:: "I must be strong"

So I was reading over at The Stiletto Mom a newfound love of mine and she was talking about a blog crush on Chicky Chicky Baby which lead her to stalk her a bit, and then take the Hello Quizzy movie star likeness quiz.

I am now blog crushing on both of them; stalking begets stalking apparently.

I took the quiz and was suprised at how accurate it was given how short it is (oddly only two questions). I wanna know what all my cyber friends are as iconic celebs, so if you've got about 3 minutes to spare, take the Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Or Someone Else? Mad Men-era Female Icon Quiz.

Then report back here in comments or blog about it so we can revel in our results. I guess I should've phrased that in a less "commanding" way, but instead of revising it, I'll let you read my quiz result and then you'll understand -- if my early voting story didn't give away my personality already...

Here's my quiz result:

You Are a Bette!

You are a Bette -- "I must be strong"

Bettes are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

• * Stand up for yourself... and me.
• * Be confident, strong, and direct.
• * Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
• * Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
• * Give me space to be alone.
• * Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
• * I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
• * When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.

What I Like About Being a Bette

• * being independent and self-reliant
• * being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
• * being courageous, straightforward, and honest
• * getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
• * supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
• * upholding just causes

What's Hard About Being a Bette

• * overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
• * being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
• * sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
• * never forgetting injuries or injustices
• * putting too much pressure on myself
• * getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right

Bettes as Children Often

• * are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
• * are sometimes loners
• * seize control so they won't be controlled
• * figure out others' weaknesses
• * attack verbally or physically when provoked
• * take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

Bettes as Parents

• * are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
• * are sometimes overprotective
• * can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

Hey! Thanks for coming by my blog! Glad you liked the quiz. I'm off to snoop around a bit here...don't mind me. I'm quiet and generally well behaved. Sometimes I leave my shoes laying out but I'll try to pick up. :)

Dang, so we have a lot of Bettes, a Marylin and a couple of tweeters told me (pardon while I hyperventilate that they didn't comment here instead of on twitter...) they were Katherine Hepburn and Grace Kelly. That's a pretty sweet group 'o ladies.

Hey, welcome over Stiletto Mom! Leaving your shoes around is totally fine, but if we wear the same size, you'll probably never see them again, hehe. I love your disclaimer about Google ads. Totally.
