Love & love & love,
Follow me on Twitter! Listen to my latest podcast! Love & Sequins 9: Manifesting & magic-making!
Eee! I’m loving these contests! Thank you so much for organising them, it’s seriously awesome.
My favourite Virgo is my dad. He’s all kinds of lovely, and after a cancer scare earlier this year, I’m even more grateful that he’s still well and cheerful. I love him to pieces, it’ll be wonderful to go and stay with him and my younger sister for a week over Christmas. Aww…
GALA DARLING, OBVIOUSLY!!
But otherwise:
My dear friend hori: photographer/doll-lover (http://koganemouche.deviantart.com/), artist (http://psyence-kyo.deviantart.com/), and incredibly nutty friend.
I’ve known her for around a decade now. Every time we see each other in person it’s in a different city on a different continent (first it was London, England; then Tokyo, Japan; most recently Toronto, Canada).
She’s creative, spastic, always changing her hair colour, she parties with Japanese rock stars, and she once saved my life. I love her to itty bitty pieces. ♥ ♥
I have to say, my mummy. She’s hilarious, has the best taste in movies and clothes, is an inspiring artist, is TOTALLY supportive of whatever crazy path I choose, and is my bestest friend ever.
Haha— As much as I love you and your site, Gala,
my favorite Virgo is and will always be my mother. Because even though she’s overprotective, I still love her. We’re best friends. She works so hard, and then still finds time to bake Christmas cookies with me!
Second and Third would be my friends Jenn and Rachel.
My favorite Virgo is my dad. He’s my best friend in the whole world and I call him obsessively every day simply because he understands how crazy I am! That and he has always been so super supportive of me no matter what decision I make. He reads my blog and always writes me long emails about what he thought of my articles, he was really excited when I decided to switch my major to journalism, and he spoiled me as a child..BADLY. Yet I was always a socially awkward kid and did not have a boyfriend until college—in the meantime my dad was always the one to take me to movies, museums, and festivals. I only saw him on the weekends but he worked really hard to make my weekends special. He also encouraged me in my education and we played trivia pursuit endlessly. I don’t know if I would be the girl I am today if it wasn’t for my dad. He is the greatest man I will ever know.
Obviously! Wonderful you & Nubby! I really do wish I had you guys as close friends :)
But my boyfriend remains my favorite Virgo :) he’s really sweet, romantic and loyal, wild, a videogame addict, artistic, and he’s hilarious :)
It’s such a toss-up between Pee Wee Herman and Elvis Costello. Oh god, and STEPHEN KING!
Gala and Nubby, of course!
But also my lovely friend Caitlin. We met this year in my environmental studies class and instantly bonded while debating :).
And as far as famous Virgos go…there are too many to choose from!
Hmm. I don’t know if I can pick just one (as Virgos are awesome — but you already know that).
My dream Virgo dinner party:
Buddy Holly
Twiggy
Stephen King
Hugh Grant
My favorite Virgo (besides Gala and Nubby, of course) is my best friend Alyssa. We’ve known each other for about 12 years now and they have been fabulous. She always knows how to make me feel better (long island ice teas and cosmos and coffee house dance parties after a breakup) and she accompanies me to virgo extravaganzas 4 hours away from home. She and I can sit and be silly together and laugh about nothing (case in point: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH_Bm4…). She and I lived together for 2 summers while working at a summer camp and they were probably the best summers of my life. She’s also the one who introduced me to this blog! I love love love love love this girl. XD
Besides y’all, Jimmy Fallon! I’m a little embarrassed but when I was about 13, I had THE biggest crush on him. Witty, funny, cute, I knew what was up. I even had a Jimmy Fallon light switch (still there ‘til this day). I met him once. He had no idea how much I was in love with him.
Well, my best friend is a virgo and I love her for her great humour and all the fun times we had together!
