Who's your role model?

[xNicolex]

Just wondered if any of you girls have role model's or women you admire and would like to look like? My role model is Christina Aguilera she's a girl I try my best to model my look on because I like how she's put together ;) how about you?

[Jazzy Jaz]

I cant really say shes my role model but I would love to look like Breonna Queen. She does makeup tutorials on youtube but shes African American so I can't quite model my look after her the way I wish I could. I have mixed blood but I look completely White.

[MissDanielle]

I have my favorite actresses but as far as my height goes and figuring out what clothing will likely look best on me, I've been looking up photos of Olivia Wilde and Kaley Cuoco.

[ringo]

I can't really look like her but my role model is Bae doo na (a Korean actress), her life and her job inspires me and she's really beautiful. I would like to be like her haha

[Lee Andrews]

I'm going to sound corny here but mine is my wife. She is always the vision of femininity whether she is in sweats or done to the nines.

[sometimes_miss]

After spending last night on youtube watching all of Shania Twain's old concerts and videos, I'll go with her. A better live singer there is not, and she's as beautiful as any. And still is hot to this day (well, not as much as when she was in her heyday254246, but still).

[flatlander_48]

In a word: Me.

[Brandy Mathews]

Lexi,
I agree with you, a very beautiful woman, and I love her music.
Hugs,
Bree :)

[Jamiegirl1]

I really admire Edie Lambert, she is a news anchor at KCRA channel 3 news in Sacramento, she is very pretty and classy, I try to look look like her

[Anita Lynn]

I don't really have a particular "role model" per say. but if I had to choose one I guess it would be any GG that took the time and put forth the effort not to go to walmart in their PJ's:eek:.
A while back I was "taken aback" by a younger woman in a grocery store, she was about 5'11" and slender (a gg) and had herself very well put together... Longer midi skirt that was loose and flowing, button down blouse ironed and (dare I say it) starched, a bolero style sweater and matching flats.
Quite honestly, I was mesmerized by her.
That was a look I want to duplicate, but I seem to be stuck on the slender part...

[Stephanie47]

Vanna White is 58 years old. I think she still turns heads in addition to turning letters.

[Hell on Heels]

There are many women that I admire, for one reason or another.
As far as a muse goes.....(and in my wildest dreams)
Catherine Zeta-Jones is a one,
And Karen Fairchild, from the band Little Big Town, is another.
Much Love,
Kristyn

[EllieMayxxx]

My role model is a wwe diva called Paige. Not only is she beautiful, she had helped me through some tough times and gave me something to believe in when i had nothing. The respect I have for her is immense.

[Wen4cd]

Bando Tamasaburo V

The reigning diva of onnagata performers. He must have a genie in a bottle somewhere because his elegant performances are the epitome of feminine grace and dignity.

...guess that's not really on the topic of who I want to model my look like though.

Or maybe it kinda is. lol I go through tons of white makeup. :)

[MarciManseau]

Mine changes from time to time, but recently it's been Jennifer Anniston - as she looked at the start of "Friends". She has a lovely face,a perfect slim figure, and she's a very good actor.

[AlleyKat]

As far as modeling my look... I'm just finding what makes me comfortable. My role model tho... I really have to say Eddie Izzard.

I first saw him when I was first starting to have questions about my gender, and here was a man, smart, funny, confidant. Wearing women's clothes. Not even trying to pass, just dressing and wearing make up because he wanted too.

[Giselle(Oshawa)]

even though i am old enough to be her grandfather i see meghan trainor as an ideal role model for plus size girls like myself

[Robin414]

I'm totally PINK!

[PaulaQ]

My Great Aunt Minnie Ellis, who's name I took as my own middle and last. A humble woman, she had little use for makeup or other things she considered vanities. (I'm absolutely nothing like her in that regard!) She reared her siblings after their mother died, her youngest sister was my grandmother. She was revered in our family, with nieces, nephews, cousins just everyone loving her because she had a hand in helping raise all of them too. She was a wonderful cook, she had a green thumb and could grow anything. (Again, I'm nothing like her in those regards either.) She had no children of her own.

But regardless of my short comings compared to her, I hope she looks on from wherever her spirit resides, and sees me with some favor, though I don't measure up to her. Few women could though - I take comfort in that.

[Jonni Lin]

I know it may sound a little weird but I have always since a kid (many many moons ago) loved Wonder Woman, I still do, her eyes are to die for. More then that, it is the fighting for Justice and being sexy at the same time.

[rockerreds]

Playmates like Gaye Rennie, Debbie Davis, Louann Fernald.

