—I’ve always been fervently attracted to women who stir
things up. The nonconformists, the rebel
bitches, the Goths, the women who are off their
bloody rockers by traditional standards.
Janis Joblin  Inkfrog.
Other revolutionaries merely see themselves in these women,
not what an established, dull, society perceives.
I never wanted to be a flat paper doll cutout. Did you?
I’m intrigued by women who fix their hair in beehives, have
Japanese tattoos, dress up in fabulous feathered Cher outfits, and wear cone
bras with black veils with lace undies.
Amy Winehouse
Women who know how to express themselves fully, and by doing
so, express part of who we are, as well.
Annie Lamott
I remember seeing Madonna on Bandstand in 1980
something. When Dick Clark asked her
what she wanted to do with her life. She
answered coolly and confidently and magnificently- “I want to rule the world.â€
Madonna
I knew then. Exactly
then. At that very moment. That’s what I wanted, as well.  The only difference is– I would have said
“I want to change the world.â€
The writers, poets, painters, sculptors, singers, jazzers,
reflectors, transformers, believers.
Yes, these are the kind of
women who change the world & make us observe things from another
interesting, sometimes uncomfortable angle.
One of my favorite wild women nowadays is Lady Gaga.
She will not go unnoticed with her bubble wrap, red laced
swathe, disco helmet, and meat dress. And with so many artists who’d love to collaborate
with Lady Gaga, I don’t see her losing steam anytime soon.
It’s all utterly grandiose and flamboyant. It’s all about expressing our insides on the
outside.
But women like Lady Gaga recognize that it’s so much more
than doily outfits and net masks.
It’s about making a difference and rising up when other people cannot.
It’s about making our voices heard.  ((( H E A R D )))
It’s about screaming out,
“YOU ARE  ENOUGH!â€
It’s about saying, “I hear you. I see you.
You are not alone.â€
I have a long list of these badly behaved women whom I
admire. All of them are unique, unusual,
untamed… but in complete control.
Dear Reader,  What kind of woman are you?

I am my own woman. It took years and years and years, and the love of an amazing Alpha, to find out who I was. Now? I love me. Icks and Yums alike. I am a non-conformist from way back, half a foot in the traditional world, half in non-traditional. I never wanted the norm, and I certainly never lived it. Now norm with Alpha is the sweetest place to be.
p.s. – LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS POST.

I have never thought of women like Madonna & Lady Gaga as women to look up to. In my opinion they are doing what they do for the shock factor….putting on a show. Not that I disagree or dislike them, I simply think their motives are different than what you are talking about. On the other hand though, I do admire women who want to change the world and actually go out there and do it…or at least make a difference. Those women are generally not profit driven as in Madonna & Gaga and it is those women who I look up to and adore. Such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Marie Curie, Katherine Hepburn, Margaret Thatcher & Helen Keller are a few of my favorite women.

I do admire Lady Gaga – my daughter and I were at her concert a couple of weeks ago, and she was amazing.

mamawolfe recently posted..Hang On
You. Are. A. Phenomenal. Woman Xx
When I was at university decades ago I got tired of male students asking questions of male lecturers and the absence of the sound of a female voice. I resolved one day to put up my hand and ask whatever question came to me, no matter what, if a woman’s voice had not been heard by the second question. I’ve been doing that ever since.
I’m a woman who stands for open communication, respect and freedom for all. By open communication, I mean emptying the “unsaid” and moving it to the “said. By respect, I mean a person’s wishes and needs are fully gotten, even if they cannot be met. By freedom, I mean being accepted in every way we are and in every way we are not.

The media was ripping on Lady Gaga for putting on a few pounds. She was like, “So what? I was starving!” I must admit I don’t listen to her, but I thought that was kinda cool.
But I know what you mean about these women. In a society that tries hard to influence us (especially the girls), these women stand on their own. Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, and of course, Madonna…they are and always will be unique!

Love when you visit my craziness
I love that you are more of a “wild woman” than me. I was a “shrinking violet” as a child. I don’t know what changed me into such a fierce woman with a cause but it had to have something to do with my sister’s shooting death. That unleashed something in me that I didn’t know I had. I know you were always an extrovert and willing to be different than I ever was or ever will be. Your sister’s death has unleashed something so creative in you that has led you to a different place. A horrible tragedy made you into a change agent in your own right.
I am watching my daughter go through a difficult separation that will likely lead to a divorce. She told me she has found her voice through the process of understanding that her husband, seemingly a great guy on the outside, has used his power and control to make her into someone she wasn’t. Getting out from under that has made her into a more fierce woman who is about to venture into the world of single parenthood but with much more confidence and pizazz. She is becoming a better woman who may actually make more of a difference on her own than with a man who tried to suppress her individuality.
Thank you Kim, for who you are and how you write. I cherish our relationship.

I have always been fascinated with Madonna, but became moreso when I learned that my grandparents knew her family and my grandfather actually went to the wedding when her dad married his second wife. It was years later before I saw the pictures on his slide reel, of a drop-dead-gorgeous little girl with a heart-shaped face and so sweet, giving absolutely no clue out what she would one day become. Fascinating.

Dear, dear, Janis. I remember her well. And Amy — “I barely knew ya.” Gentle, tortured souls, both of them hiding their own fears of not being enough in drugs and alcohol. While I admire the their talent, I don’t think I can put them in the same category as Gaga, Madonna, LaMott and the rest who are strong, fearsome women with no doubts that they are more than enough. I particularly admire Gaga’s message to that effect to young people and her anti-bullying crusade.
As for me, although always an “in your face” kinda gal who would be the one who said the things others would only think, it still took me to my forties to hit my stride in the strong and confident department, and another 20 to finally be able to say, “I am enough.”
You are SOOO Eeenough, Jayne.

I love a wild open heart. I love a face upturned to the sunshine of limitless possibility. I love a scream, I love a whisper. I love hunger, and I love struggle. I love women who look deep inside to know themselves and then be that woman, without apology, wherever and with whomever it takes them.
I love that about Madonna. I love that I can love that in her and not love many other things in her. Same with GaGa and other really public free spirits. I love that THING in them. I love that they can keep it alive in the face of scrutiny and criticism. Because that is the epitome of the wild open heart to me — that it stays wild and open no matter what the world tells it to do.

I have been both–the shy girl keeping her head down and the wild woman blazing her path.
I created a fictional character, Skylar, to embody this wild woman that we all crave/fear in ourselves. She makes her debut in my first novel, though I look forward to carrying her into the second.
If you are ever interested in a non-fiction read, I highly recommend: Women Who Run with the Wolves. It is more of a sociological analysis of the female experience but it is written by a poet.