Ooh i can name up some famous celebs ( ;)like you ) but the Virgo i know the best and rocks my stars is Linda Starlight www.lindawillemszoon.nl/ We met in school almost 10 years ago she was standing next to my toiletdoor and told me my pee made the most terrific noise aka melody. I know kind of weird eh, i was a bit flabbergasted by her confession but we hung out and seem to love the same music, boys and fashion. Occasionally we came to school looking at one another in shock as we were dressed in the same colors or clothes (hear hear virgo power!) or called each other on the phone when we were just thinking about each other or listening to Billy Corgan (teen idol) I miss her! Afther school we both attended different artschools and we kinda went our own ways. But we found away to still keep in contact and our virgo-star-power will never stop shining. We cried this summer drinking coffee, unhappy with our love lifes it was great bonding again. She is my Virgo Witch with great advices, crazyness, gorgeous long locks and just a great friend.
My father, because he’s always been there for me, he’s really sweet and funny :D
My fav Virgos are every Virgo in the world. Expecially those I don´t know yet, but someday I maybe and hopelly will. :)
Other than you & Nubby?
MICHAEL JACKSON!
My boyfriend is my favourite Virgo because… I just love him! He’s a typical Virgo in that he’s very intelligent, logical, and straight-thinking, with an amazing memory! He perfectly complements my Cancerian tendency to be over emotional, moody and forgetful…
My friend Piney, because I have only known him since I have been with my boyfriend, but in these past 18 months he can ALWAYS cheer me up, and once I’m in a grump that is quite a difficult trick! He is funny and always tries to go drink for drink with me, without knowing I switch vodka and orange for plain orange after 2 drinks, whilst he keeps drinking! He will always dance with me when my other friends are being boring and he is just generally ace!
Sunshine & Sparkles!
xxxx
It would be a little repetetive if I said “Gala and Nubby” (Though you two definitely are around the top of the list), so I’ll have to say Tim Burton! The runner-up to him would have to be Stephen King. Droool.
Oh, unfortunately I don’t have any good friends or family that are Virgos, so I’ll have to say that my favorite is Ingrid Bergman! She was iconic (starring opposite Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca!), beautiful, and gracious (just like you and Nubby)!
I’ve just realised I barely know any Virgos in real life, so aside from yours and Nubby’s gorgeous selves, I think my favourite Virgo has to be Stephen Fry. I can watch any TV show he’s on and enjoy it, his blog is a great and hugely entertaining read and his books are simply amazing!
There are few people in the media these days who are as intelligent, thoughtful and downright hilarious as he is, and although I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting him in person, people who have all say he’s fabulously down-to-earth and a really nice guy. He certainly seems that way on Twitter!
Thank you Gala for giving me an excuse to enthuse about one of my heroes!
Ha! My favorite Virgo is myself! Born on September 13th. Who wouldn’t love to be a Virgo and be in such a great company? I used to despise being a Virgo but I learnt to love it. Especially that there’s a major mess in my horoscope and it seems that except being a Virgo and therefore being an exceptional, one of a kind person, I am even more unique! I have to love it, if even stars and planets say I’m awesome!;)
OH and also Queen Elizabeth I, she was just fantastic – powerful, fiery haired and terrifying. Judi Dench’s portrayal of her in Shakespeare In Love is my nomination, just brilliant!
Oh, oh! Here’s another one!
BARRY WHITE! Yes! :D
Neil Cicierega. He is by far my favorite musician, and his music sort of pulled me out of my super-angsty-highschooler phase a few years ago. Also he is just pretty cool.
(I am my next favorite Virgo. Hahaha maybe not really. I am a Virgo though!)
My Darling new husband!!
He is the most fantastic Virgo I have ever met. It wasn’t too long into our first date that I thought ‘uh oh, I am not prepared for this’, then proceeded to fall madly in love with him. I didn’t go home until four days later and now three years and a wedding later it feels like our first date has never ended.
It is difficult to write this because words are simply not enough to describe how disgustingly fantastic he is in every single way. He loves me for who I have been, who I am and who I will become and makes me feel completely comfortable in discovering and being exactly who I am.
So I am all for the Virgo Power! Yay!Love.
johann wolfgang von goethe
the sorrows of young werther was pure beauty, i can’t say no to german romanticism.
