That you do not like they are role models does not change the fact that they are. Beautiful, alluring women have always been role modles for women throughout history.

She's supposedly been in a relationship for around 20 years with the same woman. If she's just now spilling the beans, I wonder if she was worried about backlash or something. I mean, she may be a role model for style maybe? Sort of like how Bettie Page and other pinup girls have a style that's taken on by the Rockabilly scene and other alt groups. I don't know. She's beautiful, even at her age, but wanting her as a role model when her big draw was sex appeal is a big no. Wanting her as a role model because she's a relatively funny, spooky bitch into old B horror films-- that's entirely different. Girls don't need to be looking up to sex symbols for inspiration, that teaches them that their worth lives there and it goes away as soon as they're no longer sexually appealing.
