I am sure there are many contexts where "artist's judgement trumps everything" is stupid and wrong. In this case, however, it precedes my suggestions. DQZ's last word in 3... 2... 1...

I'm not trying to have the last word (and that's a real weasel tactic to act like someone's doing that, as it ignores the substance of someone's points). I'm trying to discuss. Why don't you tell me where the appropriate context is instead of just implying there is other context, and not stating what it is?

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

Well, the discussion at hand concerns an aspect which does not impair nor enhance the page image's function in any way. I discourage making polls for images—in practice it's kinda hard to make them "go together".

Here is my latest take on the image. I chose not to include current-day figures; somehow it suggests decadence rather than glamour. Yeah, there's Cobain, but he's a mythical figure already.

Nice mix of high glamour, sexy/sultry, badass, and cool, and I really like the way the pictures flow into each other either in pairs or singly.

It not only gets the trope across, it's beautifully balanced visually.

Yes, all correct. Except the last person is David Bowie. They all have their own pages in the wiki, apart from Edie Sedgwick, Jim Morrison (link to The Doors instead, obviously), Ann Dvorak, and Sophia Loren.

That's David Bowie? He looks like he got hit by a bulldozer.[lol]

Edited ^^^ to check to see if I got the links right.

Edit again. Ok, I had Kurt misspelled. Otherwise it's all good. I'll add it to the caption.

Done. Do you mind that I changed "nerds" to "losers"?

Nope. It has more punch that way—"nerds" is far less derisive these days.

I think we're good here.
