Why Attache?


Ok, so now we know why GLOW...but why Attache? At least at first, Attache didn't really stand out from the crowd in GLOW, she was cast as the tag team partner/sidekick of Corporal Kelly, a dominating heel. Only as that partnership faded, did Attache, the 'mean marine' come into her own. What made her so cool? First, she threw herself into the role, became every inch the mean marine when she walked to the ring. She also had a high degree of natural athleticism which meant she adapted to Pro Wrestling more instinctively than some of her peers.
Attache had a unique look, contstantly clad in camouflage outfits of various types, her hair cropped short, she was among the most attractive women on the GLOW roster, with an appeal all her own. Despite losing far more often than winning, she staged some classic matches with the likes of Tina Ferrari, Spanish Red and Susie Spirit. All of which I hope to look at in my detail in future. As a complete package then, Attache is my all-time fave wrestler, tough, funny, sexy, and very very cool.

Why GLOW?

GLOW, Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, even by Pro Wrestling's standards, was a strange show...a mixture of grappling, iffy comedy, and vivid color, it quickly became a cult favorite. Featuring a varied and beautiful roster of wrestlers, even today GLOW has a loyal fan base. The beauty of GLOW was the diversity of the women themselves...today's divas are too often from a narrow range of looks and characters...the GLOW girls though came in all shapes and sizes, and there was really someone to root for, whatever your tastes were.

GLOW focused on larger than life, almost comic book style gimmicks for its beautiful cast, and the girls relished their roles. For all these reasons and more, fans like me still enthuse about GLOW today.
