I went through a teenage phase of attempting Melissa AufDerMayer (can't spell it, would check, can't be bothered, her out of Hole), mainly because I was too scared to go for Courtney-bleach.

Now of course it's the red-haired one in Tatu, *ahem*.

Melissa was the cute one anyhoo.

Kim Gordon, Louise Post, Mary Timony, Billy Corgan (clothes-wise before the all black look), Patti Smith, (enter rockstar here)

When I dress down, I pretend I'm trying to look like Kim Deal.

Me too!

one year passes...

Tom's been after that Robert Wyatt look. I'm modelling myself on David Thomas, but without the facial hair (obviously).

Great! Two personal heroes of mine whose style I admire! RW is very beautiful.
I had some painful experiences wanting to look certain ways inspired by music figures when I was a teenager (especially). Painful because I could never get close. Partly because of my physicality, partly from not having the means or knowledge or whereabouts to be able to procure dress items that might've helped. For instance when I was 14/15 I wanted to look like Graeme Downes and other Dunedin musicians (and poets); but I could only find big adult men's suit jackets that were way to big for me (and yes did wear one to horrible effect). I wanted deserately to look like the small John from They Might Be Giants when I was 14 too. Not having small/flat breasts was a real bane.
I still sometimes think over people I find inspiring as public figures in that way of wondering if some aspect of their appearance could be somehow emulated to make me more comfortable. Especially in view of becoming older female.

Ian McCulloch c.1986.

I tried to look like 60s Bob Dylan in my mid-teens. My hair is just as curly as his when I grow it, but instead of looking all cool and bohemian I just ended up with a mullett - doh!

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 14:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Roxy, I thought you were about the same age as me... If so, I can only admire you for imitating Stray Cats and Madonna when you were three or four. ;)

I had a whole David Sylvian thing happening with my hair when I was about 15-16. Then I went all Liz Fraser and got about in big, arty, yet frumpy dresses.

teeny, i'd say you're pretty successful on all counts

i'm skinny and blonde and since i was a kid i've kinda tried to look like twiggy, though if I grew my hair I tried for nico. i've only fairly recently given up the masochism of emulating models. i ostensibly was just going for their style, but those ladies could wear a garbage bag, a diaper, and a mullet and still look cute/hott.

so now i'm just trying for cecil b. demille
