)

[ArleneRaquel]

My mother by far, as I haved started earlier. Especially her cat's eye frames, among her first eyewear of choice where black cat's eye frames, encrusted with rhinstone with large upswept ends. Very stylish, I not sure if these were her first cat's eye pair, but if I remember correctly, this was way back in 1959, she first purchased two pairs of cat's eye frames. One was for use around the house the other , more fancy was for party wear. I was fitted for male frames the same day that my mom was fitted for her first pair of glasses. We both went from no glasses to full time frames & lenses. For nearly 50 years, until her death in 2007, my mother picked mostly cat's eye stlye, even when they were not in vogue. Her ingerie style, vintage 1950's also were, IMO, were amazing & so chic. To me my mother was a fashion plate beyond belief. It is because of my mother that I count myself as "a 1950's girl." At "special events" she also wore bangles, she did so well past the age of seventy, at the age of 70 she looked a " young 50", at least to me.

[immike]

I was transfixed by looking at the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders,and I often fantasize about wearing the uniform?

[Lea]

For her fashion sense the first was my mom. I would watch Broadway musical movies. Seeing the women in the various outfits I was always envious of what they were wearing.

[darinyc]

For me...Linda Carter. Her "civilian" outfits in Wonder Woman were so cool and looked quite comfy.

These in particular made the first big impression on me:

[27th Jennifer]

Wonder Woman. And an old Tawnya Tucker album my parents had. I wanted to look like her so bad.....

Ana

[Martha G]

Martha Stewart - The Domestic Diva!

[Costume]

Jerry Hall and Madonna. I just happened to see pictures of them wearing some fantastic clothes (in Madonna's case the white ruched dress from Who's That Girl?) and thought how fabulous it must feel to wear the same things.

[Cassandra S.]

Victoria Adams from the Say You'll be There video, I wanted to look like her, plus Jennifer Lopez was also a big inspiration.

[Amanda L.]

I have always had a thing for Tina Louise (Ginger from Gilligan's Island) and Barbara Feldon (Agent 99). I loved their pouty looks and Gingers gowns. But the one who started it for me was an an unknown model I saw in an oil ad in a hot rod magazine I was reading in bed one night when I was 12 or 13. She had long blonde hair, straight cut fringe, heavy eye liner, full lips and white overalls with gorgeous cleavage. Her eyes pierced my soul and planted a seed which I acted upon the next morning after everyone in the house had left for work.. I went straight into my sisters bedroom and made myself up and completely dressed as a girl. It was an experience that I felt ashamed about but it never left me.
Luv
Amanda

[Lori Anne]

Well, I'm a child of the 70's, so for me it was Farrah Fawcett-especially in Charlie's Angels.

[abby054]

I grew up in a small, quite isolated town. Nearly all of the people within 20 miles were relatives. We had no tv. My grandmother and my aunt, only five years older than me, were my role models. My grandmother was still a teenager and quite a hot chick, with all due respect, when she caught my grandfather's eye on his trips out of state. She still showed much evidence of this even in her 50s and 60s. My aunt inherited the good looks. She was the first woman that I saw up close and in person in a bathing suit. She did a lot for that bathing suit, let me tell you, even when my age was still in the single digits. A rich cousin got my attention often with her hair, pretty dresses with short skirts, and tights. They all got me thinking about pretty clothes enough to ask my aunt why I couldn't dress like her and my female peers.

In the public media, Marlo Thomas. I liked her style. She was a smart girl who dressed well. As for outright sexy, Barbara Eden in those genie outfits ...

[CarrieFan512]

The Spice Girls !! I remember wanting to be Ginger for Halloween. With the Union Jack dress and red thigh high boots :)

[AmandaM]

In the public media, Marlo Thomas. I liked her style. She was a smart girl who dressed well. As for outright sexy, Barbara Eden in those genie outfits ...

That Girl was my first. Marcia Brady. Jaclyn Smith on Charlie's Angels.

[siantv2003]

So many but the first ones I remember were Connie Selleca; Erin Gray, Brooke Shields, ..

[NicoleScott]

As a young boy, I was sitting in the dentist chair having my teeth cleaned by a beautiful young woman with the most perfect red lips. It was up close and personal. I can't say it was a genuine sexual experience, but it was my first recollection of a "twitch" in responce to what my eyes were fixed upon.

[Sarah Beth]

It was way way back when I was in junior high. She was a grade school teacher and from the first time I saw her I thought she was the most incredable looking woma ever. I didn't know until I got to know her that I was crossdresser.

