STYLE PROFILES: THE NATURALIST
Normally I don’t do fluffy at CP.
But there isn’t a lot of interesting news of any kind around today – and this just skirts the edge…
IN STYLE has grouped famous women in particular categories depending upon their usual fashion choices.
There’s the NATURALIST, the ROMANTIC, the TRENDSTER, the SOPHISTICATE and the BOMBSHELL.
It’s fun and rather interesting. I thought I’d just link to various galleries day by day…
First up will be the NATURALIST – characterized by the adjectives carefree, casual, comfortable and simple.
Included in this group are: ALICIA SILVERSTONE, CAMERON DIAZ and JENNIFER ANISTON.
If you’d like to take the quiz to establish what type you are, go here
It will probably come as no surprise to anyone that I ended up being a BOMBSHELL. I’d say that’s absolutely dead on.

i got the trendsetter label. hell that’s the power of computer lounging clothes.
ha ha..

glim, you constantly amaze me.
I sincerely thought you would be THE LAST PERSON ON EARTH to take that fashion quiz.
Well, it does makes sense. More sense than the other categories I would imagine. You might actually be ahead of the curve with your computer lounging clothes. That could be a trend that’s worth investigating.
glim, you should jump on this bandwagon before someone else steals this idea and makes millions off of it. Next thing we know somebody will be marketing this and it will end up in the Arts & Leisure section of the NEW YORK TIMES.
Better make your move before it’s too late, glim darling.
Well…
Though there are elements of my style contained in the ROMANTIC and the SOPHISTICATE, it doesn’t surprise me that I ended up being a BOMBSHELL.
What other choice could there be…?
*raises eyebrow*
Almost all of the women in that category are people that I admire greatly. Quintessential hot numbers, as my uncle used to say.

