Oh my I am Doris Day! I an not THAT perky!!
Deja – I have been known to say to clients that wire hangers are the work of the devil!
Missy – I appreciate you coming to read and comment on my blog! You are special -please come back again!
Seeker – Have fun with it!
Clare – Doris is very nurturing and caring – it’s not just about perky.
That was nice and short! I’m Bette Davis. I like Bette but there’s a lot of things that don’t apply there. Oh well. You mean an online quiz doesn’t adequate describe my entire life? Shocking!
Yay, I’m Marilyn Monroe (note to self: keep away from the Kennedys)
Funny thing is I did a quiz elsewhere last year and that said I was Marilyn too!
I always liked her and used to have pictures of her on my wall.
I am an Ingrid Bergman type. Who knew?! She seems very mysterious to me. I must learn more about her.
Thanks Imogen, this quiz is very interesting.
Thankyou for the recent blogs you have linked to, the one discussing shoes, and the one discussing colors. Along with your blog I am very happy in my daily reads.
I am a Simone Signoret. Guess I have to learn to smoke.
I better do the test and find out! That’s fun.