Wow this was so hard there are a so many fabulous fabulous virgo’s. You and Nubby of course are 2 of my favourites heehee.
Most notably though would be my friend Kristen she’s a labour day baby and she is so impeccably stylish, gorgeous and completely OCD. She loves to dance to some could R&B, make everybody laugh, speak french with a parisian accent and most of all she is ridiculously flirtatious.
As far as a celebrity my favourite virgo would be Tori Amos. She is raw sexual power and of course ridiculously talented. She can sing and play 2 instruments when on stage. She’s funny, she’s honest, she’s philosophical and she’s a little bit kooky which is something I always love about a person.
My honourable mentions would be Michael Jackson and Mother Teresa.
PEE WEE HERMAN!!!
I definitely have to say him because I watched him religiously every day when I was little. haha
“For the rest of the day, whenever anybody says the secret word, scream real loud. Ready? Let’s try it.”
Even though he’s been in trouble for child porn and exposing himself in a naughty theater… I still love him!
you, Nubby (especially because you have awesome Virgo birthday parties!), & Gustav Holst (an awesome composer). My dad would say Sophia Loren – he even named his GPS Sophia! (I know – weird right? But, kind of humourous…)
I’d have to go with two icons of Rock N’ Roll: Mister Elvis Costello and Miss Joan Jett!
Miss Joan Jett has had a long lasting spot in my life, both as a musical inspiration and love and as a fashion icon. From playing in Rocky Horror, to her rocker girl anthems, I can’t help but feel tough, sexy, seductive and able to kick any ass when I’m listening to her tunes. Plus who doesn’t love an advocate?
And Mister Elvis Costello, for both his ability to have a long-lasting career, continue to influence the face of rock music, and for his sense of humor. I was even recently reminded how much I loved him as I watched “A Colbert Christmas: the Greatest Gift of All.” How many musicians will compromise their artistic integrity to get eaten by a bear or wear an elf costume?
Greta Garbo
The definition of glamour. A woman incredibly true to herself, retaining control over her personal life even when spotlighted – modern celebrities could learn a thing or two from her!
(I looked up personality traits of a Virgo :3 it was fun. I’m a Leo though)
My favorite Virgo is my husband! I’m a Capricorn, so we’re both earth signs, which makes us a really strong team in business type situations. He’s also wonderfully level-headed. While I tend to be more anxious and over-analytical, he just takes things as they come. He’s not obsessed with material possessions, but he understands the need to live well. Rather than buying a lot of cheap stuff, he’s picky and insists on quality. That comes in handy for me because he appreciates when I buy nice clothes and doesn’t give me a hard time about it. As an earth sign, he’s fairly well grounded, but he really knows how to have fun. He’s imaginative, and while he may look like a serious guy, that just makes his wicked sense of humor more surprising and lovable.
My favorite Virgo is one of my dearest friends, Madoodle. We first bonded after being forced to sweep our boss’s house back in college (10 years ago!) and realizing we both liked to go out dancing to 80s music. The initial connection deepened into an awesome friendship. She is a true blue friend and I love her to death!
oh! and arnold schönberg!!
pierrot lunaire rulesss
neither can i resist german expressionism.
i love buddy holly’s music and my grandpa actually knew him, peter sellers is one of my favorite actors too! lolita! dr strangelove! the original pink panther! lovely!
haha i was looking at that list and peewee herman has the same birthday as my sister! august 27th!
My favourite Virgo is my friend Chloe. She lost her boyfriend nearly three years ago in a car accident and yet managed to pick herself up, carry on and is still a wonderful person who always makes me laugh. I have a lot of respect for her, and a lot of love :)
Michael Jackson because I grew up listening to him and I’m still on a mission to have my bedroom dance moves be as sweet as his.
Ooooh! Lauren Bacall! No doubt in my mind! What an amazing lady! “Why?” You ask? She modeled and hoofed it around Manhattan on her lunch break to crash auditions! She writes! She married Bogart for crissakes! She coined ‘the look’! Her life deserves many exclamation marks!
