Style and makeup inspirations/admirations
From drooling over a character's dress all the way to practicing Siouxsie's eyes, who's got a head to toe that makes you go "Wow"? Whether you dress the part or admire it from afar, I'm sure there's at least one icon lurking for most people here.
Here are mine: Lena Horne as Sweet Georgia Brown http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...inInTheSky.jpg Traci Lords as Wanda motherfucking Woodward (Seriously, I mad adore her hair and I'm really trying to grow out my bob) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3610/...20cbb78676.jpg Well, Hatchet-Face and Pepper deserve a mention too. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DlqmuITb-t...0/Cry-Baby.jpg The Belle Stars http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OJxU1pG9Cd...ellestars.jpeg More in the next post...(Sucks to the 4 images rule) |

Anna Varney, she looks stupidly amazing. People can tell I kinda nicked her style though...and in clubs I get people coming up to me like..."OMGZ! you like Sopor Aeturnus!" and I'm like..yes...I am that patently obvious.

Yeah, she is beautiful. Don't feel too bad about constantly being compared to her; I get Helena Bonham Carter all the time lately, and I don't think I look anything like her. But some people will take one or two really distinctive elements and automatically jump to an association. With someone like Varney, you end up having to try even harder to put your own twist on it. |
