Something Lighter - Who was your cartoon role model

[Lynn Sealy]

For many of us growing up, one of the first female role models was a cartoon character. Who was yours? One of mine was Natasha Fatale.

[Elizabeth G]

I curse I really didn't have one although I'm certainly of the generation to appreciate Natasha. If I had to pick one today then you can't go wrong with Jessica Rabbit!

[Tracy Irving]

I have never had a cartoon role model but have enjoyed several comic straps and animations over the years. This includes, but is not limited to, Bloom County, Opus, The Far Side, and television's Homer Simpson as well as Pinky and the Brain.

[DIANEF]

Got to be Bugs Bunny. He always seemed to have an endless supply of female outfits handy!

[Lana Mae]

There could be so many! Betty Boop, Wilma Flintstone, Betty Rubble, Jane Jetson, the list goes on but like Diane it would be Bugs Bunny! LOL Hugs Lana Mae

[NicoleScott]

Jessica Rabbit for sure, and Lois Griffin is hot, too.

[Sabrina.K]

Princess Peach.

It's the dress :D

[Debra Russell]

Blondie for me, Dagwood is a lucky man :heehee:........................Debra

[Dana44]

Got to say Betty Boop was amazing and Natasha Fatale was awesome.

[Brandy Fromdaburg]

Grandpa Rick from the Rick and Morty cartoon. Whenever I accomplish something important to me I yell out "woo hoo yeah! I'm pickle Rick!". You would have to watch the show to understand what that means

[Roberta Young]

Curly from the Three Stooges when He was dressed femm. Hugs Roberta

[Nora TBD]

This may be a bit obscure - but I wanted to be the cartoon girl on the board game "Mystery Date".

[Keely]

It would have to be Bugs Bunny for me. Could never get enough of that cartoon:daydreaming:

[Aemilie]

Penelope Pitstop, I was in love with Penelope Pitstop, there was nothing about her I didn't like.

[Leslie Langford]

Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble. Loved the hair and hourglass figures on both those gals, and oddly enough, I still have a thing for animal prints...go figure! ;)

[ClosetED]

I vote for Jessica Rabbit for a movie character and Daphne Blake from Scooby-Doo from TV. One glamorous and another more girl next door but stylish.
Hugs, Ellen

[ellbee]

Awesome thread topic! :thumbsup:


Gawd, there are sooo many great gals. How to pick one??


As someone already mentioned, I, too, kinda had a thing for Jane Jetson. :o


But, yeah... See my avatar. :heehee:

[Tina Davis]

Daphne would be my first choice, she had the short dress, hose, and heels I wanted to wear, even if they were all purple! Then Betty Boop or Jessica Rabbit or (really obscure) Red Hot Riding Hood.

[kimdl93]

Same classic cartoon, but probably Bullwinkle

[Leslie Langford]

Somehow, I thought that might be mechamoose's reply, kimdl :heehee:

[Bobbi46]

how about Olive Oyle from the cartoon series Popeye

[Meghan4now]

How about Rudolph the Reindeer? (Or Claris?)

Why am I such a misfit
I am not just a nitwit

Of course the female centaurs from fantasia struck a cord with me at about 5 years old. For real! And who wouldn't want to be Kim Possible!

[jessica_brink]

Definitely Jessica Rabbit. She was the epitome of femininity and sexiness. Especially the scene where's all tied up, that's what started my fascination with dressing as a woman and damsels in distress.

[Shayna]

Betty from the Archie's, Trixie from Speed Racer

[Erica Skifishski]

some good mentions here. Bugs always passed, at least at first.

For me, Daphne; Tina is so right about the outfit. And those long legs. One of my best and cheapest-laziest Halloween costumes ever was Fred. I should have gone as Daphne.

[Sage Rose]

Jem! What a classic 80's cartoon!

[Kayliedaskope]

OMG, so many choices!

First pick: Jessica Rabbit

Jem, Stormer, Kimber ... pretty much all of the female members of the show except Pizazz. (Her makeup was way over the top.) Bonus: I have the complete boxed DVD set!

Bugs Bunny, of course! Who wouldn't be inspired??

Trixie from Speed Racer - cute outfits!

Daphne from Scooby Doo - attraction to redheads ...

Holli Would (if she could) from Cool World

Rogue, Storm, Jean Grey from the X-Men

Wonder Womam from the Justice League

Black Widow

Elektra

All of the Disney princesses!!




I better stop here for now, or I'll be typing all day ...

[Pat]

I always wanted to BE Veronica from Archie comics, but I always knew in my heart I was a Betty. ;)

[Aunt Kelly]

Oh, yeah - Jessica Rabbit. "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."

[Roxy]

I've dressed as Natasha for a Halloween party (I think I ended up looking more like Betty Page)and with my wife as Boris...our size difference made the choice a no brainer on who wore the dress....me being 6'4" and she being 5'2" to fit the comic theme of the party.
As a fan of redheads, Jessica Rabbit is someone I'd like to emulate...I think I have the legs, boobs, and dress...just need the right wig and occasion to do it

[Erica Skifishski]

Oh, yeah - Jessica Rabbit. "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."NOW I can hear that voice. Wow, that voice.