You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.
::meltsintoapuddle::
well other than the wonderful gala and nubby combo (double the virgo goodness), i would have to say myself (surely there isnt any shame in some blatant self love?) i’m an august 24 baby so i just sneak in there (on the day or one day after the sign begins, depending on which zodiac calendar you take). i love the fact i’m a virgo. i pack for holidays 2 weeks before i leave, i cant do my uni work unless i have cleaned my room first, i live for order baby. i cant live without my diary or my fab macbook. i thrive on stationary, organisation and the internet. it drives my boy batty sometimes, but i wouldnt have the borderline ocd organisation any other way.
My exboyfriend/bestfriend Brendan. He is an amazing person. We dated for two and a half years when we were around sixteen, moved off to University and remained best friends. We are forever playing videogames, going out for tea, snuggling and being an ear when the other needs to bitch or cry. We’re both dating other people right now, but out SO’s have learned that they are not to be jealous or trifle with Brendan’s and my friendship – it’s something too important to us and platonic enough to not be a threat. :]
My dear heart
I realise is a Virgo
My favourite one
I just realised that my boyfriend is a Virgo. He’s my favourite person anyway but his Virgo traits that enhance this are:
Compatible with Capricorns (e.g. me!)
Intelligent (cue long rambling talks about the universe and theoretical physics)
Practical (excellent at DIY hence making our home a divine place to live)
Fussy and perfectionist (who want perfect people anyway? A concept I’m sure Jarvis Cocker – another virgo- would agree with).
currently, it’s the boycrush :3
I am my favorite virgo. Although, I am nothing like a virgo is supposed to be (clean & organized, good manners) I’d say I’m a pretty sweet person anyways.
Hugh Grant ... the man that made me fall in love with the Britain… & believe that the kind of big, magical, sappy & romantic love, the kind you find in the movies, that that kind of love is possible, for real. He is self destructive and wonderful and … he’s the reason I know I like boys too ;)
This feels a bit weird, but at the same time really nice… I think I have found my Virgo soul mate. Over the past 5 months we have been talking every day and pretty much all day. It’s like we agree on EVERY SINGLE THING! I used to think it was a little far out, the whole Virgo thing (I am a Virgo myself, no less) and I never really thought that it would matter much. But this guy. Man. I want to talk to him all the time! Even now when we are halfway around the world from each other we manage to talk so much! We even watch each other sleep on web cam! It’s a bit silly, but I really love it. I never feel lonely even if I am in a foreign country where I don’t know anyone or even speak the language. It is so nice to have someone to talk to who can follow your train of thought! Ah, yes. His name is J. He is my favourite Virgo.
While I’m fond the of the Michael Jackson/Pee Wee Herman combo exclusively for the deathly pale/creepy factor, I choose…
Roald Dahl, not only for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory etc, but because in my writing class we had an hour long discussion on his use of creepy/sneaky “inappropriate” items in his children books. Furthermore! He also wrote the short story “Lamb to the Slaughter,” an odd favorite of mine since Sophomore year of High School.
So yes, I choose Roald (pretty fly name, too!)
my mother is my favourite virgo, for real! she’s super giving and wonderful. when my dad passed nearly 20 years ago, she stuck it out and brought me up as a single mom with help from her own parents. since then she’s been strong enough to deal with her own parent’s illness, her father’s death, and even a bout of breast cancer (which i’m glad to say she’s in her 5th year since her surgery!). she’s probably the stongest person i know. always willing to help and never asking for anything for herself. i wish i could be more like her, all the time.
Hmm…I guess I’d have to go with Ani DiFranco(Although she’s a Virgo-Libra cusp….). Her music has always been really inspiring to me.
My favorite Virgos besides you and Nubby? I have to choose Mother Teresa for one. How can you not admire a woman who dedicated her life to helping the poor, the sick, and the disadvantaged? People of all religions and races can follow her example.
