Always loved Pippi! Thanks for reminding me of her. Believe it or not, I used to run home from school when I was 9 and 10 years old to watch Adrienne Clarkson on Take 30. I know, very nerdy! She was certainly a woman in media that made an indelible mark on my perception of women. And then, I

really appreciated Bugs Bunny when he did drag. Can't say why, but there it is.

Oh yes Adrienne Clarkson! And I also loved listening to Barbara Frum on As It Happens - such positive role models and really effective interviewers. And Bugs Bunny in drag hahahaha! Yes, I can see that you would appreciate that ;c)
