Girl Crushes!

[beth]

I decided to watch Pushing Daisies a couple days ago, and I love it. The character Chuck is adorable! I wish I could have her wardrobe.

 

[Lady Day]

I don't watch Glee, but I LOVED Jane Lynch in A Mighty Wind, The 40 Year Old Virgin, and if you all ever see Party Down (which is the costume she's wearing in the shot), it's the greatest show ever!

[Doctor Strange]

We agree again, LD - Party Down was very clever and utterly hilarious! The rest of the cast was also great, but Lynch was definitely missed when she left to do Glee. (Party Down got last year's edition of my personal My So-Called Life award for being canceled much, much too soon!)

Just off the top of my head, some other great Jane Lynch appearances - Best In Show, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (the funniest film I've seen in years), Julie & Julia (as Julia Child's even taller, louder sister!) - and countless TV apperances. Actually, she's always outstanding, even in tiny little character parts.

BTW, from my perspective, this season on Glee, she was actually less interesting - if still hilarious - as an increasingly cartoony villain, but she was brilliantly moving when she had to carry the show's dramatic freight (especially in the episode where her beloved sister with Down's Syndrome died.)

Modern:

Cate Blanchett. She's fantastic in everything, not just period pieces.

Dita von Teese, goes without saying.

Christina Hendricks

Vintage:

Myrna Loy

Claudette Colbert

Lana Turner. The lady always looked good, and had men's tongues wagging to prove it!

And I will add my voice for Patti and Debbie, outstanding women...

[W-D Forties]

Sophia Loren for sure.

If I could look like anyone in the world I would look like Sophia. Ever since I first saw her a a kid in 'Boy On A Dolphin' I have thought she was the most beautiful woman on the planet. Alas, I am about as far from Sophia physically as it is possible to get!

 

[ginfizz]

I do love Grace Kelly

I'm guilty of a few others as well.

Well along with the usuals of Dita & Christina Hendricks, I'm also currently crushing on Maureen O'Hara, Duchess Catherine, and Nigella Lawson.

Caroline Dawson Davis

Born in 1911, operated a drill press alongside her father in a factory in Elkhart, Indiana in the mid-thirties, organized and led the first union in the plant, and in 1948 became the head of the Women's Unit of the United Auto Workers. Devoted her whole life to protecting the interests of blue-collar working women, and was one of the Era's most active crusaders for Equal Pay for Equal Work.

Lynn Peril, the author of College Girls, Pink Think, and (my personal favourite) Swimming in the Steno Pool. She gives such a thorough examination of Golden Era pop culture and ways of thinking. She is fascinating!