m., the quiz was painless. i got to wear computer lounging clothes/be at home and not have to take it seriously. so yeah it was a breeze and since it wasn’t 50 questions/i could handle it.
really i have no idea what/ whatever i chose meant/and i hate shopping in general and maybe trying on clothes a lot more/ in the uh oh no please no dept.
but hey i’m a trendsetter.
now, raise your eyebrows one more time !!!!
March 2, 2009 at 11:35 am
Bravo, my precious little glim.
So you’re hanging out in your computer lounging clothes and you get to be a TRENDSTER?
If you hadn’t been here, I guess you would never have known.
Being a regular commenter at CP must be good for something.
RIGHT…???
March 2, 2009 at 12:29 pm
anyway…
i wonder why is it i’m often so fond of females/well mostly musicans that have an artistic persona that’s uh harder to put into a mastubation fantasy/not close to being overtly hormonal.
uh maybe that’s utter lack of experience showing. but these traits always seems to draw me in more than the usual more straight forward she/he’s hot types that are everywhere/get pushed/everywhere. i don’t know.
gonna stop the press here.
i was gonna out myself and mention a certain female singer/songwriter/guitarist i’m uh still wowed by.
she’s soooo creative i saw her guitar set up she used at whatever point in 90′s. i couldnt make a lot ok of it. 9hmm i zip about this stuff) it’s her set seems way different thean the for the guy rock stuff i’m sick of having to endure.
hmm i saw recentish pic of here and she’s doing some live guitar stuff for an ultra legendary punk band. you the recent photo may not have been as just gonna absorb/get your attention as photos of her from the 90′s.
but i still can’t look away. i love her. i wish i was that creative.
*swoon*
the punk band she’s doing live stuff with is a bit more u untraditional than the stuff she built her rep with to me.
but i still love her.
and no m. i haven’t mentioned this person to you before.
and for some reason i love her when reading in some rock mag. that people aka guys were very put off by her on stage persona back away/ruined things for the guys that wanted to just look at her because she was hot.
that’s awesome. really it is/was !!!
again persons that seem to mess up the male gaze a bit works for me/so much more than hot. uh especially if they played guitar.
oops…
seriously m. dreaming about alba is sort of depressing.
uh yeah…
and maybe your novice/aka me will see a film by those legends you ref/uh someday…
March 2, 2009 at 1:54 pm
OK, glimster.
As for fantasies…
Well, everyone has those, honey. Romantic, sexual or a combination thereof. I’m sure men have thought lots of things from puberty onward.
And then there are times when guys beat themselves to death over some silly trifling thing that they’re thinking about. I think that mostly has a real intensity in the adolescent years. After that, it comes and goes. So to speak…
But I’ll let you in on a little secret. Women lust fervently too. And we’ve been known to let our minds (not to mention other things) wander more than occasionally.
For example…
There are times (mostly in the recent past – I’m in love now – but there are days, believe me) when I could think of ROBERT REDFORD or JAVIER BARDEM OR some sweet slender soft voiced boy that I talked to for five seconds.
Somewhere…
I can imagine entertaining him at chez Wilding in a glorious black gown. Presenting him with a drink. BUT before he has to chance to taste it, I’ll move in and strike.
I climb onto his lap and let my hair down SLOWLY. Lean over and kiss him gently. Let my soft curves rub up against his lean, hard, masculine physique.
Then I…
Oh, what was I saying? I got a little distracted.
Anyway…
Yeah, you dudes don’t have the market cornered on that action. NOT AT ALL. Imagination is a very powerful thing. That’s where it all begins.
So…
You never told me this woman’s name, glim. Yeah, I get that you never mentioned her before.
BUT YOU NEVER SAID WHO SHE WAS TODAY EITHER.
Who is your mystery woman? Inquiring minds want to know.
You are creative, my darling. Much more than you’ll ever know. But you never give yourself enough credit.
NEVER. That’s got to change.
And, as a male, you should see AT LEAST ONE FILM that all of the fabulous women I’ve mentioned have appeared in.
Just so you have an opinion and a point of reference. It’s good to know what’s out there.
Then it’s much easier to ascertain what you’re looking for.
And those are my thoughts for the day….
March 5, 2009 at 1:42 am
oh i got some fashion for you ms. m. insert evil laugh here. ha ha..
wow. how come you never told me this…
http://lioninoil.blogspot.com/2009/03/european-soccer-fans-forget-foreplay.html
anyway i’ll come back the question about pop crushes later. there’s so much to say/and all of it is embarrassing.
March 5, 2009 at 9:19 am
OH, REALLY???
No, that wouldn’t turn my crank, baby.
I like the most gorgeous expensive lingerie. I’m a romantic. I dig wearing it around the house. You have to, you know.
Would be a shame to waste it…Otherwise it all comes off so quickly anyway.
March 8, 2009 at 7:44 am
ok i had a very long reply. but i guess someone closed the window.
where did it go ???
so quickly
hmm the female was me.
hmm it was MARGARET FIEDLER.
she was in MOONSHAKE (hey they stopped being good when she left) and LAIKA (i wasn’t as into them)
read about moonshake’s eve luna cd here..

