Ann Magnuson
Every man has a personal list of the women he considers the most beautiful. These women fill various roles in his fantasies; cheerleaders, nurses, teachers, whores or whichever direction his tastes run. Usually the lists are populated by whoever seems to be the top models and actresses of that time- Eva Longoria, Keyra Agostina, Pam Anderson and the like. While I appreciate the beauty of those women (except Pam- boring), the women on my list were stronger, more dominant women.
One of those is Ann Magnuson. My love for her began when I was a preteen and saw the movie A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon. It was a story about a young Casanova and his exploits during the fifties, as well as his tenuous relationship with his father. The starring role went to River Phoenix, who more than fit it and opposite him, along with a pre-Friends Matthew Perry, were three beautiful women; Ione Skye, Meredith Salenger and Ann Magnuson. At one time all three women were in my fantasy rolodex though I spent the most time with Ann. She played the recent divorcee and friend of his mom who takes him home and seduces him. I would compare him to Benjamin Braddock though Reardon seems much more comfortable in his role as the temporary boytoy for a beautiful older woman. When the sound of her stockinged legs rubbing together captured the boy's attention, I was hooked. This was the type of woman I've always imagined in my dreams.
This is what every young man dreams about and needs; a confident older woman that takes an untrained boy and teaches him about women. I was lucky enough to have a similar experience many years later but at first it was just a fantasy.
She was perfect for her role, a slyly beautiful woman, highly sexual and passionate. As the older, eager lover she created an image that I'll never forget. The sight of her bare back, slowly dropping the towel to join her friend's son in the shower stirred my then latent submissive yearnings.

Ann Magnuson came from the Manhattan art scene of the eighties. She was a performance artist and developed a career based on small cameos in movies such as Desperately Seeking Susan before earning top billing. She became known for her stylish wear and often dressed like starlets or pin up girls. When photographed she was often the seductive, powerful woman or the cute nymphet.
She formed a band, Bongwater, whose biggest hit, The Power of Pussy, was filled with sexual entendres amidst carefully crafted psychedlia. Her image was that of the sexually aware, potent, powerful woman, one who set the pattern for much femdom imagery today.