[SaraLin]

I know she's been mentioned, but there was always something fascinating about Storm from the X Men.

For an obscure reference, how about Platinum from the comic Metal Men?

[aprilgirl]

For me, there was always something about Jan from Space Ghost.

[Sarasometimes]

I'm with Shayna, but adding Veronica to Betty and Trixie. For a male, Bugs did have a great stash of women's clothes and he pulled them off well. I never could find that big hat he wore in the theater!

[Angie G]

Bugs the cross dressing bunny. But there is always Jessica Rabbit for pure SEXY!:hugs:
Angie

[rockerreds]

Little Annie Fanny

[Cheryl T]

I would love to say Jessica Rabbit, but I feel more like Jane Jetson to tell the truth.

[Maria Blackwood]

Grandpa Rick from the Rick and Morty cartoon. Whenever I accomplish something important to me I yell out "woo hoo yeah! I'm pickle Rick!". You would have to watch the show to understand what that means

Wubba lubba dub dub.

I'm going with Gadget Mouse.

281193

Because adorable mouse engineer and because my brain functions oddly.

[Kayliedaskope]

I know she's been mentioned, but there was always something fascinating about Storm from the X Men

She had a VERY powerful presence, not to mention that gorgeous long white hair.
(Well, okay ... she also had a helluva figure, too ... )

[Alice Torn]

I was always mesmerized by Natasha, too. Tall, and sultry!

[RachelB.]

Gotta say Betty from the Archie comic books. Probably showing my age with that remark

[Taylor186]

Wasn't female but he did wear a skirt - Scrooge McDuck

281215

But, really it was because he had a house full of money.

281216

[docrobbysherry]

Foghorn Leghorn. Not one of my favorites. But, one I won't forget!:D

281221

[Sharon budd]

weed, from bill and ben.

[JanetW]

Moose and squirrel. June Foray the voice of Natasha and Rocky passed away a few weeks ago.

[joank]

Popeye and Mighty Mouse but then I'm dating myself to the 40's and early 50"s. Pretty much anything to do with WWII including nose art.

[sometimes_miss]

Well, the first was Peppermint Patty's sidekick, Marci; the mild mannered one that always called Patty 'sir'.
281247


But quickly graduate to Penelope Pitstop.

Roger the alien!

[Krisi]

Jessica Rabbit for sure, and Lois Griffin is hot, too.

Yes, Lois Griffin the time they had Jesus Christ over for dinner and he made her breasts large.

[Sarah Doepner]

Betty and Veronica, from Archie comics, Supergirl and Bugs Bunny for his unashamed and enthusiastic crossdressing.

And just about every female (or very passable CD) cartoon in Playboy magazine. They set the bar way too high, but I wasn't thinking about how it could be done, only that it was a goal.

[Zoe B]

Scooby Doo, with a fondness for Velma Dinkley

[donnalee]

Has to be Cat Woman!

[Robin777]

For me it was Bugs Bunny. He always looked so good in those womens outfits.

[Kelsey dresses]

Jessica rabbit of course no one comes close

[Annemarie Dutch]

Not my role model per se, but I was totally in love with 281497281497Ariël the mermaid

[CarlaWestin]

Definitely Jessica Rabbit. She was the epitome of femininity and sexiness. Especially the scene where's all tied up, that's what started my fascination with dressing as a woman and damsels in distress.

http://data.whicdn.com/images/4958395/large.gif

Definately J. Rabbit. You had to show me that, didn't you?

[Littlebee]

I love cartoons...and I always love the girls on cartoons....but it changed, depending on the age....

[Brenda456]

Definitely Bugs Bunny. Very confident and could wear anything. I could never decide if Rocky the Squirrel was a boy or girl. . .

[Kayliedaskope]

LittleBee, you have good taste!

[MaidMarguerite]

Samus Aran, something about a strong woman with a cannon attached to her arm really intrigued me.

[Anne K]

Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle, though Natasha is in the running!

281530

[Gwyneth]

Wilma Flintstone and/or Betty Rubble. Besides that any woman drawn into comic books.

[LilSissyStevie]

Based on my appearance, I'd have to say Alice the Goon.

Both in male mode
281561

and en femme
281562

I think Alice was one of the first CD cartoon characters but I'm not sure if she was FTM or MTF.

[Robertacd]

Bugs Bunny, specifically when he played Brunhilde in "Whats Opera Doc?"

My favorite scene Elmer sings "Oh Brunhilde your so gorgeous".
281569
Brunhilde sings "Yes, I know it, I can't help it..."

[sarah_hillcrest]

Wow that brings back such memories. After watching the What's Opera Doc, episode my brother and I acted it and sang I remember picking him and and carrying him in my arms then throwing him on the couch.

I was mostly a Looney Tunes fan, but I also liked Themla from Scooby Do because I was always attracted to intelligence.