Perhaps this is WAY to big of a leap, but you could say that you and Mother Teresa are spiritual soul mates in a way! You’re both doing your part to make the world better, in different ways. :)
Another Virgo I’d have to choose would have to be Mama Cass Elliot. She was one of the singers in the ’60s group the Mamas and the Papas. Here’s a pic: img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/8… I love her because she had a beautiful voice, and was one of the first big, beautiful famous women that plus-sized girls could look up to!
Oh! And one more… Anne Bancroft from The Graduate. I’d let her seduce me any day. She is just so gorgeous in that film. And what a sense of style! I’d kill for that leopard-print trench coat! http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/alltherage/images/2007/09/12/bob_willoughby_anne_bancroft_and_du.jpg She’s a style icon no matter what age you are.
My best friend, Katie.
She is a perfectionist. Kind of conservative. But most of all, she is super-reliable. If I ever need anyone to talk to, she is there. And she won’t be super two-faced about it. I loooove Katie. Love love love. Too full-power. All the way.
I have two favorite Virgos:
My dear friend Alyssa, whom I’ve known since age 14, who is a witty, charming and beautiful artistic genius (and insurance agent). She has mastered the art of putting together the perfect sassy outfit and her homemade Marie Antoinette Halloween costume a few years ago came equipped with real-life cupcakes.
My other favorite Virgo is activist Margaret Sanger, who is famous for introducing contraception to poor Americans and lobbying for legalization of disseminating info on family planning.
my favorite virgo is MY DAD! we are pretty close and i’m looking forward to spending time with him over christmas. we call him “the Fasha” (thanks to Austin Powers baby!!) and he calls us “the dashas”. Who knows if that’s even the right word! hahaha. he also calls me randomly throughout the week (usually when he’s in the airport, travelling for work, on on his drive home) for literally 2 minutes. he usually just wants to tell me that Ben Folds is playing on the Jimmy Kimmel show tonight or that my car’s oil needs to be changed, and then he just hangs up! it’s hilarious, i get a kick out of that guy :)
My favourite Virgo is my boyfriend, who is sitting behind me and watching as I type this. He is not like a virgo in the way that you are, because his room is a mess! He puts his clothes in a pile on his bed, and only moves it onto the chair to sleep! eep!
but hes still my favourite.
Wait…one more.
I also vote D.H. Lawrence, because Lady Chatterley’s Lover was banned. Totally deserving. ha!
My best friend Juani. She studies politics and has such a clear mind. She knows what she wants to do and is truly a good person with a GIANT heart!!
And she has two amazing dogs two ;)
her birthday is on September 2
My dearly departed grampa, most definitely. He was a stoic, strong man who was fiercely loyal to his family and instilled in his children and grandchildren a clear understanding of respect. He stood up for what he believed in, always spoke his mind and defended his honor and that of others whilst maintaining composure and courtesy. Despite his strength he was incredibly sweet, generous and kind; his blue eyes always sparkled like he was holding some sort of happy secret. I never got to know him as well as I would have liked to, but credit him in part for my own unwavering devotion to those I love and what I stand for.
My most favourite virgo may not have an amazing sentiment attached, or even a huge history, but they were just as amazingly-amazing :D
I had just broken up from my lad ov-a-long-time-relationship variety and was spending the day in a sobbing heap on my couch when I hear a knocky-knock on my door…
I opened it to find a friend of a friend, COMPLETELY dressed as the Hitcher from the Mighty Boosh (complete with green face, huge Polo for an eye and tailcoat) with a big bunch of flowers and season 2 of the Boosh. Just because he’d heard about what happened.. We talked on the couch when star signs came up – I am a feeshy feeesh and he was the “virgin only not really” Strange but sweeet – he became my most favouritest virgo’s ever :D
AAAH! Julian Casablancas!!!!!
I think he’s beautiful and really talented. I really love the music he makes. And the fact that he looks like a total bad boy but is actually charming and polite totally makes my heart flutter. haha! and that smile, oh my god!
in total fangirl mode haha!
Elvis Costello- so suave, so neat, so twangy. The first man I ever saw in black-framed glasses and thought, mhmm, I wish I gave him his eye exam. “Now, Elvis, cover your right eye and read line 3.” Yes, yes indeed.
