Jaymes how interesting to hear that Raquel had been a single mother of two when she made her start. I find that very fascinating especially for the times. For some reason I just assumed that she was discovered quickly after leaving school like so many of the other Bombshells were. Not an easy Journey for a mother trying to raise two young ones. Her strength and independence was a real inspiration to me as a young Women. A glorious Gal, I will miss her. By the way she did make me feel like a boy. LOL
Let’s NOT forget that she had a single called “This Girl’s Back in Town” which was a Paul Jabara single meant for Donna Summer (connection to last video). Certified bop.
My screenwriting teacher was a grad student at UCLA and wrote the first draft of Kansas City Bomber. He actually went to her house to give her the script. Crazy how different things were back in those days. He then went on to write Making Love, a very early 80s mainstream LGBTQ themed movie, and then wrote Crimes of Passion starting Kathleen Turner!
It was so sad to hear about Raquel's passing. Her beauty was unreal, and she had that resolve to work in the industry on her terms which was so ahead of her time. You are a wealth of knowledge in these Icon life exploration videos. And you look particularly gorgeous in this wig/dress/look!
Jaymes, was watching Wilma Fingerdoo last night. She spoke highly of you in the b who stole, and your wig styling videos. You two would be fantastic in a collaboration Love you most.
RIP Raquel Welch I rewatched The Last Of Sheila literally two days before she passed and was so captivated by her incredible beauty. She's such an icon
This was so incredibly fascinating, so many things i didn't know about the amazing Ms Welch. As a child of the eighties i mostly knew her for fitness stuff same as Jane Fonda, and only discovered this amazing history later
I remember hanging out with my grandpa in Los Angeles, and was shocked when I saw Raquel Welch walking about. I didn’t want to invade her privacy, so I was just content to see her from afar. But my grandpa just suddenly yelled “Raquel!” And she came right up to us with a smile! It turns out they went to the same high school and college! When they were done catching up, I asked my grandpa what she was like when she was younger. He said “She was one of the smart ones. Certainly got better grades than me. I was surprised to see her in films. I think Hollywood wasn’t ready for a woman who can do-it-all like her though. She should have been more successful.”
Oh yes, MaMa! Raquel Welch was uniquely stunning who's beauty was unparalleled. She had a part as a super sexy space alien on Mork and Mindy back in the day and she was Everything! Strangely, I always think of Stockard Channing in conjunction with Raquel Welch probably because she's also very beautiful . . . a runner-up, if you will. As always, Jaymes, my Diva ~ you slay. CHEERS!💋
I always remember her from the episode of Sabrina the teenage witch where she guest stars as one of her aunts who lived in a fabulous realm and had a bunch of magic doors that lead to portals like one which was called the hall of gratuitous praise where the people inside the portal would just cheer and praise you
Love this series! Especially all the info on these fabulous starlets!!! It would be cool to see you recreate (and educate) looks from -Linda Ronstadt, Lilian Gish, Clara Bow, or Natalie Wood (especially looks from the movie the great race)
Jaymes my Queen you did a gorgeous job on this wig, looks just like Raquel's hair!!! You are truly a master at your art dear! Much love to you and Ernie! I heard you say thank you for my super thanks to you, totally awesome!
Always a great time watching a new installment of this series, not sure if you'd dabble in more contemporary personalities, but you did Beyoncé, so maybe Lana Del Rey for a future episode?
Anyone who hasn't seen Fantastic Voyage, it's a MUST SEE. An unusual premise, and for 1966... the special effects were very expensive and state of the art for it's day. It's a GREAT movie... I wouldn't classify it as "Schlock".... I reserve that distinction for movies like "Empire Of The Ants" (Which starrred Joan collins) or Lost in Space's "Vegetable rebellion" episode.
Jaymes, I absolutely j'adore this series and the other one, "Iconic Blondes"! I love the amount of time, research, and respect that you and your team put into these series!!! I have a suggestion though for this series "Iconic Brunnettes" and that would be Mrs. Rita Hayworth!!! I love everything she's done and it would be interesting to see her iconic hair style done by you and to hear about her career and life!! Props to yah MAMA!!! Keep up the good work, being iconic yourself and also am SOOOOO glad to see you back on RPDR AS8!!! 💋 💋 💋 💋 💋 💋
So, this is the perfect slice of Jaymes. Doing a wig and informing the audience about a person and their life/career. This is a great niche and very watchable! Mae West, Katherine Hepburn, Sophia Loren- Famous Wigs of Famous Women!
She’s not a brunette, but I would LOVE to see a Jan Crouch inspired wig. She was like my dream come true when I was a kid. She had the hair I always wanted for a doll, big, pink, and long.
What a great tribute to Raquel Welch. Myra Breckinridge is such a strange movie but one of my favorites. And Raquel Welch’s performance in it is one of the most underrated comedic performances of all time. She’s so funny in it even when nothing funny’s really happening. She has this bitchy energy and delivers all her lines ( and she has a LOT of monologues) with this weird intonation that makes everything she says funny even when it really isn’t.
Sofia Loren would be my suggestion for an iconic brunette. Also thank you for creating your videos, your channel is one of my favorites, I binge watch all the time and can’t think of a single episode that isn’t wonderful.
20:12-20:16. Oooh I remember in a previous video of your's, someone commented that for iconic brunettes. You should do actresses from Mexican Cinema, such as Maria Felix and Dolores del Rio. Or any other latin actresses from old Hollywood
I love your videos and your awesome historical tidbits! I would love to see some awesome Pricilla Presley circa 60's glam! Keep up the videos & much love from Anchorage, Alaska!
Not sure if it’s been recommended before but maybe a Fran Drescher from The Nanny look, she tired out so many hair looks there would be plenty to pick from

