Mary Ann had her thing but then I gotta say there is something about a country redneck girl that just tickles the shit out of me. The meaner they are the better I like um ha ha ha. Talking junk and making up those original redneck sassy smart arse words and phrases. Its good for many many laughs and I love to laugh. Now I am not talking trashy redneck just sassy and head strong. :D

Maybe a small sample of each before I make my final decision?

I'm 62 now, I'm afraid a small sample from each might be fatal... However.:groucho:

I’ve always felt attracted to personality/positive energy/intelligence/heart. I’m serious. Looks play a role, but not at all primary.

One of my favorite memories is the time I brought a girl home, and my parents treated her well, but after she left, my dad said, “She wouldn’t look good in a frame!”

I said, “Dad, that’s a terrible thing to say!” He just laughed and shook his head at me. He didn’t want me embarrassing myself, I guess. I liked that girl. She smiled a lot and was fun to be around. Some of the better looking girls I dated were narcissistic and plenty of trouble. Isn’t that the typical way it works?

I've always noticed that I was attracted to some girls that weren't quite as pretty as others and yet there was something about them.

I can look at pictures of attractive women and say this one - and admit that some of the others are prettier.

Not saying that they are not close.

It's strange.

But my days of wanting another one are long gone.

My wife always did it for me and for her age I would say she is still a 9.5.

Has held her age very well - but she is a narcissist. After 40 + years we live apart.

I'm still crazy about her - which to me means - I must also be crazy.

Like fine wine... aged very well.

View attachment 261984

My wife assisted Ms. Wells at the Happy Trails convention in Roanoke, VA in 2019. She indeed aged very well-still VERY much a looker. And intelligent, and conservative and God loving in a big way. And a razor sharp wit and a love of laughter too. She was a lady to the end.
Most importantly, she was proud of the role she did as Mary Ann. I asked her about her role, about all of us in love with her as teens. She said she played it like she was an American boy's "sister". Nothing trashy, nothing risque; someone you could lean on. She played "purity" because that was her. She was quite the lady; proper, beautiful and very!!! smart. And she pegged her role perfectly. We miss her, she was a hoot to be around.
We just got back in town from this year's Happy trails convention, my wife was assistant to Dreema Denver (Gilligan's wife). What a neat lady too! She and Ms. Wells were close friends; she misses her a lot, as we all do.

Not in my case. The Ginger character was what I’d call a Hollywood bimbo. Give me the honest down-to-earth type. Not to mention cute. The Ginger character would cheat on her man for a movie deal or money, while the Mary Ann character never would. Ginger would be a “trophy wife” that empties your bank account. Mary Ann wants kids and is happy going on a picnic.

Dennis, Ms. Wells was also a HUGE animal lover. When the missus assisted her in 2019 at Happy Trails convention; her wallet had wallet sized pics of her fur kids. And Astor sat on her lap probably 2 of the 3 days of the convention. She was in love with our Astor; she took to him immediately. We had him in his little doggie stroller; not good enough for her. He had to be in her lap. People who bought books and got pics with her has Astor photo bombing nearly every pic taken at that convention.
Ms. Wells was QUITE the lady.

This is a much tougher selection.

River holds a certain attraction but also there is the whole instability is she goin to gut me element. When I was younger crazy was not an obstacle, experience teaches you to avoid crazy for a reason.

Kaylee has that hippie chick kind of vibe, might be open to uh ‘broad conversations.

And with Inara there is the professional is she watching the clock...

I got to go with Kaylee on this one.

For conversational purposes, I'd probably choose Mary Ann. To pose for me while I drew pictures, I'd probably choose Ellie May. For still other purposes, I'll have to think about it.

you gotta go with the newer Firefly version. Inara or Kaylee. or go for the wild one, River ?

I think my Ex was a redheaded River....SO NOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOOO!!

Hmmmmm Inara or Kaylee???? Boy that's a tough one. If I'm rich and meeting the President - Inara. If I'm living in the sticks and the SHTF.......Kaylee.
