Role Models
The ever so witty and lovely Sugar Kane of (swim)suit issues mentioned the other day that you should pay attention to your own individual features when choosing your style role models. At first I thought I don’t have particular role models at all and I was whining about this at Sugar Kane’s comment box. But on reflection I think my style is highly influenced by a certain style type.
There are a bunch of women I consider extremely interesting style-wise. These intriguing women are all fictional, they’re slightly uncanny characters and they have outstandingly strong features. They all dress in black, they have an attitude to die for and some of them even look magnificent when kicking ass and running on heels.
I might as well call these characters my style role models. May I present: Catwoman, Marla Singer, Renee Madison and Irma Vep.
Before you draw any equals between me and my style role models I must warn you that my personal style is hardly as interesting as the look of these gorgeous characters. There are some similarities, yes, but perhaps I wouldn’t be able to pull off such a full-blown edgy look. Sure it would be fantastic to be an action heroine or femme fatale but as it turns out I have a loads of work ahead of me if I ever want to get my act together.
Do you have any role models?

Twiggy, obviously, because of her amazing looks. Audrey Hepburn because of her style. Bettie Page because of her great, fearless and a bit rude attitude and of course the greatest hair ever.
And if I have to nominate one woman I admire because of her work, I’d name Bettina Rheims. Photography is not my cup of tea, but I love her pictures and her ways to get there.
I’ve found Bettie just recently and she indeed has qualities I admire dearly. I love her hair as well, and currently I’m in the middle of a humangous hair-battle: to grow or not to grow.
And sorry, Mimi, that it has taken so bloody long time for me to respond your email. Sometimes life gets in the way; I’m sure you’ll understand. I’ll try to scribble something before my journey to Jamaica. :)
