From: Caro.PA@Xerox.ARPA "I am dismayed to find that role models for girls have regressed to self-indulgent, "material" personalities like Madonna, Brooke Shields, and Cindi Lauper" Anyone who would class Cyndi Lauper with Madonna and Brooke simply has not taken the time to find out what Cyndi Lauper is all about. In short, I will assert (and will gladly defend the assertion) that Cyndi Lauper is one of the most positive role models -- for men OR women, young OR old -- of the decade. She is also one helluva singer! To get more topical: I have said before, and I will say again, that I think Sigourney Weaver would make a great Cirocco (or however you spell that damnable wind!) in the movie version of Titan/Wizard/Demon. This despite the fact that Sigourney has been a one big dissappointment after another since Alien (in both "The Year Of Living Dangerously" and "Ghostbusters" she is on stage for stereotypical "love interests" -- she hasn't had a good role since Alien, while Meryl Streep, on the other hand, has had her pick of the best.)
