Would be really cool to see who was your famous role model when you were 18. Post a picture if you can.

I’ll go first - I wanted to be Justine Frischmann from Elastica - her hair and her confidence!

Wanted to look like Madonna, Elle MacPherson, Margaux Hemingway.
Wanted to be Shirley Williams.

Jennifer Lopez

I still want to look like her

Ohh I don't want to look like that woman. I WANT that woman. Jesus Christ. Yes. She was so goddamn sexy in that recent netflix film.

She looks a bit like Kylie I think

A little younger than 18, but I really wanted to look like Wendy James(Transvision Vamp) or Patsy Kensit when she was in 8th Wonder.

Yep. Did your hair fall out with all the bleach too?

Angel from Home and Away (Melissa George)

MissingMoominMamma · 13/07/2023 21:08

I wanted to look like Felicity Kendal.

lookingforMolly · 13/07/2023 21:09

Now I realise I did look quite a lot like Angel except with long curls instead of straight hair (I wanted straight hair of course)

When I was younger than 18, I wanted to look like Liv Tyler when I saw her in the Crazy music video. I couldn't believe it when they said she was only 15 or 16 in it!

NooNakedJacuzziness · 13/07/2023 21:20

Bit niche this one but the girl from the Hungry Eyes video - she 'played' a mean sax and had fabulous hair
