Who did you model yourself on stylewise in your youth?

[CybilLiberty]

her. Blokes in the pub told me I looked like her Plus of course, the ubiquitous Bananarama

eatsshootsleaves, they were very cool though [approval]

I won a Madonna lookalike and - oh the shame -dancealike contest when I was 13!!

got tix to see Desperately Seeking Susan out of it though ... and thus began my lifelong love of Aidan Quinn ...

OOooooooo... if you'd have asked me back then i'd have said a mix between Clare Grogan (am Scottish and small) Madonna and Kate Bush..., but probably looked like a startled gum chewing ferret in a hairspray factory...

Oh me too, I had a lovely bob. Unfortunately before I became a classy goth [cough] I modelled myself on her. One arm is still longer than the other from wearing bangles.

And my most embarassing Bob

Oh no that's not embarrassing! I did the Robert Smith thing too - sort of Fat Bob/Siouxsie Sioux cross (think slightly slutty cross-dressing Fat Bob)

Attractive or what?!

hohoholepew you just made me splutter all over the keyboard!! ah, the nostalgia!! and Bob's lipstick was just soooooooo cool! I still have nightmares about the fingerless lace gloves (what was the point?)tube skirts and silly, silly, silly quantities of eyeliner...

I still want to look like Chrissie Hynde when I grow up

oh yes, Madonna all the way, baby!! Tube skirts or mini skirts over leggings (H&M opened in the city I grew up in in 1985......twas fab!), fishnet vest tops over dayglo or black vests. And either black stilettos or black pumps. And of course black lace fingerless gloves

Teens = Kate Bush. Would have liked to look like Chrissie Hynde but hair straighteners weren't around then. Early 20s = bass player from the Bangles. Just the bass player

Morrisey

Robert Plant. That's fucked up, isn't it?

so fucked up that I killed the thread...

Beatrice Dalle - I wore lots of black eyeliner and pouted a lot.

mostly people in comics

I tried to look like Shirley Mansun from Garbage in the early 90's.

This is very embarassing for me and i would never admit is in real life, but . . . Courtney Love - I looked fab, much better than her I think . Had the checked shirt and cardigan wearing boyfriend too!
She looks awful now though!

tutu100 - Shirley Manson was cool!

Courtney Love

Then Drew Barrymore (I looked quite a lot like her apparently)

Awww TummyTickler, nighties as day wear, ripped fishnets and visible bra straps?

I still wear vaguely nightie looking dresses - a habit i just cant shake and big chunky jumpers - but no holes in tights and make up in all the right places now!
Dh refuses to do the cardigan though

Stephanie Seymour because Axl Rose saw her photo in a magazine and went on to marry her.

We didn't have style icons in the early 70s

Madonna during her slutty, 'needs a good wash' stage (Desperately Seeking Susan) was the look I aimed for - not easy to achieve when you are a size 14 and ginger

i preferred blokes styling!! Bit of Jim kerr, for the white baggy shirt, beret and leggings thing.

or before that, i was a Mod and loved Paul Weller's Style. have also been known to echo Jools Hollands velvet Jackets, and the odd mens pin stripe suit!!, all mixed in with wearing a Bob hairdo.

I'm still like it really!! Yet treating it with respect as a t 40 it isn't going to work quite as well.
