This explains me
To anyone who has known me for any length of time, it would surely not be shocking to learn that Annie Lennox was my first celebrity idol. It's because of her that I sneaked into one of my mother's friends' bathrooms and put on garish makeup. It's because of her that I went through middle and high school constructing an androgynous identity, and the rest of my life living it.
She, in many ways, could out drag queen most of the drag queens I know, simply because she really does play with gender to a full extent. Watching her age has been fascinating, as even when she bares her skin she seems remarkably androgynous.
Therefore, this video/mashup has me all atwitter:
I would not be the Denis I am today without my mother insisting Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics be a part of my life.
Also, apparently early on in her career she was known as the white Grace Jones, another person I adored and wanted to emulate when I grew up. She's still my favorite character in Conan the Destroyer.
Is it any wonder I loved Shirley Manson so much? Looking back, no wonder my mother wasn't at all shocked to find out I was gay. Idolizing strong female personalities and having crushes on Matthew Broderick will do that for you, I guess.