Also if I were female and 19 years old now I'd be a lot like Tavi Gevinson.

[Lily Catherine]

Quite a few of my GG friends (not even close to being out to them) as well as local bloggers on Instagram provided me indirectly with a rough gauge of current fashion and beauty trends. Still relying mostly on old clothes from the storeroom anyway.

I wish I looked like the singer in the below video. I only say 'I wish' because that's a physical impossibility.

https://youtu.be/ZJWye6vG3vY

[rockerreds]

Playmate Candy Loving has always been a role model for me, she's the kind of girl I aspire to be.

[Sky]

Hillary!

The Donald's toupee looks even worse than my wig. :tongueout

[sometimes_miss]

I wish I looked like the singer in the below video. I only say 'I wish' because that's a physical impossibility.

https://youtu.be/ZJWye6vG3vY
You list from Singapore; is that where the singer is from? I've already gone through Kpop and Jpop on the way to discovering more east Asian female singers. this one almost had me until the rap style stuff started (I can't stand most rap, it just ruins songs for me).

[BLUE ORCHID]

Playmate Candy Loving has always been a role model for me, she's the kind of girl I aspire to be.

Hi Rocker Reds:hugs:, Candy Loving was the playboy twenty fifth anniversary playmate of the year,
I had her picture on my tool cabinet for years, To me she is one of the most beautiful ladies of all time. ~~...:daydreaming:...

[irene9999]

There's a lot of latin girls that I wish I looked like, like JLO, Eva Mendes and Jessica Alba

[Vickie_CDTV]

My former girlfriend was my primary role model, as well as my mother.

[Jennifer0874]

Gwen Stefani

[Lacy PJs]

I probably don't have a "role model," but will admit that there are certain people here who I look at and say, "Wow! They surely can pull it off..."

Sorry, no names!

Lacy PJs

[S. Lisa Smith]

My mother who doesn't leave the house without full makeup even now at 89. She looks like she's in her mid 70's.

[ashleyjane15]

I wouldn't really call them my role models but I admire Jennifer Lawrence and Adele. Both are extremely beautiful and successful. If I had to pick one, it would be my mother. Not because of her look or style but just the way she carries herself. Her confidence and savvy is something I strive to achieve .

[Vicky_Scot]

My wife.

[Tara Rushing]

I don't have any one particular role model. Mostly just take cues and admire women that I see in passing at the office building or mall. The fact is that the majority of GG's are slobs (for lack of a better word). No attention to their figure or dress or makeup. On the other hand there are still so many beautiful GGs to take inspiration from. I love noticing the little things about them. Could be a mannerism, a piece of jewelry, a pair of pants, their shoes, or their makeup. The voice in my head just shouts "that girl has got it going on" and I file it away to perhaps in some way emulate someday. So many beautiful women of all shapes and sizes and ages out there for us to take cues from if we just pay attention.

[Sky]

Hmm... "role model" can be read in many ways. Somehow the vast majority of responses focused on physical beauty (I counted 24). Then a few on family. And then some miscellaneous including two cd'ers and a cartoon character.

Vewy intewesting.

[Chriscrossed]

This week my role model is Rey from Star Wars VII. She's a natural independent girl who can take care of herself and everyone around her. She's both vulnerable and commanding and she keeps her legs perfectly shaved even in the desert. ;)

Chris Crossed.

[Tracii G]

I love a lot of women and could never just pick one.
I do have one CD friend and she is so amazing but not sure if I could post a pic of her here.
She is someone I respect a lot just for who she is.
I met her online years ago and chatted a bit.
I found her on FB and we have chatted a bunch more. She is local to me and I hope we meet up sometime.
There is so much I could learn from her she is awesome and really talented in the CD art.

[Krististeph]

Perhaps not "role models" per se, but people I look up to in various realms:

For science: Candice Pert, with Marie Sklodowska (Curie) coming in second, because she failed to consider the dangers of the materials she worked with.

Models/actors (includes both roles and real life): Any or all of: Susan (aka Sigourney) Weaver, Natalie Portman, Emma Watson, Geena Davis.

Sports: Bonnie Blair.

Aviation: Christine Mau (picture below, in Lockheed's F-35), "FIFI" Malowchowski, or Jeannie (Flynn) Leavitt.

[Christina Alice]

Sophia Lauren - even though I look nothing like her she's beautiful, I'm not!

[Lily Catherine]

You list from Singapore; is that where the singer is from?