I absolutely love it! I was thinking about
1. Sophia Loren
2. Loretta Lynn
3. Natalie Wood
4. Cindy Crawford
I would love to see an Iconic Brunettes episode for Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopez styled after No Scrubs.
Let’s NOT forget that she had a single called “This Girl’s Back in Town” which was a Paul Jabara single meant for Donna Summer (connection to last video). Certified bop.
RIP Raquel Welch

So fun that you're doing iconic brunettes!!
Stunning!! And please do Mary Tyler Moore, especially her early hair aka 60s spray helmet 🤩... Love 😍👌
Yes, old school Mary!
Lynda Carter Wonder Woman lol You knew I was going to eventually start yelling that. Amazing video and a wonderful tribute to Raquel.
Jaymes, was watching Wilma Fingerdoo last night. She spoke highly of you in the b who stole, and your wig styling videos. You two would be fantastic in a collaboration
Love you most.
Love Wilma to bits. Terribly underrated kween and she's the first one I followed for RuCaps and RuViews.
Please do an Amy Winehouse wig recreation pleaseeeeeee
Yaaassss
Omg I’ve had a long past month at work, and this is the first I’m hearing of Raquel’s passing. So sad. I loved her work!!

FRAN DRESCHER!
Yes!!!!! I hope she does her next
The Raquel Squelch I made when I saw this video!
Hope you continue thrive Ms. Mansfield!
Great video Jaymes! I love hearing your knowledge as you style

I love it...I want one now lol...Joan Collins, Patti Labelle, 80's Cher,
Dark Corners Reviews had the best quote about One Million Years B.C. "Only Raquel Welch could upstage Ray Harryhausen."
i love his channel! found out about alot of schlocky classics from him!
I always remember her from the episode of Sabrina the teenage witch where she guest stars as one of her aunts who lived in a fabulous realm and had a bunch of magic doors that lead to portals like one which was called the hall of gratuitous praise where the people inside the portal would just cheer and praise you
rip. she really did have iconic hair . and an iconic wig brand.
Jaymes you look GREAT in that wig!
This is stunning - Raquel would be so proud of your recreation. ❤
This channel combines two of my favorite things; drag queens and old Hollywood.
Glad you are doing this. Ms Welch was a true beauty!
So excited!!! Love you Jaymes!!!
Love this series! Especially all the info on these fabulous starlets!!! It would be cool to see you recreate (and educate) looks from -Linda Ronstadt, Lilian Gish, Clara Bow, or Natalie Wood (especially looks from the movie the great race)
Jaymes my Queen you did a gorgeous job on this wig, looks just like Raquel's hair!!! You are truly a master at your art dear! Much love to you and Ernie! I heard you say thank you for my super thanks to you, totally awesome!
You look like her at the end!!!
I could listen to you tell stories forever.
Love these videos! I haven't heard much about Raquel's career post-Myra so this was informative on different levels!
Always a great time watching a new installment of this series, not sure if you'd dabble in more contemporary personalities, but you did Beyoncé, so maybe Lana Del Rey for a future episode?

