Meh!! I thought you were either talking about porn stars or providers LMAO

Snooki!!
Paris Hilton? Actress?? Really?? - O that's right she has a sex tape. Same with Kim.I get it. Makes complete sense now.

But Indira Gandhi? She didn't do nothing except implement policies that promoted corruption in India in some form or other and is still rampant today. Her bodyguard couln't take that shit any longer and shot her.
So we have gone from Amelia Earhart to Kim Kardashian........it proves our standards have hit rock bottom.

That's some pretty selective choices for "icons". It is almost as if someone wanted to make a point. Nawwwww.
If I were a lady that would offend the hell out of me. In fact it does, perhaps for the most part infamous would better describe them as a group, especially the more recent decades.

I'm not offended because I didn't choose them to represent me nor are some of the more recent any that I look up to.
I just feel sorry for the way the world is turning out for the youth today.

This thread says something about me. I'm not sure what but something.
On my wall to my left are a few photos taken of me over the years (my love myself wall)
They include two of the "Icons" form above that I truly adore ---- Audrey Hepburn and
Goldie Hawn.
FYI -- yes and yes but long ago and far away.

I have met and photographed both Fonda and Twiggy but not had any private time with them. Fonda and I almost had a fight over her war policies and Twiggy's managers wanted to tell me how to photograph her. As some of the ladies here will testify, I don't take camera direction well. With a Nikon in my hand I truly believe that I am on a mission form God.
Bad typo for the 50's. Poor Grace being called Gene!

and not considering how it appears or might affect others.

and that many are willing to accept less.

I know this is the humor section, but I really feel like I have to point out again that the original list was hand selected to make a point. Back in the 30s and 50s there were "party girls" and people complained just as much about the people in the gossip magazines. We don't remember the "Lindsey Lohan"s of the 1930s, but they were there.

Some examples:

And in the 21st Century we still have icons that embody grace and beauty.
Comparing Snooki to Amelia Earhart is disingenuous in the extreme.
I was looking for Jane Fonda...Is she in there?(I will look again) I saw a clip on tv yesterday that Lindsey Lohan is going to play Elizabeth Taylor upcoming Lol!!! WOWZERZ ! The whole bottom row is not much of any kinda my favs or role models..."Negative attention" that gets paid...Not a hater just think things went REAL LEFT the 2000's Lol!
