these are the women i want to be.

these are my favourite three females.

1. ellen greene.

the leading lady in my favourite movie/musical, little shop of horrors. she played the role of audrey in both the original off-broadway production and the film adaptation. her voice is something you either love or hate, and while most hate, i love. it's just so faint and ditzy and annoying untikl she starts singing, then it gets so deep and soulful as she belts it out. my love of her and this musical is the sole reason i was able to get the part of audrey in out production of little shop. she didn't really do much other than little shop, until recently she played aunt vivian in pushing daisies, the only tv show i've ever really loved, which is now sadly deceased.

2. liza minnelli
miss liza is, of course, loved by many. she's now almost 65 and still going strong. well, maybe not quite strong, but she's fucking liza minnelli so it doesn't matter if she's past her prime. just think of her as she was back around 1975. i think that her status as one of the greatest broadway performers ever and the fact that she's adored by gay men and drag queens everywhere says it all. i basically have a crush on her, and that's all there is to say.

3. clara bow
it's interesting that the previous two ladies, one of the primary factors in my love for them is voice. clara, on the other hand, was a silent film star. but she didn't need a voice to get the message across, her movements and expressions were enough. she was pretty much the iconic face of the '20s flapper era, as well as the original "it" girl (the term originating from her movie of the same name). my love for her is only accentuated by the fact that she, too, had curly red hair. her red was henna, but still.