[Jocelyn Quivers]

Janet from 3's Company, closely followed by Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman), Jane Fonda and Daisy Duke. That's where I completely lay all of the blame and fault.:D They are responsible for all of this!!!!:devil:

[roxiecd]

Olivia Newton John (Grease, Those leather pants!!). Pretty much every other beautiful woman I've ever seen...

[kellyanne]

Firstly, the Sears catalogue women, as a boy I wanted their clothes and poise...
Secondly, my Grade 4 teacher whose swooshing of her skirt and slips inspired me to want and discover that beautiful sound and
thirdly Miss April, 1974.

[AdrianaCD]

Mom of course

[steffigirl37]

High school girls. I went to a catholic grammar school where everybody dressed in uniform. Very boring. Once I got to high school it became very inspiring. Girls were obviously dressing up to impress the boys and I loved it. Short skirts, dresses, heels. It definitely inspired and influenced me. I wanted to look like that.

[brittdoll]

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

[Zoe B]

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.

[Dana3]

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.

[CherylFlint]

Sears catalogue! Thanks for the memories!

[Amanda L.]

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)

[LisaTX]

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.

Lisa

[GinaD]

Raquel Welch! I wanted to be her in a bad way!

[Alexis Jade (AJ)]

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.

[Krystalina]

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.

[Badwolf]

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.

[Tammy Lynn Tx]

Mom then Annette Funicello

[abby054]

So many but the first ones I remember were Connie Selleca; Erin Gray, Brooke Shields, ..

Erin Gray! Intelligent, articulate, and gorgeous. She added a whole new dimension to a space suit in the Buck Rogers tv series! The young men in NY would paraphrase her commercials for Bloomingdale's, declaring her to be "like no other girl in the world!"

[marny]

i'm so happy someone else even knows who Joey Heatherton was! Shows our age Robyn! Great taste.
My eldest sister, hands down inspired me. She was such a to-die-for teen glamour queen who I watched so attentively off in the corner, especially when she got all dolled up in front of our bathroom mirror. But on the large screen, it had to be Joey Heatherton. I just couldn't wrap my mind around what it must be like to be that attractive, that hot. Every fiber within me cried to be like her.OOPS. just wikied Joey. She is still with us, only 70, I suspect she still is spectacular.

[Melanie B]

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!

[immike]

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:daydreaming:

Jessica Rabbit's quote from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", wonderfully delivered by Kathleen Turners' sultry voice.."I'm not bad Mr. Diamond, I'm just drawn that way"

[ophelia]

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!

[Tina B.]

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.

[Ressie]

Marilyn excited me first. I believe the movie was "Niagra".

[The Optimist]

Nigella Lawson all the way ;) I love her style, sophistication and confidence.

[carahawkwind]

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.

[Stephanie Julianna]

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.

[Kate's at home]

From the late 70's and early 80's, a young Stevie Nicks, dripping in chiffon and lace. And the voice then too.

[Bima]

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.

[LesliePinky]

not in particular, but i think pornstars hehe they look sexy and ****ty i love it

[heather ann martin]

My Aunt Cathy. I spent weekends and holidays at her house as a girl. She is the kindest person I have ever met.

[carolynmartin]

A TV station in my area has started showing "That Girl" reruns from the late sixties. It starred Marlo Thomas as Ann Marie, a single (not so) struggling actress living in Manhattan.
I watched an episode I first saw when I was ten years old and all kinds of memories came flooding back. I remember how much I loved her clothes and makeup. I wanted to be her little sister! I also remembered how hard I pretended to be uninterested in it, like a good boy.

[carolynmartin]

Although technically not girls, I also remember being fascinated by an article called "That was no lady" in the Parade (I think) Sunday magazine from the mid sixties.
It was a photo essay about actors who had done drag in movies and on TV. Some, like Cary Grant in "I was a Male War Bride", didn't interest me, but some of the "ladies"
were quite convincing. I was around seven years old and asked my mom to save it.

[Beverley Sims]

Oneof my flatmates from years ago and her group of friends.
They dressed me and took me "out".

[BillieJoEllen]

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.

One of my mom's friends. she was such lady.always dressing so femine .

[Abbygirl]

The first inspirational girl I can remember (outside of one girl in particular at my school- you know who you are, Debbie W.!!!), was Valerie Bertinelli, in "I was a Mail Order Bride (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTZ1tOlGpzg)". Both were extremely cute and probably still are!

For me it was probably Sharpay in the scene below from High School Musical I thought she looked amazing with long blonde hair, combined with the feather look dress and shiny silver heels. My girlfriend at the time loved it so I decided to watch the film and it was the first time I looked at an attractive woman and wanted to be her instead of being with her, so much so that I used to sing and dance to the film pretending to be her :o

For me it was my friend Jodi. She introduced me to all things female, she was and still is, beautiful, smart, sexy, loved how she dressed. She shaped many of my tastes for things such and lingerie, perfume, clothing, and attitudes towards sex. She continues to inspire me to this day and some of my mannerisms are based on her.

