[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 708396, member: 18958"] I am Sally Bowles, the character played by Liza Minelli in Cabaret. Here is something that I lifted from an article about the character of Sally Bowles. "Sally Bowles isn't just a complicated character, in all her craving for attention and validation and love and security while not knowing how to tell any of it apart from the other. She's a hot mess of a role to play." Who I would want to be: Lady Gaga. She knows who she is and where she wants to go. She goes with confidence, integrity, verve and creativity. She seems to be true to herself. She has a life of self-creation, self-display, and voice. She seems to be truly manifesting herself and building a life which is unique and meaningful. Lady Gaga has the same self-expression of Sally Bowles but she is in control. She may seek the same validation, love and security, but she seems to be able to exercise the discernment to choose just what fits and what does not, and go after it. She seems conscious and to respond and act upon the life events which she encounters. Sixty years or more have passed since Christopher Isherwood created the Sally Bowles character and in those years the potential for women's lives has changed in some ways, and in others, not. I am wondering if Lady Gaga was possible in Weimar Germany or anywhere, at that time. Maybe so. There were women in the 19th and 20th centuries such as George Sand, Marlene Dietrich maybe, who did live lives they constructed. But Gaga I love. These earlier women do not incorporate, from my way of thinking, Gaga's vulnerability. She demands to be seen, heard, powerful, vulnerable and in control. I love that. [/QUOTE]
