MOTH's New Girl

Jessica Lange

Isabel Allende

Michelle Pfeiffer

Meryl Streep

Renee Zellweger

Lee Remick

Here's MOTH's girls - the women he's long loved & admired. Quite a group of interesting gals by my reckoning. But recently, there has been an interloper, another who has usurped the others for his undivided attention. He has seriously fallen for the gorgeous Justine from the current series of Masterchef Australia. He became totally besotted with her from the first show, so you can imagine how devastated he was when she got the flicko last week.

From the early stages of our romance, as I was trying to get a handle on this rather enigmatic bloke I'd fallen for, I'd ask him who his favourite women were. He always gave very vague, non-committal answers & it was only as our relationship developed, was I able to begin to put together a bit of a mental list.

He reckons his favourite girls are class acts & I do tend to agree with him, although according to my Hollywood sources, the word 'flaky' can be attributed to at least one of them - you guess! I had to break the news to him yesterday, that according to my friend Renee Finberg , his darling Michelle may have had some recent 'assistance' with her appearance, which of course he denied emphatically! But boy, this Justine thing has come out of nowhere, considering there is the slight issue of a 37 year gap in their ages!

I'd love to hear if your Darling (current or previous!) or yourself has a faves list. It would be really interesting to compare notes, or even better, post on it. I'm sure we'd all be high-tailing over for a vicarious squizz!

  1. Great post Millie.....altho for a moment, I thought that we were in for another treat with MOTH as guest host....just as we had barely recovered from his last stint ;)

    Firstly, it's wonderful to see you here - how are you feeling?

    MOTH clearly has fabulous taste in women - obviously, all your fans here can attest to that.....and the woman you list here, Meryl, Lee et al....are all ladies I am sure we would all approve of.But Justine....hmmmm, I'm not quite as sure....she doesn't really have the pedigree of the other ladies, if you don't mind me saying.

    As for my husband.....well, he does like the dark haired Italian Claudia Cardinale/young Sophia Loren type.....Marisa Tomei, Courtney Cox, Nigella too.....clearly, I am right at home amongst that lot.....NOT!!

    Fun post :)

  4. MOTH does have good taste and you must be nestled in there amongst them all!
    My DH doesnt seem to have any favourites except that he has a past with girls names of every letter in the alphabet except for a few...but then there were a few doubleups on some letters too...lol
    Used to make for a good long driving game, guessing the names!!!

  7. OMG. My husband is BESOTTED with her too. How weird. I mean TAKEN with her. He is gutted she was outed. He says she is the full package. I imagine it has a lot to do with her culinery skills as much as her looks.

  8. I'm guessing the flaky one is Ms Zellweger? I'm also guessing you are blonde? Well he does have good taste. [of course !!]. Take care and good to see you back. Julie

  9. Millie, my husband has a thing about Sandra Sully. When she vanishes from the late news desk for weeks on end, I have to listen to "Where's Sandra?" and "When do you think Sandra's coming back?". Logies night red carpet is always popular because we get to see if Sandra as legs. Groan lol.

  12. Now of course you married a man with superb taste in women Millie! My husband was a bit peeved that Justine got the flick too - he reassures me it was her cooking skills he was interested in, but I can see right past that ruse!! He thinks that Anne Archer is just his cup of tea (and I can live with that). Lee :)

  13. Fabulous post! my tragic ex had a thing for Catrina Rowntree (sp?!) and my old house mates ( a couple) - he would swoon any time Charlize Theron was mentioned ( i can sort of understand that one) - hope you are doing ok bella xxx

  14. Believe it or not, my hubby's it girl is 'Sonia Kruger' from Dancing With The Stars'...she admits to having heaps done but I think the whole package thing is due to her sense of humour and her 'down to earth' approach to the show. A-M xx

  15. I don't hear my Beefcake talk about woman much. He apparently has man crushes and watches anything with Denzel Washington, Sylvester Stalone, Burce Willis and Dwayne The Rock Johnson. I don't mind watching the Rock. Eva Mendes is in several Denzel Movies and he has made mention to her come to think of it. I think Denzel has a thing for her too. Sorry that I copied your teal bedroom pic. I thought about it last night and I did lose sleep over it. I hope you are on the mend and your blood results continue to improve. Love ya, Heidi

  16. Hi Millie - hope you are recovering well and MOTH is looking after you and not talking too much about other "Girls". Thank you for your lovely message welcoming Indiana - we are home and settled and all is wonderful - still floating on cloud 9!!! Hope it stays for a while yet. Leanne
