Mission: Impossible

By 1966 SpyWorld was such an accepted Fantasy-Reality, and the SpyFemme had become such an empowered FEmale Archetype, that this show cast as a reoccurring lead a WOman whose sole purpose was to use her FEminine Charm, Beauty & Allure.  In fact, the show promoted her as an Agent of FEminine Wiles, a concept that might be a little hard to follow these days.  WOmen portrayed on tv today certainly can be independent, tough, smart & sassy, but rarely do you find one whose main function is to play up her FEmininity in order bamboozle men on a weekly basis...

All the characters had specialties: the black guy - the gizmo wizard; the big guy - lugging suitcases;  the guy with pot marks - putting on funny faces; and the WOman - teasing, conniving, beguiling, manipulating men...  And what's particularly fascinating is that she's not doing what most SpyFemmes do, which is fool you for a moment and either drug or kill you... Cinnamon Carter spends time with her victims, and the damage is more than physical, it's psychological, and for some, perhaps, emotional... She leaves a trail of scarred men who thought maybe, just for a moment, maybe she really did like them and didn't really want to treat them like suckers...

1st Season episodes in particular emphasized the Beautiful Model / SpyFemme's Female Trickery Talents to seduce, dupe and humiliate the unwitting targets of IMF operations...
