I'm gonna make it after all.....

So this weekend was my friend Mia's annual Mary Tyler Moore party. Every year when her hubby goes out of town on his family fishing trip, she has her all girl party (except Paul Suazo) . It's pretty fun every year. i have been fortunate to attend for the last 4, in which it keeps getting bigger, every time i go!!! So i started thinking about Mary Tyler Moore and her womanly independence in the not so distant past. They even have a statue of her in Minneapolis, you know. I started thinking about all the other ladies of the sixties that i really liked. Hotties that were pretty independent themselves. i decided to make a list of some fun ones that i remembered. i'm sure i've left out a ton, so feel free to add some to the list. if you want to email me some pictures, i'd be happy to put them up as well.



Julie Newmar (as Catwoman)

















Natalie Wood (one of my personal favorites)






Aretha Franklin (nuff said)

Jane Fonda as Barbarella (I saw this movie when i was really little on the Superstation and comprehended NONE of the sexual innuendos, but thought it was the coolest movie in the whole world. and that killer doll scene gave me nightmares. i had to secretly sleep with my lights on - so my mom wouldn't think i had been watching bad television)

Diana Rigg as Emma Peel (the original badass secret agent in leather)

Nichelle Nichols as Lieutennant Uhura (seriously - did you think i was going to forget her?)

Julie Andrews (cause i loved her as Millie, Maria, Mary, and the Queen of Genovia)

Goldie Hawn (cause i used to think Laugh In on Nickelodeon was the funniest show since The Monkees)

And of course Audrey Hepburn, cause she's just gorgeous. Especially as Eliza Doolittle.

Some honorable mentions (but this blog has way too many pictures already) are Sophia Loren, Ann Margaret and Ms. Hathaway from the Beverly Hillbillies (there was a funny Simpson's episode where instead of David Cassady posters, Patty had a Ms. Hathaway poster above her bed!!). So if there are any other ladies and pictures you think should be posted on this entry, feel free to let me know!!!