Before I get to deeply embedded in optomistrist office fantasties, H.G. Wells was also a pretty nifty Virgo. Time machines! It’s a machine! That travels! Through! Time! AHhhhhhhhhhhh! I doubt you are familiar with the 90’s children’s television show “Wishbone”, Gala m’dear, but the time machine episode had a big impact on me. Bascially, it was a show about a dog that reenacted works of the literary canon. They would dress him up like the main character and he would run around. Then he would leave his book world and help his owner, Matt, study for a math test or something. Really, it was awesome.
Stay cool!
oooh, i like Nadine’s dream Virgo dinner party:
Me, Virgety Virgo
Marc Anthony
Gala Darling and Nubby Twiglet
Michael Jackson
We’ll have sushi, sake bombs, make up new dance moves and make a video!!
My granny on my dad’s side, who taught me to read (Highlights!) at a young age. I attribute many of my successes to that.
I am a Virgo!! September 14!! Therefore, I have always had a biased fondness for other Virgos, and one of them is Sam Neill! Not only is his birthday on the same day as mine, but he was in Jurassic Park!! What more of an explanation do you need?
“Yes, but if Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, at least the pirates don’t eat the tourists.”
Man I love that film.
My favorite Virgo is my friend Maggie. She is funny, and unique, and has great style, and is totally uncaring of what everybody thinks. She is a great listener, and makes me laugh to no end. I can’t wait to see her on Christmas break. We all have such a great laugh together. x
What about moi? these days I start loving myself more and more, but it sounds narcissistic, doesn’t it? But to be famous, I don’t know any famous Virgos beside you and nubby. ANd others, I don’t know. my first and only best friend is a Virgo but I don’t talk to her very often anymore. I seriously don’t know any other.
<3
Joan Jett, of course!
She’s real, she’s badass, and paved the way for future women of rock!
Van Morrison because I grew up listening to him thanks to my Dad. Still gives me goosebumps.
And also me because I was born on the cusp (23rd Sept) between Virgo and Libra so I get to pick the best bits of both signs!
x
I’d have to say my favourite Virgo is Fiona Apple because ever since I first heard one of her songs I’ve been smitten ever since! It took me a while to purchase her music as I’m from the UK and she wasn’t as big over here but even before I got my hands on all her albums she was somebody I couldn’t forget so when I finally managed to get my hands on her music many years later I was so thrilled! Every song of hers I find myself having a personal connection to and I find her songs always really meaningful to me which I find really therapeutic!
What more can I say she a Virgo & she’s fab…don’t know what else to say so there you go! :p :)
Okay I have two, both men!
Buddy Holly
I love his whole image (those glasses!!) and what his image stood for, good ole fashioned 50s fun. I wish so bad I could have gone to one of his bands’ concerts “at the hop” and done the whole 50s thing. He just seemed like a really great guy and I love his music.
Bill Murray
Okay he’s come out with a few stinkers in the last few years (Garfield, anyone?) but he did Groundhog Day which is one of my all-time FAVORITE movies ever. I find his dead pan humour hilarious. Also my dad loves him, so I grew up watching his movies ;)
Ingrid Bergman. Gorgeous, impeccable, classy, and truly stunning in Casablanca!

tinyurl.com/6qerdp
tinyurl.com/6fz3u7
Well, I have to say [b]Mother Theresa[/b] since she shares my name and I think she’s incredible..who else..[b] Pee Wee Herman[/b], the star of the wonderful [b]Tim Burton[/b] film.
For a change, how about [b]Ivan the Terrible[/b]? Always good to have him on YOUR side!
Oh how that list of Virgos makes me swoon! I have to go with Mickey Mouse, however, for keeping his rockin’ vintage red trousers going for decades!
I don’t know any Virgos, personally, but I have always felt inspired by Sophia Loren. Her look and style are timeless.
