I love all these people. Im soo happy to see Allison Harvard on this list. Please let me have those googly eyes! I agree, weird is awesome!
I think it's that they're more interesting perhaps? love this post :)
why are you only posting white women? you claim to be a feminist, but as common for many modern feminists, leave women of color out of the equation.
I listened to pj harvey once on an interview. she struck me as
a) pretentious
b)self absorbed
great selection
... reminded me I've got to check
out Bridez
street style:
what are you wearing,who are you listening to?
I always forget that Creepy Chan was on ANTM. :P
I sooo think the world of both Hole and PJ Harvey. And Wednesday and Enid are both amazing! Weird girls are the most interesting.

Kay is original, I've never heard of her before! Thanks for sharing the list...I'm a Courtney fan as well.
I think Tavi Gevinson would make a cool addition too, and the Daria cartoon which used to be on MTV
Looking forward to more wierdness.

very inspiring.

@ anonymous: isabel's list of all-white females isn't necessarily a rejection of feminism per se. there's a big difference between a list of cultural inspirations, and a list of feminist heros. i hardly think wednesday addams (a fictional character picked because she's she's quirky) and a black feminist like, Barbara Smith, are comparable.
if i were to pick my 4 top surrealist artists from the 1920s - they'd be all white. i'm not consciously neglecting the work of artists who happen to be coloured. i'm merely picking those that, at a particular point in time, appeal most to me.
there is a tendency in western feminist discourse to focus on white women . but i don't think this post is a reflection of this trend. at all.

I used to love Pj Harvey but she's really changed in the past decade.
PJ Harvey is the boss, and of course she dated Nick Cave
Oh ! I really love Hole and Enid :) Such a great post !
