i wanna be a super(role)model

today a friend said unto me the words:

"everyone needs role models".

and despite the fact that said friend was talking about his disturbing man-boner for survivor host jeff probst, he got me thinking about my own choice of role models.

now it may sound like a cliched answer to a beauty pageant question, but my role models are three strong, successful women who have struggled against adversity to make something of themselves, while at the same time devoting themselves to their children.

my role models are my late mother, my friend keera's mother, and my friend elo's mother.

i won't go into the details of the achievements of these amazing women, but let's just say that they are all, in their own right, MUMS WHO ROCK!

in a non-musical way.

oh, and also on my list is vanessa paradis. because she gets to make the sex with our johnny. and that's no small feat in my books.

i hope i too can be somebody's role model one day.

i guess i should start doing something other than wallowing, blogging, shopping and pole-dancing, huh?
