Today’s Dirty Librarian Chick

Oh yeah, another one of my all-time favorites… I present the lovely and talented Cat Schwartz from Tech TV (now G4 and loaded with all kinds of sucktitude and no Cat):

You would think if they were trying to attract young guys, Cat would be a definite keeper. Instead she vanished right after Call for Help went off the network, which was another dreadful decision.

In fact, I can’t think of a good decision G4 has made regarding Tech TV since they brutally raped and sodomized it into some pathetic wannabe hipster videogame network took it over.

    No, not at all. We who get it, get it. Emma Peel (the Diana Rigg edition) was WAY too wild to qualify. "Mr. Steed..." indeed.

    I can think of a few Katherine Hepburn roles that qualify, actually.
  • Yeah, but Emma didn't have the glasses thing going on...

    I'm having a hell of a time explaining this look :-)

    True. Emma Peel, for example, wasn't exactly a "librarian," but she was smart, intelligent, and did bring a certain amount of geek cred to the job.

    That and leather pants.

    Nothing wrong with that, though.

    The problem you have going too far back is that the notion of "sexy" changes beyond recognition.

    But of course there's the whole tradition embodied in lines like...

    "Why. Miss Arbuthnot...without your glasses and with your hair down, you're...beautiful!"
  • Hmmm... Velma was just geeky, though... Not quite the right look...
  • RKB
    Velma?
  • Hmmmm... I wonder if we can go back further.

    That sounds like a fun project :-)

    Let's perform a bit of cultural anthropology here and trace this look back in time to its source.

    As a starting point, I nominate Diane Keaton in the early scenes of "Annie Hall" (1977).
  • Yes, indeed we are. And we love good-lookin' chicks, too :-)
