I was thinking about gay men and their role models, and against my role model.... Gay men usually have extremely flamboyant-over-the top women or very masculine women. Like Cher (deep voice), Madonna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce.

My role models as I was growing up were Jenna Jameson, Sasha Grey, Vivien Leigh, Marilyn Monroe (even though all people like her), and Megan Fox, and Early-Madonna (she appealed to women in the 80s as well).

I don't really know if there's a correlation on who you are versus your role model.

Death of the Endless

Silly as it might sound, Marilyn Manson has always been my personal hero.

mine were/are

edward scissorhands, sweeney todd, ellen page, frodo baggins

most fictional characters

sasha grey is absolutely stunning, beautiful, and sexy!

I always thought it was kinda sad because I never had a role model. I didn't aspire to be like any person.

I never had a role model either.

My role model has been for a long time and forever will be Anthony Rapp, the original Mark Cohen in Rent.

I've always looked up to David Letterman and Tina Fey.
I guess I was a weird kid...

<<<<Her

Karen Carpenter.  I looked up to her and at times wished I was her.  Even after she passed away at the age of 32 from heart failure, she has been a favorite and I still sing along with her sons.  Her heart failurewas later attributed to complications related to her illness.  She suffered from anorexia nervosa, a little known eating disorder at the time, and died.

I have to confess to having a Bette Midler obsession in college...

I also wanted to look like either of the girls in the band "Heart", especially during the "Bebe le Strange" album period.

Models in Playboy and Penthouse also made me envious. The fashions when I was in high school were pretty sexy, and I went through that time wishing I were any one of several girls I'd see every day.

One time in high school, a female classmate's mom picked us up after a final exam and drove us home. I was fascinated by how much mom and daughter looked alike....red hair, lots of eye liner...they were nearly twins.