I definitely wanted to be her!

[pixitrace]

The first one was probably Mary Tyler Moore. The last one was you!

[SandraInHose]

Having had a pantyhose fetish long before I knew what a fetish was, I was mesmerized by one of my grade school teachers. Back then, the late 60's, teachers wore dresses everyday, and hosiery. But the way this one particular lady would always sit, with her nyloned legs together, one ankle crossed behind the other, just drove me mad. Actually that same pose does today, nearly 45 yrs later!

As far as TV women, Daisy Duke wasn't the first, but she's the strongest memory I have of wanting to emulate her. Same with the ladies on Dallas...spending all day in their dresses, heels, and hose.

[Annette_boy]

For me it was Annette Funicello ,she was my first big crush that I wanted to be her . I later named myself after her other than that also thanks Sears Roebuck Catalog and My mom was the picture of womanhood to me.

Hugs Annette

[Crystal Beth]

Same here Leslie! Loved the porn stars from the 1970's and early 80's. Plus Joan Collins as Alexis Carrington and all the girls in the 60's-70's B drive in films

[Carolana]

For me it was my sister. My very first time I went the full en femme and went out, I walked back into my suite and looked in the mirror and saw her rather than me. My mother is a close second, as I also sometimes see her sometimes instead of me (family resemblance, I guess). They were my first impression, influence, and female role models.

[DonnaP]

I think Mary Tyler Moore and her best friend Rhoda some how these Women were just so Feminine .

[carroll1967]

my mother was one that never looked down on me playing with her clothes.

[Leanna Jean]

As far as ladies I admired, first it was Marilyn then for me Tina Louise, Elizabeth Montgomery and Barbara Eden were role models that I looked up to. Then later came the soap opera queens today I adore many of the cable news anchors I love those leg shots.

[Charlotte Haynes]

Seeing Debbie Harry in the video for Blondie's 'Heart Of Glass' made a deep impression on me. I wanted to femulate.

[Maria 60]

This mite be a little off the wall, but for me this is going back a few years it was Janet (Joyce Dewitt) from Threes Company. I loved both actresses, but for some reason she always wore coffee coloured pantyhose and always wearing a open sandal shoe and had a small petite foot, but on one episode I seen her slip and that's when it sealed the deal. Something about her legs would drive me crazy, still till today if I see a repeat it still sparks a fire. Call me crazy.

[Glorialovesheels]

wow good question.. im going to have to say playboy & hustler magazines.. they started me down the path that lead me to a high heel fetish... but just seeing how other women dressed in real life.. but for me its all about cocktail dresses and clubware.... I use to like to window shop womens clothing shops to get ideas.... I do like to dress a little ****ty and defiantly not my age

[briana_betancourt]

Madonna was mine, too. Growing up in the 90s, my first impression of Madge was the ever-changing appearances that she had going on back then. Something about one woman constantly looking amazing with so many different looks was amazing to me.

["Gabriela"]

I think Mariah Carey was the first woman who made a big impression on my femme side.

[Diana1517]

Sincerely Bridgitte Bardot & princess Carolina of Monaco :daydreaming: :daydreaming:

[victoria76]

Although I have done this long before I had ever heard of her, Katy Perry inspires me. I am attracted to her a lot, but at the same time, want to look like her! :)

[Martina]

The first girl to inspire me was Brigette Bardot when I was in my early teen's,
Now she was a sex kitten I even had a post card of her picture.

[scarletcd]

The first Woman to really inspire me was Sigourney Weaver. I saw Alien at around the age of 6 and it kick started my love for both Cinema and of her :D

[Sarah V]

Ms. Kathy Rigby, the gymnast.

[DonnaT]

I don't remember her name, she was in my 1st grade class, and a nearby neighbor.

What inspired me was seeing her and her younger brother playing, and she had dressed him in her clothes. I so wanted to change places with him.

[ashley_addams76]

Erin Gray on Buck Rogers and Silver Spoons. Would also say Linda Carter on Wonder Woman.Just incredibly sexy women with great style and femininity.

[StephanieJ]

For me it had to be Debbie Harry from the band "Blondie". Whenever I ran around with my friends, I thought of myself kind of like her as the only girl in the group. The only thing is that no one knew it but me.238577

[Kirsty]

For me it has to be Linda Carter aka Wonder Woman, one of my earliest memories
was being at school and going behind a tree and spinning so I could change into Wonder Woman....

A) Wish that had worked

B) Wish it would work now LOL
