I just didn't think much of myself when I was little or an adolescent - being someone else seemed preferable.
My early girl crushes - I think I mentioned this - were a whole series of brown-short-haired wiry tomboyish girls (actually, I think Marian "the girl with the dogs" in The Horse Without a Head was blonde, but she fit in every other way): Goth of Karres, Dido Twite in Joan Aiken's AU England historical fantasies, Petrova Fossil in Ballet Shoes (she wanted to be a mechanic or a pilot), and Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. You'll notice that none of them were the fancy-dress type ... .
;-)
So I guess it's not too surprising that later on, I admired Annie Lennox' boyish gender-bending look.