She's Vietnamese. I don't speak the language myself though - my mother tongue is Chinese. (That said I listen to music in multiple Asian languages.)

[brittdoll]

Princess Kate - Style, Beauty, and a Kind Heart are a pretty good trifecta!

[Jen60]

This surely dates me, but I'd say Barbara Hale as Della Street, Perry Mason's confidential secretary. She exudes beauty and class.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Jen:hugs:, No argument here Barbara Hale was Classic Elegance in motion. ~~...:daydreaming:...

[rockerreds]

The Pokeman character Misty is one also.

[CarlaWestin]

That's an easy one. Caitlyn Jenner (http://caitlynjenner.com/)

[KrissyP]

From the old school I have always been a fan of Audrey Hepburn. Elegance with a bit of whimsy. A little more current touchstone is Jennifer Aniston.

[OCCarly]

Diane Lane. I've been a fan of hers since she and I were both 15 years old. That would have been when she did the movie "Six Pack" with Kenny Rogers. A forgettable movie, but the beginning of an unforgettable career. http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/6800000/Diane-diane-lane-6819713-1600-1200.jpg

[Edina]

The young Kate Moss, perhaps :)
255461

[Krisi]

Role model for looks? Class? Female in general?

I have no single person as a role model. My role model is a combination of women, including my own wife. At my age and physical features, it would be pointless to try to imitate a typical female TV or movie star. My goal is to look and act like a moderately classy woman my age. A sister I never had, perhaps.

[Suzanne F]

My friend Theresa Sparks, the executive director of Human Rights Commission for San Francisco. She has been a driving force for transgender rights and continues to be an eloquent trans advocate.
Suzanne

[Stephanie Julianna]

When I was younger I would have said Doris Day or Shirley McLaine. Today I'd say Diane Keaton or Jane Seymour.

[MarciManseau]

Is she a GG?

[Suzanne F]

No she is a fully out trans woman!

[donnaS]

I too follow Caitlyn Jenner. Don't agree with everything, but she has helped with opening my wife's eyes on another transgendered person.

[Tonya Fox]

Clara Oswald, what a woman and what a sense of style.

[Judy-Somthing]

I always look for someone close to my look in order to get a realistic chance of reaching the look

[grace7777]

I cannot say I have a role model, but I have found guidance from the posts of you all on this site.

[AndrewJenny]

When I was younger, it was Nancy from "The Craft", Madonna, and Kat Bjelland from the band "Babes in Toyland" (still my avatar). Now, it's the unnamed Crone who lives simply and is in harmony with the Universe. As for men, I try and emulate Tennessee Williams.

KKat

[carliestuart5]

Stevie Nicks. Is there a song better than "Leather and Lace" to sum me up?

[jessica_brink]

To me it's probably Charlize Theron. I just love her look and style. She's very feminine but can still totally kick ass like in Mad Max. Yet I definitely prefer her as she is, feminine. Seeing her makes me wanna dress up

255889

[Bruce64]

This Woman dancing here, I can dance the same song exactly like her, take a look

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL3nCRBvIDE&list=RDIL3nCRBvIDE
Mamta Kulkarni

[suzanne]

Not for a specific look, but my newest hero is Jaden Smith, 17 year old son of William Smith. I recently found pictures of him modelling dresses and going to school in skirts. His sister reportedly borrows clothes from him. He is a true original, one who dresses to suit his own tastes regardless of the opinions he might face. Which, by the way, appear to be overwhelminglying positive anyway. I truly hope he represents a future where whatever one puts on is "Not a big deal" to anyone else.

[sometimes_miss]

The fact is that the majority of GG's are slobs.
I don't think that's entirely true, but unfortunately many women insist that how they look shouldn't be what men focus on. So they don't bother.

[Julia1984]

Robin Wright (the actress) as in House of Cards does it for me very time. Has anyone noticed how broad her shoulders are?!
Julia

[Nine]

There's a lot of reference...the most importante for me Faye Dunaway.

In France we have Audrey Tautou or Eva Green...and maybe the best of the best...

Sophie Marceau

255960

[TaraGrace]

Hmm, I would pick Liv Tyler for myself.

She's has a slightly longer face, yet very delicate, feminine, mysterious and beautifull.
Yet at the same time I can't place her in a batch of ladies and say she'd look similar to them.

I sadly can't pull off her pointy chin, but there's several features I might get away with if I try hard enough :)

[Robin414]

I can totally see you pulling off that look in girl mode Tara, seriuosly!

