Lol...why is it you always find a lady in daisy dukes at any hobby convention?

[*-)] i’ve always wondered why that is? Anybody else noticed this phenomenon too?

Pictures?

What hobby shows are you going to? We all wanna know. I only see smelly fat guys. But not in Daisy Dukes thank goodness! [:S]

Try going to one of those Comic Book conventions!Some of those Cosplay girls are something else!

Well… there are ones you WANT to see, and others, well, not so much. [+o(]

[dto:] Real G!

Same goes for the 'Wally World" girls. OMG [+o(]

Jim [cptn]

Stay Safe.

Just remembered, they call them “Walmartians” on Yahoo.

What are Daisy Dukes?

Dodgy

Dodgy,

Daisy dukes are short shorts, like those worn by the character Daisy Duke on “Dukes of Hazard”. So you see, they are nicer seen on women versus fat dudes! [:O]

OK quick disclaimer - I NEVER watched Dukes of Hazard! I think the term Daisy dukes was just so ubiquitous back in the 1980s.

There’s a great rap song by Duice - Dazzey Duks, the video kinda hilites the interest :wink:

Yeah, not just short shorts, but short cutoff jeans. I’m with Real G, I never heard the term till I heard Howard Stern use it on his radio show in the late 80s. We just called 'em cutoff jeans.

These are Daisey Dukes. Others have already mentioned the tv show made famous by Barbara Bach. No girl like this has ever been at a model show.

That’s Catherine Bach…Barbara Bach was in the James Bond movie. [;)]

Heh, if there were girls like that at model shows these days, I’d have to start going to those again.

Barbara is married to Ringo!

Thanks for the correction. No girls like this at model shows. Not even shows in Hazard county. LOL

So, from the posts so far, it looks like the answer to the OPs question is no. [:D]

Miss Bach was the model for the figurehead of the schooner Californian, built in 1984 for the Los Angeles Olympics. While she is beautiful, she was selected as her family on her mothers side were an early California family.

Miss Bach, some of her signature shorts, and the other stars of the show…

Yep. Seriously, there aren’t very many women interested in scale modeling, generally. I think that’s been true, going back at least to the early days of plastic model kits. I remember reading about Revell’s efforts to make kits to attract girls to the hobby, like that squirrel kit, “Piri” I think it was. Aurora’s gold-leaf boxings (or was it a bronzing color?) of their animal kits were supposed to attract girls to the hobby, too. But they didn’t sell well.

There are more women painting figures, but even in that area of the hobby, I’d say it’s less than 5% of the people participating. Though, if we look at fantasy figures, and fantasy wargaming, that percentage of women participating edges up a little bit.

Well, without the shorts she’d probably be jailed… what a shame.

Aha!

Perri the Squirrel! When My sister got one I had to build it for her plus the one my Grandmother got for me. Hers was 'Perri", Mine was “Paul”!(Sis insisted I name it!) I was already familiar with interior Carpet kits for cars, they had been out about close to a year. “Perri” got Pinkish tan and “Paul”, looked just like the Box! My sister didn’t like natural colord Squirrels, she thought they looked to much like (outdoors Bushy Tailed rats!Her description, not mine)

Back to Daisy Dukes! If My daughters had worn them as even grown women they would’ve hear from half the females and more than half the men in out family" Go get dressed, You ain’t going out that way!"
