That's more people than fucking Charles Bronson killed in all the Death Wish movies combined.

First, check out this awesome post about Lyudmila Pavlichenko, a famous Solviet sniper in WWII. (The tone cracks me up.)

Which leads to... inspired by [livejournal.com profile] hungrytiger11 , I was thinking of doing a thirty-day meme about women. However, while she is just picking a new, awesome lady each day, I thought it would be fun to do that with a little more structure. Some possibilities for categories that I came up with were:

Best HBIC.
Best Nonaction Girl
Best techie.
Best badass normal.
Favorite girly-girl.

What are your suggestions, flist?

Oh my god, that's an awesome idea. *__*

I adore this idea.

Smartest? Best mom? Best friend? Best character arc? I don't know. These are the things that have popped into my head.

I don't think your link is working, which is a shame, as I would like to read about this sniper.

That's an awesome idea. And if you did it, I would probably steal it. Haha.

Hmm. If you're struggling to find catagories, you can get into just basic ones.. Best Blonde, Best Redhead, Best Brunette, Best Nontraditional. You could also include in it girl situations. Best female kill, Best girl-uses-boy, Best lie, Best improvisation of item in purse as weapon.

I beg you to put "Best female couple" on there.

So. Muthafucking. Cool.

I think it's unbelievably silly that the Soviets (as in, those guys we've spent the last 50 years demonizing) had women as snipers, pilots, and tank drivers while the US had the "WASPS" (which really just flew supplies), and eventually disbanded the WASPS when public opinion switched to thinking they were floosies, because, yeah, that's apparently more important than whether or not they do the job. It's not so important when you're staring down the barrel of a Luger and your country is on the verge of annialation, is it? Mmm? It's amazing the stupid restrictions people insist upon when they AREN'T about to be destroyed.

I love the idea of a 30 Day MEME for awesome chicks <3
