I wanna be that girl!

[SuzanneBender]

I found The Love Boat on DVD while out and about today (Reconnaissance for black Friday). I bought a season and watched a couple of episodes today. As soon as I saw Jill Whelan playing Vicki Stubing the thought ran back into my mind like a run away train "Gosh I would have loved to have been able to trade places with her." Thinking back I realize that I watched a lot of TV shows and movies during my formative years where I wished I could trade places with the young lady on the screen.

My question is this:

Did you ever find yourself as a youngster wishing you were a young lady in a TV show or Movie and if so, who did you most want to be?

[Lorileah]

Sure almost every one. Samantha Stevens, Honey West (google that one), Julia (now you really need to Google that one ) but mostly Marsha Brady because she was so much like the girls who ignored me in High School, Bet they are sorry now

[Leslie Langford]

... as a "girl next door" kind of girl had I been born the opposite sex, albeit with a strong hint of repressed sexuality (and sensuality) just waiting to be brought to the surface at the right moment.

And having dark brown hair myself, who else but Mary Ann Summers (Dawn Wells) of Gilligan's Island fame or Janet Wood (Joyce de Witt) of Three's Company to have been my preferred alter egos ?

[Danielle76]

I can't say I ever had that desire as a child. I only started cross dressing in my teens. However, if I did have that urge as a child, it would definitely have been Blaire from Facts of Life. Damn she was hot... What I wouldn't give to have seen her naked in her prime...

[TSchapes]

Marlo Thomas (That Girl) Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeanie), nuff said!

-Tracy

[Phyliss]

REALLY telling my age.

I'd hurry home from school to watch Mickey Mouse Club and stare at Annette and watch how her boobs were growing with each show, and so want to grow my own like her.
Even if it was only a 10" black and white RCA television, I'd be so mesmerized by her. After that, it was almost any good looking honey would get me to thinking about trading places.

Sure almost every one. Samantha Stevens, Honey West (google that one), Julia (now you really need to Google that one ) but mostly Marsha Brady because she was so much like the girls who ignored me in High School, Bet they are sorry now

I actually knew the Julia right off the bat but did have to look up Honey West and her one season.

Marlo Thomas (That Girl) Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeanie), nuff said!

Seconded on Barbara Eden. How many of us who grew up then wouldn't love to be in that outfit!

I have to add the usual Mary Ann and going way back, Emma Peel.

[Phyliss]

OMG!! Sue, how could I have ever forgotten Emma Peel and those clothes she wore.

[msjessgill]

For me it was Batgirl and Marlo Thomas

Actually I always wanted to be Gordie Howe or Bobby Hull or Jaque Plante.. Tony Espisito....

...now you have Hayley Wickenheiser to look up to as a female hockey role model...!

No one like that around when you were still wearing little girls' ruffled pink panties with your poodle skirt and penny loafers ...

[Andrea's Lynne]

Karen - Are you SURE you don't mean Bobbi Hull or Jaqueline Plante.. Toni Espisito?

[Karren H]

Bobby's and Tony's twin sisters had crappy slap shots and Jaques sister couldn't keep a puck out of the net..... too busy playing with her makeup.... lol

[Amy Sue]

Hope I am not dating myslef, but Melissa Gilbert for me. Not in her younger years, but as she got older towards the end of the of the Little House series I thought she was really beautiful. Occasionally on TV now I see an old episode and still think the same.

She has only become prettier as the years go by.

[Chixxie]

Evie Ethel Garland

Portrayed by Maureen Flannigan

Not just because I had a slight (ok, a big) crush on her...
Or that she is around my age...
But mostly because she could gleep (See here for more information)

Ok....so, basically, the whole total package of hotness and powers.
There, I said it.
Is that too cheezy for a wishlist?

[Astrid Star]

I would like to be "Blair Waldorf" from Gossip Girl.



I want to have all of the finances that she has at my disposal and all of her lovely outfits. But most importantly, I want her beautiful features.

Astrid

[brittdoll]

Jennifer Aniston's Rachel Green

[amandag]

for me I always wanted to be as Linda Carter. I just loved everything about her. I would watch every show she was in and fantasize me being her.

Even today with us both being much older I would still like to be her.

Amanda

[Shelby]

I used to have dreams of being Helen Slater aka Supergirl. As a boy I had a book version of the movie with big color photos and I thought she was a goddess in that cute little red skirt and spandex blue top. I'm also a sucker for long blonde hair. I would lie in bed dreaming of being her or wearing her costume at the very least.

[Paula T]

Actually I always wanted to be Gordie Howe or Bobby Hull or Jaque Plante.. Tony Espisito....

[jenna_woods]

I sure did and still do wish I was "that" girl

[Karren H]

possibly be hockey players?

Yeah!!! 24/7!!

I would have loved to be Lauren Tewes(Julie McCoy the Love Boat Cruise Directer). Had the situation and my being femme enought to do it.
