Divas!
What is a Diva? Well, I'd say it's any lady that stands out from the rest. The classical diva was an opera star but the term has really expanded from everything from pop singers and actresses to drag queens and wrestlers!
Who are some of your favorite Divas? I'll start with one of my favorites and true diva in every sense of the word....beautiful soprano Angela Gheorghui |

A fan Tweeted:
“Just wanted to say, I have the biggest celeb crush on @DoveCameron. Thank you, that is all.” (No it wasn’t me--my wife would kill me… but it expresses my sentiments quite well. ) Dove (jokingly) responded: “i hear she's a total diva tho” By the way, “Descendants 3” is due out in 2019. Hope you enjoy her pics! I was refraining from posting because I didn’t want to turn this into a Dove, Hayley, Miley, Demi, and Taylor thread. But Boner said it would be OK. (These pics are after "Liv and Maddie" so she is "over 18" in all of them. You know I had to include at least one "Mal" pic. ) Last edited by a9127; 09-21-2019 at 10:12 PM. |

Very nice! Post away!
I'm just hoping to see some beautiful women! No Diva thread would be complete without a nod to Queen Ru though! |

I especially like the second picture top row. I'm sure she knows I've been a bad boy...
And of course my favorite "diva," Hayley. Last edited by a9127; 09-20-2019 at 11:23 PM. |

Rounding out my top three favorite "divas" is none other than Miley Cyrus.
It's "popular" to bash Miley on the Internet (nothing new, the hate goes all the way back to when she was 13 and on Hannah Montana) and yes, her public "image" for a while was very different from the pics I posted. I've never used or endorsed drugs and some of her on-stage behavior was very outrageous. Every generation's music (even Elvis and the Beatles were once considered "scandalous" ) is meant to "shock" be "new" and "edgy." When I was a pre-teen I had a Cannibal Corpse CD that my mom found and threw in the trash. I still listen to "extreme" metal and hard rock. Seems I turned out OK. As the first to admit I possess zero talent and know nothing about show business, I don't know how much of her "transformation" several years ago was "really who she was" as we've been told, or a very well thought out marketing campaign. Considering the amount of money it takes to promote a new album and support a tour, I suspect it was the latter. In another post I mentioned that I had friends who met her. It was when her "Wonder World" tour came to Indianapolis in 2009. They said she was super sweet and posed for pictures and signed autographs. I had a chance to go but thought I was "too old" although in my 20's. I will take the word of my friends over anything that comes from TMZ, OK!, or Life & Style any day. You are aware Miley is known in real life as a very generous and caring person? She is also a big supporter of LGBT rights. I remember her participating in the "NOH8" campaign several years ago. I realize there's always someone who will not like her but If all you know is the "post-Bangerz" or "dead petz" Miley, I hope you'll take another look at her. (All these pics were taken from late 2010 to July 2012 so she is "over 18." She was born in November 1992.) Last edited by a9127; 09-21-2019 at 10:12 PM. |

Hell, I'm not even sure what to post on here anymore. So I guess I'll post my three favorite cis "divas."
Hope Boner will post more and others will contribute pics of their favorites. Anything goes. It's all good! (Moderators: The picture of Dove is from the "Descendants" premier, July 2015. She's 19. Miley and Hayley are both "mid-twenties." About my age... ) Last edited by a9127; 09-21-2019 at 10:19 PM. |

That makes this a perfect place for me to share some pictures of beautiful Renee Reyes. I've always loved her sexy outfits but never really thought of her as a "cross-dresser" and I don't like thinking of trans-ladies like Renee as a "she-male" so I never was quite sure where to share pictures of this lovely lady. Here she is- the Diva Renee Reyes |

This is what my friend Boner had to say when he began this thread. "Age" was never a criteria!

You're right....age never was a criteria. Basically I just wanted a thread to celebrate femininity and glamour without worrying if the ladies we're admiring had that something extra we all like. Cis or trans, younger or more mature, so long as you like her. I like opera divas, pop divas, club divas, wrestling divas, actresses, models, stage performers- Viva la Diva!
I especially like this lady, Reneee Reyes. I think of her as a "classic"diva like Horsehead described, a mature, sophisticated lady of the world. I fantasize about being a young teen and her being the older lady next door inviting me over.... |

For my friend Boner. Fifth Harmony belongs here as they could be considered modern "Divas." Camila has two huge hits on the radio at the moment “Havana” and “Never be the Same.”
I read somewhere recently that they have broken up to pursue solo careers. Many of the women in this thread may be in their 20’s or 30’s but everyone has to start somewhere. I would expect that quite a few of them will still be popular as solo artists or actresses when they are in their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s. Last edited by a9127; 09-22-2019 at 12:37 PM. |

You know I love the ladies of Fifth Harmony and think theyre all beautiful' In order: Dinah Jane, Ally Brooke, Camilla Cabello, Normani Kordei, and Lauren Jaurgui. They are all lovely and agree with Andy that they each have a bright future even if they don't stick together. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Normani She's beautiful and I heard she did well on "Dancing With The Stars"> I missed it but I would have loved to be partner in a private practice session Last edited by Boner; 05-16-2018 at 08:20 PM. |

J-Lo
J-Lo has always been one of my favorites, and only seems to get better with age.

My new "girlfriend." Manon Flier of the Netherlands Women's Volleyball Team. 6'4", beautiful, and a great athlete.
(We are about the same height and close in age too. Wonder how much she knows about "American Football"? Amsterdam had an NFL Europe team for a while. Don't know how we'll work out the "long distance" relationship part. Amsterdam is about 4,000 miles from Indianapolis. Besides she's married. And so am I. Sigh... ) Last edited by a9127; 09-21-2019 at 11:07 PM. |

From her Cosmo photo shoot in 2011.
"Riot" era with the original members of Paramore (2007). Once took a "Fan Quiz" to see "which Hayley" I matched up with. This one of course... From the "Vans Warped Tour 2011." If she pointed at me I'd either have a heart attack or do whatever she wanted... From the "Vans Warped Tour 2007." One of my favorite pictures. Being goofy but still looking totally gorgeous. She likes to bowl and I've heard is actually pretty good. Of course she uses an orange ball. (Moderators: Hayley was 18 going on 19 in 2007. All of the other pictures are more recent. She was only 14 or 15 and already an accomplished musician when she started singing with Paramore.) Last edited by a9127; 09-20-2019 at 09:04 PM. |

The last picture of Hayley reminds me of an experience during my Senior year of college. We all went “cosmic bowling.” There was drinking. My date was using a pink ball, very light. For fun I decided to try it. My fingers of course didn’t fit the little holes so I “palmed” it and threw it down the lane. Fortunately it landed before it reached the pins and I got a strike. People stopped to see what had happened. Management came over.
(I promise not to do that again if ever Hayley and I go bowling on a date. Now I hope others will contribute to this thread! ) Last edited by a9127; 09-21-2019 at 11:11 PM. |