My favourite Virgo isn’t famous, he’s my dad. He died nearly 2 years ago. Artist, inspiration. :) And totally obsessed with colour, style and detail….Love him.
x
My best friend, because I looove her! :D
Actually, now I think of it, a LOT of my friends are virgo! I’m Aries, I don’t know wether virgos and aries officially match but I’d say so!
It’s so weird! I’m a Leo and my hubby is a Virgo. My mom was a Leo (born on the same day as me) and my Dad is a Virgo. We’re all very true to our sign’s natures.
But the hubby and I have a far better relationship than they had. Our strengths and weaknesses mesh well and we work together well.
I love all of his Virgo tendencies and he tolerates my Leo ones!
Luv
Poochie
I’m going to go with Michael Jackson, I mean it’s michael jackson! :D
Ohhh but I also love Sophia Loren! El Cid is one of my absolute favorite movies :)
tinyurl.com/3xued7
tinyurl.com/6m6db3
I also greatly admire Mother Teresa! She’s a fantastic example of true selflessness.
My best friend Mary, she’s been my gal since grade school and the best listener to all my insane plans and ramblings. I’ve endangered her life a couple of times but at least had fun doing it. I couldn’t imagine kicking it without her.
You’re my favorite Virgo! huggles Galadarling Because you’re awesome, fun and fantastic in every sense. I’m a true blue Gemini but I have so many Virgo friends that I can’t help but like you a lot! huggles some more Keep up your fun and fearless lifestyle coz you inspire me soooo much! (And that’s why I adore you.
Gala is my favourite virgo.
...but this time, i’m talking about a different Gala.
Gala Dali!
i am a true Dali nerd. i geek out over Salvador whenever i can. it’s one of my passions, really and true.
as such, i am obligated to love Gala. she was his main muse, and really a huge part of his love and life. they may not have been IN love, but there was a love between them.
i must love any person who can inspire such beauty, tolerate such eccentricities and care for such genius.
Oooh and ofcourse : GALA! :D Anddd, Michael Jackson, Pee Wee Herman (Hahahahhaa!! :P) Oh and Queen Wilhelmina, because she’s Dutch like meeee :D Oeh and Terry Bradshaw, because his name sounds like Carrie Bradshaw hihi :P And Twiggy ofcourse!
charlie parker!! one of the most influential and my favorite jazz musician. im sippin some chai and listening to him right this second..ahh..divine.
My favourite virgo is… myself. This year I’m learning to love myself and right now I’m my own fan :)
hmmm…me ? ;)
i would say, Macaulay Culkin…
Gala, duh!
But it’s also a tie between her and SLUG! (whom I met in November in Chicago :]]])
My favorite virgo is my Mom :) She’s always been there for me, through problems with boys, two university degrees and even let me live in her home with my husband because the university degrees have made me poor. She’s spent every birthday for the past 7 years moving me or my siblings to and from school, which for us is a 6 hr drive each way and never complained. She did a great job raising me and my brother and sister and now she’s my friend. We’ve been there for each other through her heart attacks and recently, the death of her mother. She’s the best virgo i know :)
Hmmm… I’d have to say either Buddy Holly, whose voice makes me melt and whose tragic end kinda makes my heart ache; or Mother Theresa, who is a kinda weird person to say considering I’m a lapsed Catholic, but she did some amazing things and I always appreciate a warm-hearted and generous Virgo.
as far as virgos i know in real life, my friend sarah. the only thing she organizes obsessively is her cd collection, but if i mess up the chronological order of her clash albums she has a small fit. her hair is long and bright red. we drink mexican hot chocolate and chew sugary swedish candy together while listening to records. she witnessed my first soccer goal as well as my first kiss.
Virgos are awesome. My favorite is Hugh Grant. I have this total secret old-guy crush on him…something about the moppy hair and the accent. :)
My favourite Virgo is my Dad. For years and years I was positive he’d been born at the wrong time because he’s so not how you’d expect your textbook Virgo to be! These past few months (due to some admittedly unfortunate circumstances) I’ve gotten to know my dad better than I ever have before and I was shocked at what I found. In a good way, of course.
