Like a modern Diana the Huntress
Emma exuded appeal
She wore liquid black leather outfits
designed to reveal not conceal.
As a member of TV’s Avengers
She was her partner, John Steed’s, ideal.
Emma Peel in a Mini was fetching
Her clothing set fashion and style.
Leaving little to imagination
it made many a teenager smile.
In time she would leave for theater
and do a film as Mrs James Bond
Linda Thorson paled in comparison
but at least she was not a dumb blond

Diana Rigg did a turn as the original Emma Peel in T.V's Avengers in the 1960's. To say I was smitten is putting it mildly. thanks to JP and her recent poem which fired a long unused set of motor Neurons. I hope the many smart and vivacious blondes on the site will forgive me for perpetuating a stereotype. For me it has always and only been brunettes ( except for one memorable red head)
