Fran Drescher was an absolute knock out when she was on that show. She was sexy, funny, silly and sassy. I loved seeing her strut around in all her glamorous dresses, high heels and little skirts. Such a gorgeous lady. The Nanny was one of the many shows that helped me figure out at a young age that I’m very attracted to women.

I think the shows does a good job of balancing Fran’s sexuality as a lever for comedy and a thing that empowers her. The fashion and costuming has a lot of thought put into it which makes Fran feel so much more like a real person pulling these outfits from her closet. She’s not afraid to dress a bit sexier, while also maintaining a personal professional style. She’s not just some dumb Jersey bimbo, she is witty she’s clever she’s in total control of herself but doesn’t take life too serious, and the writers are able to take jabs when appropriate.

I wish we could see more characters nowadays like this. It feels like any sort of female character like that either has to be brainless bimbo the main character can feel better than, or total give no fucks flawless bad bitch femme fatale.