and blister
http://www.sendspace.com/pro/n12lgg
margaret’s songs were a bit less guitary than dave’s and in general moonshake were less guitary than the stuff i like/but i love this cd.
margaret’s doing some live guitar stuff with the arty punk legends wire. and i think whenever she did some live guitar stuff for pj harvey ( i thought pj always sucked. so riffy/trad and in your face vocals. but that’s what people want.)
so yeah m. ah that’s a pop crush for you. margaret sings on half the songs on eva luna and she plays guitar and other instruments on all the songs.
*swoon*
hmm i not sure how to place it because like anything else i seem to like, it’s pretty much devoid of this i’m hot/my insane/amazing sex skills persona type that that seemingly gets called ‘sexy’. uh really whatever. i’m passing…
so uh neither a playing up of sexuality nor a ridiculing of it either ??? i don’t any called this music ‘sexy’ thank god because ‘sexy’ music sucks.
too in your face too predictable/too trying to f**king hard. too lame.
yep i wonder is there a connection bewteen my dilike of ‘sexy’ music and being a virgin. probably.
wonder is there a conncetion between my being a virgin and any band/person i think was cool not having that ‘sexy persona’. maybe…
actually i think any music someone likes is ‘sexy’ or has sexy elements to them. or so that person thinks. ha ha…
yep i bet there’s some country music fan saying hey my music is sexy. it never makes the list. get the idea…
but really what gets listed as sexy music or as make oot records. uh ok…i guess i won’t be having sex. but hey as long as even those penis rock cds get listed as sexy. and you tell me there’s place in sex for geek and i don’t believe it m. not at all…
‘you see i think i found/the sexuality inherit in your sound/and you say there’s none/no sex for a geek/in rock n roll.’
(and yes i love slightly altering lyrics for the good of sexless wimps all 17 of us…)
hmm i like dave (of moonshake) stuff but he isnt quite a crush worthy to margaret.
the margaret era on moonshake was ‘first’ (ep) beautiful pigeon cd single (three songs /two of those not on eva luna) and the big good angel ep.
after that moonshake split into to groups moonshake and laika. trhe moonshaake cd post margaret didn’t have any guitars on it !!! (???) so how i was i to relate to that ??? and the dread pj harvey pops on that cd. so you know it hey chance i think it would suck…
monnshake is one of the few things i like that i think i can mention to normal people/alternative fans. ha ha…
bring back the nonorgasmic rock/ bring back the nonsexy rock/bring back the nontrad rock. bring back mixed gendered bands because they made the best music/bring back people that can’t ‘sing’
one day m. i’ll tell you about this band that did some recording i love. both versions of the band were yes mix gendered.
they had two male guitarists. there were some jokes that made it into print i remember from a punk/metal industrial guitarist that they couldn’t get girls.
(this was when he was still doing sound in famous rock club/before his band got the major label contract/and mtv play) and some record label guy talking about they were perfecting the ‘girls stay away from me look’.
and even worse most reviews were of the bad or mediocre or barely ok type.
so hey they were ugly guys/no fashion sense/with very non athlethic bodies/but they played guitar/put songs together like i never heard before (i actually think that’s true of most bands liked)
but very much 0% influence on indie rock/rock. i mean who wants to play in a band that got mostly bad reveiws(from it’s supposed subset/group)/made no money/and couldn’t ‘get girls’ and if played to most people even now it would just get labeled as ‘weird’/worthless.
funny that the drummer from the first version of the band came bcak to ‘indie’ years and years later with a big genre switch/change and hey and maybe he made no money but he did get to be hip/got got great reviews…
and the singer from the second version of the band next band was uh always described as taking the sound of very ‘important’ indie bands and mixing it with classic rock. and yep you know what happened. magazine covers/great reviews/making year end best lists.
yep it’s the classic rock and being ‘hip’ that does it every time…
maybe these sorts of changes are the sort that you hint at with your suggestions of style of dress etc.
but m. nah i’m more like those ugly guitarist that couldn’t ‘get girls’.
they basically never came back to rock music again. maybe they were unwilling to change (which i guess makes since because there is no substitute for guitars) or just unable to. maybe they just gave up. maybe they felt stupid for being old and being in a damn rock band and having nothing. i don’t know. but i don’t think either name popped up on cd again.
i feel like those guys. but minus the talent/creativeness and drug use.
i think they gave their best and got nothing. not even girls. i mean how can a rock band not ‘get girls’ ??? ha ha….
maybe they they didn’t have any other personas/music approaches in them aside from the ‘girl repellent rock’
i really liked their music and than i ran into the jokes about them/not being able to ‘get girls’. no wonder their music makes so much sense to me (and bores most people) maybe it’s just a scret code for guys that aren’t gonna have sex.
(and hate penis rock sonics…)
whay did they even make that music knowing that have/get nothing ???
maybe they did it for the ugly guys/bad dressers that aren’t gonna have sex. uh all three us or something.
shouldn’t the sexless have music to listen too ???
nah seeing what’s out there you know the answer is no. and i don’t get to have sex and i’m supposed to take the wrestler/oscar bait seriously.
uh no…

sort of fashiony ??