I’m absolutely obsessed with these videos that teach us so much about history! ❤️
THANK YOU JAYMES! Just like your namesake this woman was underestimated because she was a sex icon.
Please do Theda Bara, Priscilla Presley, 80’s Tina Turner, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, and Dianna Ross!
I always remember recreating Raquel and Miss Piggy's 'Woman' duet on the Muppet Show when I was a kid.
I would love to see a Judy Garland wig recreation !!! Her hair is so specific and iconic
my eternal name twin, rest in peace
I'd be lost without your videos, Jaymes. They're so well researched, and your talent is so entertaining.
Annette Funicello- beach party days
Jacklyn Smith- Charlie’s Angels
Joan Collins- Alexis Dynasty
Lynda Carter- Wonder Woman bouffant
My favorite thing about these videos is how educational they are! thank you for feeding the children miss Jaymes!
The wig looks great and this is a good episode. I was crushed when I heard Raquel had passed.
Jaymes, I absolutely j'adore this series and the other one, "Iconic Blondes"! I love the amount of time, research, and respect that you and your team put into these series!!!

Lovely video/homage!
Might I request Annette Funicello?
So much talent you have!!!!!!
You look fantastic!!!!
A lovely tribute, thank you! 😊
So, this is the perfect slice of Jaymes. Doing a wig and informing the audience about a person and their life/career. This is a great niche and very watchable! Mae West, Katherine Hepburn, Sophia Loren- Famous Wigs of Famous Women!
Beautiful!
Love your history of great women
Shannen Doherty! Maybe her hair from Heathers
I loved when she popped in as Aunt Vesta on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Also, your "pack a lunch" line cracked me up.

Look at how gorgeous you are in this one! The Smokey eye/nude lip is killing me right now, bombshell!❤❤
She’s not a brunette, but I would LOVE to see a Jan Crouch inspired wig. She was like my dream come true when I was a kid. She had the hair I always wanted for a doll, big, pink, and long.
Raquel was also a guest star 💫 on an episode of Seinfeld 📺 💅🏼

I knew this was coming..... Or let me say I was hoping for this one. ❤️
Would Love to see a 60’s/70’s Loretta Lynn wig! ❤️❤️❤️
Sofia Loren would be my suggestion for an iconic brunette. Also thank you for creating your videos, your channel is one of my favorites, I binge watch all the time and can’t think of a single episode that isn’t wonderful.
I love her huge hair
Please do Iconic Gingers! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Sorry late coming to your content, Raquel was a legend.
I love Barbarella!! Coolest cult movie, since you did Barbarella/Rachel, do Barbarella when she got "busy" and her hair curled!!
Gorgeous look on you!
I'd love bobbie gentry and carmen miranda for iconic brunettes! love your work
20:12-20:16.
Oooh I remember in a previous video of your's, someone commented that for iconic brunettes.
You should do actresses from Mexican Cinema, such as Maria Felix and Dolores del Rio.
Or any other latin actresses from old Hollywood
Came here by accident, really appreciate the commentary and the knowledge and became entrance - thank-you!
ann margret- mary tyler moore- barbra striesand in 'funny girl' - ann miller
iconic brunette: jane Russel, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn

I love your videos and your awesome historical tidbits! I would love to see some awesome Pricilla Presley circa 60's glam! Keep up the videos & much love from Anchorage, Alaska!
Ru’s wig designer must also take inspo from raquel bc that wig looks like the one she wore in uk3 ep 2
14th Its Jaymes Mansfield, the One, the Only Original WIG Whisperer...! MWAHHAA! xo :)
Happy birthday.
Iconic brunette suggestion: Susan Lucci
ICONIC REDHEADS...Lucille Ball and Rita Hayworth
Rachel reminds me of the American version of a Sophia Loren. Referring to her look.
James what is this?
Brunette looks good on u Jaymes
Since you’ve done Usagi for the blondes….you should do Lita for brunettes!!! Or…just the entire Sailor Scout lineup!!
Not sure if it’s been recommended before but maybe a Fran Drescher from The Nanny look, she tired out so many hair looks there would be plenty to pick from
If you haven’t already. I’d love to see you do the British actress Diana Dors.
Please do Connie Frances as an Iconic Brunette.
I love it. I gotta try this but I may try to figure out how to finagle the hair line more to my liking
Aunt Vesta, eat your heart out!
Misty? "Play misty for me"
Lana Del Rey, Bobbie Gentry or Loretta Lynn would make for a video
I’m gonna throw Fran Dresher in the mix of iconic brunettes
Excuse me ! The Smokey eye should be you look forever. In love Bb !
I’d love to see you do Bettie Page, Diana Ross, Julie Newmar or Eartha Kitt, or Priscilla Presley during her Elvis years.
2 looks, Lynda Carter 70’s Diana Prince long straight hair and Wonder Woman Big wavy hair
I would love a Linda carter by way of Wonder Woman wig
