Over two months have passed since the last Famous Females of Height update. Thanks to three readers' input and my recent spate of watching old movies starring tall female actors, this update is longer than usual.

Stana,
ReplyDeleteYou always have wonderful posts on fashion and femulation (yours and others). Always there is a focus on pictures, which seems right to me. One thing I have always wondered about is whether CDs remain just as visually focused as non-CD guys (and more than GGs), but we turn that vision more inward. In my case, walking down the street I notice everything about the women I see, but often their beauty I notice as a wish that I could better emulate and their clothes i notice as a wish that I could wear! I suspect neither the women in our lives nor our non-CD friends are ever looking at another woman in the same way, although we are closer to thinking like a gal than a guy. Anyway, I consider it a gift that we have a good fashion sense and that we can appreciate beauty without sexual lust always present. Thanks again for helping us appreciate "femulation!"
Lisa ---- Me too. I have always looked at women with an emulator's eye.
DeleteI also look with the desire to emulate -- as well as steal those gloves from Hedy! ~~giggle~~
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this beautiful picture of Hedy Lamarr. She was brilliant as well as gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI always like your notation of tall women. I know that my observations of women tend to be more of a dual natured activity. I see them for their beauty, poise and attire.