So sorry you lost your reply, my sweet lil glimster.
I swear. I had nothing to do with it.
I don’t know a thing about Margaret, glim. But I looked at some pictures of her and listened to the samples in your post. She’s an attractive woman in a very nonglamorous easy to take way. I liked the music too.
So I can totally understand why you would crush big time on her. Makes perfect sense.
Look, I don’t want to piss you off. I PROMISE.
But I used to dig PJ A LOT. Her music seemed very sexy and swoon worthy TO ME. But it never had any lasting staying power where I was concerned. So I got rid of the few CDS I had.
If I don’t want to play anything on a regular basis (either on my computer or on my stereo) then it either gets deleted or trashed. There’s neither enough room or enough time.
As far as sexy goes…
Well…
I do think a lot of stereotypical things are sexy. Or romantic. But everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) has their own personal conception of that.
Frankly, I think that people are entitled to their own private thoughts. As long as they’re not hurting anyone and they end up having CONSENSUAL sex with adults that they’re NOT coercing into anything that they feel uncomfortable with, then fine by me.
But I get it, glim. I DO…
I have a big thing for pretty boys. I love classically handsome men. Particularly blonds. Slender builds. But if he’s willing to worship and adore me (I’M NOT JOKING…), he has a wicked sense of humour or a keen intellect, that can be far more important than simply being gorgeous or good looking.
I have a really distinctive speaking voice. I worked in broadcasting for about five seconds when I was a kid. I don’t sound like any natives of my home town. Though I am often mistaken for a Brit, which is ridiculous. I speak clearly and you can hear the shimmering syllables. But it doesn’t approximate an English accent to my mind. Since I was a teenager, people always told me I sounded like KATHLEEN TURNER.
So mens’ voices (soft, deep) can really get me going. Depending, of course, on what they’re telling me. Hah hah.
I love a good head of hair. Beards make me weak. I’m a sucker for a sharp dresser…and one of the very first things I notice about a man are his hands.
I’ll look at his ass when I run across him the second time.
But all of that is just me…
glim, listen up. I don’t why I’m even saying this because you never do.
Glory in your individuality. Be exceptionally proud of the fact that you’re different. There will be some women (yeah, plural…) that will be truly delighted by all of this. TRUST ME.
But you’re going to have to actually make a tiny bit of effort and get some confidence. Yeah, confidence is at least 80% BS. We were talking about this before. But a LOT of things in life are completely lame.
Right…?
There will be chicks that will be happy to have you – computer lounging clothes and all. Your day is coming, darling glim.
Fight the power, honey…
March 8, 2009 at 9:09 am
Thank you, glim.
Yes, very fashiony.
You are your own unique brand of fabulousness, my darling. Sooner or later you will understand this.
That will be a red letter day on my calendar. Let me tell you…
March 10, 2009 at 11:29 am

Hey, not every boy with a girlfriend or a wife is a nuclear physicist or a European model.
Different sorts of men appeal to various kinds of women – and vice versa. If you were to say that only the best looking brilliant extravagantly sexy people got some action then everybody would be alone.
On the other hand…
There are some women *ahem* that have a lot together that a certain number of men find totally intimidating. It’s not all moonlight and roses, baby. Then you have to do some fast strategizing. That’s when the dance begins.
All I can say is: all good things to those who wait. But make sure you’re enjoying yourself in the meantime. Got to keep all those balls rolling.
It is the way of the world, after all…
You’ve got to give em hope, glim. Know what I’m sayin…?
