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 ;).

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

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 ...

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.
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.
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.:battingeyelashes::)
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:

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.
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 ....
So many, but I'll have to say Raquel Welch. She still inspires me today with her beauty and style.
In the 70's for sure it was Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady). Later it was Lynda Carter and Valerie Bertinelli.
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
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
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:
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.
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.
The Avengers a great British show !
Miss Emma Peel,Ho how i wanted to be her…..
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?
It was this neighbor lady down the street. I developed this fantasy that she would feminize me. But, it was just a fantasy.
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.
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 :)
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
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! :)
Ann Wilson from Heart. Even as a little boy, I adored her. A few years later, Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in Alien.
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.
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.
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.
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 :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. :)
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.
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 ;)
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.
Attachment 230109
^ OMG yes ... I mean, the first 20 minutes of the film is about Maggie changing her stockings ;)
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.
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.
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.
My 4 older sisters are my girly inspirations.
Love, Lexi
