10 Women I admire and Why

1. Wonder Woman - Obviously. Well, yes Lynda Carter of course, but the whole history of WW and how she came about is very interesting, she was dreamed up in 1947 by a gentleman called Charles Moulton, an inventor who also interestingly, was involved in the invention of the first ever lie detector. I think they may be connected in a small way, you know the Golden Lasso of Truth vs the Lie Detector? She was created as the antidote to a male dominated superhero world, and the intention was that she would inspire little girls every where to become anything they wanted to. So it is what she represents that I admire. Also, she has a great rack.



2. Barbra Streisand - to me is the most beautiful woman that ever lived. Even now I find her beautiful. I love the fact that she never gave in to plastic surgery and stayed true to herself. And she is funny. I. Flipping. Love. Her.

"I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven."
Barbra Streisand




3. Bettie Page - another icon. Fiesty, sexy, naughty. Love her. Plus, she went mad and tried to stab up a bunch of people because God told her to. (Not that this is funny or amusing in any way - it's just part of her story).

For years I had my hair parted down the middle in a ponytail, tucked down around the sides... Well, I went and cut the bangs, and I've been wearing them ever since. They say it's my trademark. Bettie Page

I was never the girl next door. Bettie Page



4. My mother - perhaps another obvious choice but I f**king love my mother. She's so cool and she is always there for me. She's beautiful and strong and wonderful. Even if she wasn't my mother I would choose her for my friend. Even when she tells embarassing stories about me or tells me to stop wearing so much make-up and let my skin 'breath', I love her. Y'all should meet my mama she's wonderful.



5. Jackie Collins - she taught me how to lust! She taught me about penis' and sex and weird things. Most of all she taught me about glamour! For this I will always be grateful...



6. Madonna - Her Highness. The light of my life, the one I love. There isn't much you can say about Madge that hasn't already been said. I know this much though, If I was, I would, if you know what I'm saying?

I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams. Madonna Ciccone

I always thought I should be treated like a star. Madonna Ciccone




7. Jessica Stevenson - Some of you might not know her but she has to go on my list for the simple reason that she is cute, eccentric and funny as f*ck. And she was in one of the best shows of all time - Spaced.




8. Bette Davis - what a face. What a bitch.

Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work. Bette Davis

Everybody has a heart. Except some people. Bette Davis



9. Joan Crawford - you can't have one without the other. Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? One of the best films ever made. The biography, Joan & Bette The Divine Feud is a seriously good read.

During Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?, I knitted a scarf from Hollywood to Malibu. Joan Crawford




10. Judy Garland - just because she was so talented and so f**ked up. What a tragic life she lead.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. Judy Garland

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul. Judy Garland

I can live without money, but I cannot live without love. Judy Garland
