Before I tell you more about the hotness that is Diana Rigg DBE, I have to confess to a childhood sin. At a tender young age, my mother (and I) watched The Avengers. Needless to say that I understood half of the banter, not much of the covert sexual tension, but I was hopelessly and head over heels in love with Emma Peel, she of the tight outfits. For many of you, the name will not ring a bell, and I will admit that it is a 1960s series and that television in Belgium was hopelessly outdated at the time. But ah, how I used to look forward to Emma's karate chops. For a short demo, please do not hesitate to click below.
I mean, wowza. Look at that. And she can knit too! As the years went on, and I grew older, the soft spot in my heart never faded and I continued to squeal contentedly every time a film listed the sexy avenger, now slowly morphing into a silver fox, among its cast. As Rigg went on to carve out a comprehensive stage career, I had to content myself with her rare appearances on the Beeb.
But there's something about her, something that I can't quite put my finger on, that I find hopelessly, addictively attractive.
And let's face it, how can you not love a woman whose middle name is Enid?
Many thanks for the reminder of her Diana Rigg's wonderfulness. I am quite sure that the direct action activist group, the Lesbian Avengers, chose the name with a loving reference to Miss Emma in mind (a.k.a. M appeal, which to us is rather more like L appeal).
I crafted many a house party flier with the deathless image of her, legs spread and hand on hip, in her latex suit, pistol in hand. Drew 'em like flies.
I'm a failed domestic demi-goddess, fallen from the heavens, here to threaten you all with bad spelling and too much food, an arched eyebrow or two and too many adjectives. Don't you just love me?

I mostly remember Joanna Lumley as Purdey in The New Avengers from the 70s.
We all know how fabulous she got older...
