I was sad to read of the passing of Honor Blackman. I’m sure for a good number of my readers her role as the powerful leather clad Cathy Gale was a big influence on their early femdom fantasies. The original Avengers series was way before my time, but I remember catching re-runs in the 80’s and being captivated by her. Seeing her as the feisty but ludicrously named Pussy Galore in Goldfinger created a similar reaction.
I was originally going to feature a photograph of her in the classic Avengers leather suit. Then I stumbled on the beautiful shot below. Thanks for everything Honor.
Indeed! What a positive lady she was. I have a copy of her book ‘Honor Blackman’s Book of Self Defence’
There are not many in the acting profession could write such a book …
I knew she’d trained in Judo, but hadn’t realized she’d written a book on self-defense. That’s awesome. Great actress and obviously an amazing lady.
Cheers to a life well lived!

Well if you give me a suitable email address which accepts attachments, I can send you the cover photograph – but even better, photographs inside with the lady herself in action.
She definitely looks awesome …
I’d love to see them if you’ve got them to hand. My regular email address is paltego@gmail.com
Thanks!