[rockerreds]

It was unconscious but when I was 11-12 years old my role models were Playmates like Nancy Scott, China Lee, Terri Kimball, Donna Michelle, Astrid Schulz, and Cavalier model Lydia Slone.

[rockerreds]

She came along too late- I was in my mid-30s by then- but Playmate Pamela Saunders would have been a role model for me if I had seen her as a young boy.

[Tina81]

Claire Underwood... and Marilyn Monroe

[Julia1984]

Tina. Yes!
We seem to be in a minority, though. I cannot understand why.

[ClosetED]

My idea of beauty and style is Christy Brinkley, Heather Thomas (Jody from The Fall Guy), and for classy brunette - Stephanie Powers from Hart To Hart. Lynda Carter for black hair.
Hugs, Ellen

[josie_S]

I don't have a role model as far as personality, although I sorta love RuPaul (as cliche as that sounds). But I LOVE these ladies for style and attitude! What can I say? I love buxom latina/brunettes!

259769259770259771

[PattyT]

Like Krisi, I don't really have a role model. I prefer being myself, trying to look as soft and feminine as I can. But if push came to shove and I was forced to give a role model I would say Jane Fonda. She looks good and always acts just so classy.

[Erin Lafleur]

I suppose my role model would be another CD known as Monica (whom I am only familiar with from her tumblr account). For me, she personifies elegance, femininity and class. She has a deep interest in vintage clothing and she is still quite stunning in more contemporary fashion as well. I wish I had half her clothing budget!

259824
259825
259826

[Natasha V]

Definitely Wonder Women.....I can still remember thinking wow I envy you.

[PattiMichaels]

A strange combination of fashion role models for me...Kelly Ripa, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, and Eva Longoria.

Almost forgot...Audrey Hepburn, too.

[NewBrendaLee]

I have several growing up there were alot of ladies I wished I looked like ,the one that was closest was a my best friends mom. I always wished that I was her. I just loved her smooth skin , beautiful hair, georgous smile and her clothes. I also wished that I looked like Ginger on Gilligians Island .

[Juliana817]

I find that my role models are not celebrities but rather regular woman.
When I run into woman at work I take notes and attempt to emulate their look in terms of fashion.
Oddly enough I have also tried to emulate woman I have dated in terms of hairstyles

[PattiMichaels]

Forgot Victoria "Posh" Beckham, too...

[Charlyne]

259917Mariska!259916

[Ilsa]

I'd love to emulate Nora O'Donnell

[Fiona123]

Jen Richards🌺

[AllisonS]

Allison Janney, Chelsea Handler , and a GG friend

[rockerreds]

Playmate/Bunny Kathy MacDonald would be one.

[Piora]

The beautiful Emilia Clarke. As a man, I find her absolutely stunning, but I adore her for her wonderful sense of humour as well as her acting ability.

[Eva Bella]

I love women who are really into fitness. I think that Ariel Gail is gorgeous:

262518

She's basically my ideal for how I'd like to look when dressed.

[prene]

yes I like Emilia Clarke.

but I always loved Julie Bowen

[paintmepink]

My uncle who is awesome and never misses a beat. Very funny and very smart. And he isn't even old.

[Meghan4now]

I'd love to emulate Nora O'Donnell
Yea, she is great.

My role model is my mom. She is a great person and very kind and intelligent. Also my friend Michelle, who is a good mom and wife, and I like her style, but I can't be that skinny. And my late sister who was a missionary doctor. And my brother in law who lives his faith.

See, my role models are models of virtues I would like to emulate. Now there are certainly lots of women that have great style that are inspirational, many mentioned here, like Nora, or Heather Locklear, but I think virtue is more important than vanity.

[NewBrendaLee]

I would also like to add my mom for all the wonderful things that she has taught me

[Angie G]

I have role models " Woman".:hugs:
Angie

- - - Updated - - -

I have role models " Woman".:hugs:
Angie

[Katey888]

Patsy Stone, obviously...

262894

Cheers, sweetie! :wine:


Seriously - Jo Lumley from 20 years back would be fine... (Can you imagine she's 70 now...??? Awesome...)

Katey x

[MissVirginia-Mae]

Mae West....
She just screamed sexiness and confidence, plus so sexy in those 1920's and 30's gowns....:love:

[ashley_addams76]

I may have responded to a thread that was similar, but Kate Middleton. She is so feminine and classy that she is also super attractive. She is an amazing woman and carries herself so well. Would totally love to dress like her and I try to, but it doesn't come out quite the same.

[lisa_vin]

Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly or any of three Jennifers........Love Hewitt, Aniston or Lawrence!
