Okay, okay….so I like my mancandy. But I’ve gotten some emails and messages from the male (some from the female) viewing audience asking me to spotlight the amazing women of Once Upon A Time. The only problem is….how do I pick just one picture for each girl?

Holy cow, are these women beautiful. And you add in the costumes (I think I’m going to do my next post just on the costumes) and they become other-worldly creatures, beyond comprehension.

So in the interest of fair play…I give you the remarkable women of Once Upon A Time and a collection of pics that I feel capture their outstanding beauty.

Ingrid the Snow Queen

That gown! That condescending smile! That cleavage!

And speaking of cleavage….anybody remember

Jack

Milah

Okay, I hate her with the power of a thousand burning suns, but she knows how to rock the pirate garb.

Ashley/Cinderella

I think she’s prettier without all that damn foofy hair and the sparkly dress.

The queens of dimness….uh, darkness…

(Getting photobombed by Snow White, no less…)

Zelena

Never forget just how hot bat-shit crazy can be.

Tinkerbell

She may be small, but she’s feisty.

Ariel

I still think they should have given her a clamshell bra.

Mulan

Strong, beautiful, inwardly tortured…

Hot damn.

Aurora

Look at the fire in her eyes as she stands up to Cora.

And speaking of Cora….we get two gorgeous versions of her.

Older Cora

Older Cora was never more beautiful – and dangerous – than when she was smiling.

Young Cora

So. Freaking. Hot.

Red/Ruby

So hard to pick one for Red/Ruby because damn, is she just sex on long, long legs. But her face here – those eyes…that cloak. Beautiful.

Okay, okay…I promised this post for the men. Here ya go…

Anna and Elsa

They’re a team. A team of fabulous.

Belle

She looks breathtaking on a regular basis, but I’m saving the pic in the yellow ballgown for the costume post. This one captures that face. That face.

Snow

I was going to put in that iconic picture of her laying in her funeral bier because she really is just incomparably lovely in that shot, but I do love me some Bandit Snow, and dammit….I miss her. LOTS.

Emma

She’s got a thousand great pics, but I had to go with the red jacket. Had to. And that damn introductory dress from the pilot.

And of course, I have to end with the queen of them all. There just aren’t words for this kind of amazing.

Regina

Next up…a costume post!
