I found this and was going to post on my own thread, but thought it could manage a thread of its own.

A female robot impersonator from the turn of the last century. From the information supplied she even fooled judges.

And if e'er you should come down to the village or the town, With the cold rain for your garland, and the wind for your renown, You will stand upon the thresholds with a face of dumb desire, Nor be known by any fire. What would you see in your proud land, Petrarch, If you came back again to Italy, And in the Garden of the Medici Could listen to the nightingale or lark And dream of Laura in the fragrent dark?

The obvious one hasn't been mentioned yet.

I keep just wanting to post art for Hajime Sorayama.

Later used for this Skin Deep collection. I haven't read it all yet and primarily bought it for the excellent Kathe Koja story, but maybe there's some robot ladies in there somewhere!

And I can't not mention Lady Armaroid from Cobra aka Space Adventure Cobra, although I know this may be a stretch to interests here.
