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


Traci Lords as Wanda motherfucking Woodward (Seriously, I mad adore her hair and I'm really trying to grow out my bob)


Well, Hatchet-Face and Pepper deserve a mention too.


The Belle Stars


More in the next post...(Sucks to the 4 images rule)

I honestly thought that they would all have hairfalls and such but a majority of them are actually pretty foxy.

Imogen Heap



Natalie Imbruglia in the Smoke video. Everywhere else she looks weird.


Patricia Day...even though I'm less than fond of Horrorpops.

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.
