8. Madonna
Picture this: it’s 1984. A guy is riding around in his Chevy Camaro. It’s probably yellow. It has the picture of a firebird on the front. There’s a guy that’s slicking back his hair or picking out his afro while looking in the mirror. He pops into the convenience store with his stonewashed jeans and he’s especially happy because he has those 2nd edition Air Jordans on.
Nothing fazes him. It’s September. The air has that slight crisp like a chilled apple. But the weather doesn’t bother him because he has his brand new Members-Only jacket on. He’s on top of the world. When he’s buying his pack of smokes at the convenience store, he sees a woman, someone calledMadonna, in a black lacy get-up and a jacket on the cover of Playboy. He buys it, thinking he’s seen it all, and then he opens the cover. Bam. Game over. Life changed.
Ironically, after releasing Like a Virgin, Madonna did the anti-virgin thing and showed up inside the September 1984 issue of Playboy. Few people have had fame and success like Madonna, though. Even though she’s at grandma status now, she is still the highest grossing touring artist of all time and has been nominated for and won countless awards. This is all after getting fired from Dunkin Donuts for squirting jelly on a customer. There are so many inappropriate jokes that can be filled in with that tidbit, so it’s best just to stop now.
7. Naomi Campbell
The scientists that built Naomi Campbell deserve a pat on the back. Give them a new car. A round of applause. Just give them whatever they want for creating the fantasy that is Naomi Campbell. She’s the closest thing to a FemBot in this world.
What’s most interesting about Naomi is the things she does away from the camera when she’s not making people drool. She does charity work for breast cancer research, promotes diversity in the modeling business, and helps to provide education to under developed countries. She also has a ton of fragrances that will never smell as good as her.
This of course offsets the numerous legal troubles she’s been in because of her temper. Several former employees said that she acted like a drunk uncle and beat the crap out of them. This has lead to some big payouts as a result. But frankly, after seeing the December 1999 issue of Playboy, most guys would probably beat themselves up just to get close to her anyway so it all evens out.
