Hey, what about Rousseau? What about Maxime? I can't believe Marc Jacobs is on that list and not either of them. What about Diderot? Diderot was awesome. And you don't seem to have any love for Antiquity! Don't you like any of the Ancients? Some of them seriously pwn, I'm telling you. And what of our friends the composers? Are none of them worthy of mention? And the nice shiny playwrights? Are you writing them off too? Your list is missing some seriously awesome and important people. What, was there only a limited amount of space? Did you have to shove the others of the list to make room for the fashion designers? What's up with that, Lolotte?
And you do know that certain of these people would violently disagree with each other, right?

OK, fine, some additions

From antiquity, I nominate Leonidas, King of Sparta
Homer, for being so homer-erotic,
and Horace, who was Interesting.

I suppose Rousseau can join. I've never read any Diderot, so I'll have to take your word on his awesomeness. He wrote something about a nun, right?

Giacomo Puccini needs to go in here, for La Boheme love.

And from a more recent vintage, adds to:
Eleanor Roosevelt
Hans and Sophie Scholl

From the contemporary ouvre:
Alice Temperley
Kristen Chenoweth
Anyone who can oust Bush from the White House

What about Socrates? Do you disagree with Socrates' pwnage? And Plato is awesome just for writing The Symposium.

Rousseau wins at life. Or death, I suppose now. Yes, Diderot wrote "something about a nun".....which I'm going to lend to you. And you will read it. And you will know why Diderot is awesome.

Puccini is seriously the only composer you feel worthy of the honor?

Yes, Eleanor Roosevelt and Hans and Sophie Scholl are good choices.

I wouldn't put either of the first two on my list, and the last is too hypothetical.

...And what ever happened to Brecht?

It's Gina! I found your journal!!!

We've had this discussion and this is so much fun to contemplate!! A lot of the people on your list are on mine, including the genius that she is, Chanel. Anne Frank and Queen Elizabeth would rank high on my list. Others would have to be Franklin Delano & Eleanor Roosevelt, Pablo Picasso, Abraham Lincoln, Audrey Hepburn, Martin Luther King Jr, Lucille Ball, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Nicole Richie, Rachel Zoe, and the list goes on.
