The other day a group of us, male and female (most of whom don’t know about the “Dinah” side of me), were sitting around playing: “If I could press a magic button and look like ____________, who would it be?” You can fill in the blank with any entertainer, celebrity or public figure in the history of civilization.
Predictably, the men named sports stars, actors or male celebrities while the women named actresses, models and female celebrities, until it came to my turn when – my tongue loosened by several glasses of wine – I blurted out: “RITA HAYWORTH.”
All heads turned. Shock! Dismay! One of my male friends said to me: “Are you serious?”
If you’re too young to remember Rita Hayworth, rent one of her movies or download some pics of her from the internet and you’ll see what I mean. So when my friend said “Are you serious?” I pulled out a coffee-table book of glamour photography and showed everyone a famous glamour pic of Rita from the early 1940’s. I said to my friend: “Are YOU serious? Who wouldn’t want to look like THIS!” Well, that did it. After some more wine, even my male friends were ready to concede that I had made a good choice. In vino veritas! Somewhere inside every man there’s a beautiful woman, or at least a girly girl, screaming to come out.
I should add that my picture is an exact representation of me. In my dreams!
Okay, girls, it’s time to press that magic button. Who would you want to look like?
Hugs to all,
Rita -- I mean, Dinah

Fascinating question. I generally have a hard time separating personality from appearance - they blend a lot in my impressions of someone. My reflexive response of who I'd want to be as a woman would probably be Gwen Stefani or Cameron Diaz.
Who would I want to look like? Okay, that takes a little more thought and a deliberate effort to be shallow. I'll go with Bridget Moynahan ...