[IleneD]

I'm thinking Superman; actually any number of comic book superheroes.
The Wife and I were talking (again) the last few days about "it".... you know, the CD Thing. The WHY is always a conversation thread. She was asking what the big deal was about going out dressed up. I related several of my stories, the Adventures of Ilene. Going shopping. Flying on an airplane. Restaurants, etc. After hearing several stories and how I told her it went, and how stoked I was about moving around incognito in public, the Wife said, "You sound like you have a secret identity like a superhero. Your secret identity is Ilene."
I never gave that them much thought, but it makes sense. I devoured comic books as a kid. Now the times were, in a sense, the golden age of comics. But yes, it makes sense. The love of tights and garments that fit like hosiery. Always loved tights and leggings even as a kid. I remember the cheap thrill I had when I went out for the HS wrestling team and they let me wear leggings. A gateway garment, I believe.
But the "Secret Identity" aspect of CD makes sense.

Bugs Bunny.
Probably one of the best single characters EVER to wear a dress. Who doesn't absolutely adore (and giggle with) Bugs Bunny in drag. Warner Bros, so clever with that.

[Sometimes Steffi]

So many people like Bugs Bunny if drag.

So was one of the Warner Bros. cartoonists one of us. expressing himself in the only way possible 60 years ago?

[Robin777]

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

[Robbiegirl]

George Jetson's wife Judy ! Pretty Dresses and George was always pushing the HER button on her closet and wearing them ! LOL

281631

[Evie82]

There were a few... Daphne from Scooby Doo, Cheetara from Thundercats, Virulena from Visionaries, Maleficent and even Bella from the Groovie Goolies!

[dana digs sweaters]

If Bugs could crossdress for fun, why couldn't I?

281632

- - - Updated - - -


Blondie for me, Dagwood is a lucky man :heehee:........................Debra

Dagwood could also pull off being a blonde :-)

281633

[Julie Slowinski]

In guy mode (and watching with my son) my favorite cartoon is Tom and Jerry. When all dolled up, I aspire to be Jessica Rabbit (my favorite wig is similar to her style).

But my true role model is Bugs!! First, cuz he looks fabulous in a dress and always has impeccable makeup. More importantly, he crossdresses without drama ... thinks nothing of putting on the dress and when done he goes back to his regular life completely un-phased. We should all be so lucky to have such confidence.

💋💋💋 Julie

[Robbiegirl]

Archie appeared numerous times in Veronica's dresses but in this pic it is Bettys mother putting them into Bettys cute clothes since they got caught in the rain ! LOL

281644281644

[Zoe B]

Berg Katse from Gatchaman was a bit of a fascination for me as the character was portrayed switching between both male and female roles.

[GinaSkirt]

Bugs is in a league of his or her own, but for just down right sexy Jessica Rabbit. Either bunny would make Hugh proud.

[dana digs sweaters]

Blondie for me, Dagwood is a lucky man :heehee:........................Debra
281705

Even if he wasn't happy to be in a dress

[Littlebee]

LittleBee, you have good taste!

Thank you Kay

[CarlaWestin]

George Jetson's wife Judy ! Pretty Dresses and George was always pushing the HER button on her closet and wearing them ! LOL

281631

It was "Jane, his wife!" Now I have the Jetson's song stuck in my head!
Oh how I would love to have a HER button in my closet!

Of course, who can forget Jimmy Olsen undercover taking one for the team.

281720

[BrendaPDX]

Still learning my Chromebook, but Pocahontontas would be mine, love the more natural look:)

Of course, who can forget Jimmy Olsen undercover taking one for the team.

281720

OMG ! You are correct it was Jane ! And he pusehed the HER button many times!
watching and howling and saying to my dad that he must also be wearing her bra and panties !

how about Richie Rich !

281793
I remember my mother

[StarrOfDelite]

Not sure who I can remember who was my favorite back in the day, but here's the guy I'd want to marry. Who doesn't love a duck with a ten thousand cubic feet of money?

281794

Now, if the question was "which cartoon character would you want to be in the present day, it's Aeon Flux, no-brainer!

281795

[KimberlyJean]

Lady Jaye and Scarlett on GI Joe!

[Robbiegirl]

281705

Even if he wasn't happy to be in a dress

Oh who is Dagwood Kidding ! Who wouldn't want to wear Blondies Cute dresses, he was always doing it ! LOL
281843

[GracieRose]

I have to say it was Betty Boop, until she was upstaged by Jessica Rabbit.

[Tabitha_Lynn]

Buggs of course. LOL

281846

Poor Bart gets caught by his sister !

282004

[Robbiegirl]

Fred and Barney somehow were always fitting into their wives dresses

282020

[RachelCD4]

Jessica Rabbit!

[Susan Smokes]

Mighty Mouse.

[Kayliedaskope]

Is there a way to add a poll to the thread? It would help to tally up the votes, plus leaving a space for "write-in" votes. Looks like Jessica Rabbit is somewhere in the lead, though.

[DIANEF]

A quick, and probably not very accurate read gives Bugs 19 mentions and Jessica 16, though many members have mentioned both in their replies.

[halljennifer]

Wile E. Coyote. No matter how many times he got crushed by an "Acme anvil" or ran out of road and fallen off a cliff, he would get back up and try to catch the roadrunner again. Perseverance. Drive.
