Take the Proust Questionnaire generated by Vanity Fair for years...

[nomaco-10]

and see what famous person you match up with. It's been around for years, and is somewhat interesting and self exposing. It's vapid and self serving, but what the hell.

My closest three celebrities were, number one, Yoko Ono, then a close second, Allen Ginsberg, with Jane Goodall coming in a close third.

Just be honest and let the chips fall where they may. According to the site,some people taking the test thought themselves "liberal" while being matched up with karl rove and ronald reagan. There were self proclaimed liberals that were incredulous when they scored kkkarl rove and sarah palin results. JUST BE HONEST.

1. Vanity Fair - not Vogue.

I subscribe to VF. I would never subscribe to Vogue.

just sayin'

[nomaco-10]

2. Thank you luv, you are correct. Sorry, Also....

I should add that it took me a good 20 minutes to take it. I was surprised that some of the questions stumped me, but I still took the time to answer them from the heart and mind.

[patrice]

3. hmmmmm, I was just contemplating the following Proust quote for my new sig

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes."

4. That link didn't work for me. This one did....

http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/proust-questionnaire

Ermmm....almost a 98% match with Conan O'Brien, over 75% with Jack Lemmon. Very strange. :shrug:

[Libertas1776]

7. I call bullshit

on that test. It says I ranked #1 with Karl fucking Rove!!! Exsqueeze me? A baking powder? Karl Rove?!!!

So evidently Karl Rove despises Republicans, hates when people lie, his favorite historical figure is Franklin D. Roosevelt, and he loves to cuddle up with a good book, 'cause that's what I put down (Yeah, I'm a softie for a good read)

I guess turd blossom is just a big ol' teddy bear who loves barefoot walks on the beach, green tea with jasmine, and watching Lifetime when he isn't too busy...ya know...conspiring with pure evil.

[MissMarple]

10. KKKarl...a big softy liberal....who knew.

:) I feel your pain.

I don't know much about O'Brien, but I have always liked Jack Lemmon's movies. And they both have a sense of humor.

But the KKKarl thing....eewwwww.

[Libertas1776]

11. Ugh, I would have killed to get

Jack Lemmon or hell, even O'Brien. I think my number 2 was Barbara Walters. Don't really understand that one either. My only consolation is that at about 60-70% I was the same as George Carlin. At least I can find solace in that. :)

[nomaco-10]

18. You might want to rethink a great many isssues, or.....

at least weigh in on the bullies and cowards thread. Just sayin' darlin', that's all.

[Libertas1776]

20. I think KKKarl Rove may want to rethink a great many issues

'cause evidently he's going soft. :silly:

[Staph]

5. Donna Karan - 95%

KKKarl Rove - 77%
Joan Didion - 71%


I think I'll just kill myself now....


;)

[Libertas1776]

8. You're lucky

I got 98% KKKarl Rove. WTF!!! :shrug:

[underseasurveyor]

6. My top three are

Annette Bening 91.94% :thumbsup:

Timothy Leary 87.85% :spray:

Giorgio Armani 73.92 :shrug:

Gads the forth one is kkkarl rove at 63.96% :puke: I feel so violated and dirty now. WHY did I have to look:cry:

[vixengrl]

9. I was most like Sting & Ray Charles, with Lagerfeld third.

I kind of like that the people I matched up with were creative, still more that two were musical--I sing and write a bit. Lagerfeld I probably match with because I am vain. But otherwise, I don't even like Lagerfeld--he's a fat-phobic fur-fascist (alleged). And I'm a fat person who likes animals.

[nomaco-10]

19. I'm kinda envious of your outcome really.....

but then again, it's probably a bunch of bullshit. But, then again, who knows? It is a fun diversion in any case.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

12. Jane Goodall. And...Barbara Walters???

[alfredo]

13. John Wayne Gacy, Caligula, and Carrot top. Carrot top? Aw come on! Carrot top?

;-)

[Warpy]

14. Gawd, paint me red and call me Jane Fonda

I think hers was about the closest.

[Waiting For Everyman]

15. 1) Johnny Cash, 2) Oscar de la Renta, 3) Quincy Jones

All guys... but I'm not.

Very interesting test, thanks. :)

[spoony]

16. I got Oscar, too.

But he was second behind Kirk Douglas. Geez you must be cool to get Johnny and Quincy! :)

[Luminous Animal]

17. 97.24% Joan Didian.

I can live with that.

77.81 Oscar de la Renta
71.49 Bobby Short

[XemaSab]

21. Joan Collins and Larry King

:P

[hyphenate]

22. With a comparable score of 91.77%

Aretha Franklin matches up with me. David Mamet came in second, but it was only 79%.