I always joked with him that he was much more of a Gemini like me, but it turns out he was just a closet Virgo! The characteristics aren’t easy to spot at first (it took me all this time) but without a doubt they are there. He has this amazing way of focusing his attention on things in a very practical way when needed (or when he really wants to, e.g. winning an X-box game, haha), and stuff just happens. Magic!
Also, one of the main reasons I doubted his true Virgo nature was that he seems the complete opposite of a perfectionist if anything (one of the biggest traits of a Virgo!), but I’ve realised that deep down he actually is; it just comes out in different and unusual ways. For example, he is known in our family for being a bit (ahem, a lot) criticising and rather judgmental. But really I think that’s just his perfectionism, his innate need for things to be just so.
I hope that made sense, it sounded a lot more logical in my brain. And sorry for the mammoth entry, that would be my chatterbox Gemini rearing its head!
beyonce knowles.
i loved her when i was little but i still love her…she has never let me down and she is talented and beautiful :)
and her single ladies video has awesome fosse style dancing which is so fun.
are all of us virgos? :) i know i am. +
My favorite Vixen-y and Vivacious Virgo is my childhood friend Sheena! I’ve known the lovely gal since I was three years old (that’s seventeen years!!), and she’s always been the sweetest thing! She’s smart, stylish, adorable, nerdy (one of my favorite qualities in a person EVER), and a fantastic cook! Sheena also shares my love of all things Japanese, which is a phenomenal plus! A marvelous conversationalist, Sheena never fails to amaze me with her superb taste and hospitable charm. She’s a girl who’s been through a lot and definitely deserves my title of favorite Virgo! Love you, Sheena!
I agree with the Greta Garbo response. The fact that there might be some truth to the Garbo de Acosta lesbian relationship makes me insanely happy.
A close second is Otis Redding.
My favourite Virgo is my grandmother.
She’s 76, and she’s healthier than me.
She looks the same as she did twenty years ago.
She’s done so much in her life, and she’s so understanding — if I ever need anyone to talk to, I know I can always go to her.
She never loses her temper.
She’s a fantastic cook.
She’s just perfect.
She’s like a second mother.
i’m a history buff so i’d have to go with louis XIV, the sun king. he’s the grandfather of louis XVI, who is better known for marrying marie antoinette. i like how powerful he was, and he had an amazing, outstanding presence. he, along with others, was a huge supporter of the arts and dropped a lot of money on it for his court.
Yvonne de Carlo, AKA Lily Munster! She’s absolutely divine!
img.photobucket.com/albums/v22…
I adore her…I used to watch the Munsters on Nick at Nite when I was little and I just loved Lily. And I always wanted a dress like that! xoxo
My favorite Virgo is my Grandfather. He is precise about everything, always ahead of schedule, he can focus, and organize, and I am just like him in so many ways. I am his little Virgo child.
Elvis Costello – what a musician! i’ve loved his music since i was small and my dad played his records to me.
My favourite Virgo is my friend Rebeccah Love. She makes amazing movies, she is a great actress and an amazing friend. She always gives of herself and gets involved in causes that she cares about. She’s quirky, cute and fluent in French! She also added the ‘h’ to her name. She’s eternally optomistic, intelligent and I look up to her a lot.
Also—Peter Sellers! Ever since I saw Dr. Strangelove, I’ve always loved Peter Sellers.
Joan Jett, I love the ladies that rock
My dad, Robert David Gordon, is my favorite virgo. He’s the most amazing person. He’s done so many interesting things during his life! He pedal biked around France and Spain as a young man, lived like a hermit in Scotland, was an active Scientologist in the 70’s, train hoped across the USA, nearly single handedly built 3 beautiful homes (currently still building the last 2, and he’s now in his 60’s), he’s an avid kayaker, hiker and skier. And he has such a great scense of humor (that he passed on to me).
My niece, Lily, is my favorite Virgo. Even at 10 yrs old, she’s so inquisitive, insightful, and articulate. And, she loves to write! The other day, she asked her mommy, “If I’m mad at God, will I still go to Heaven?”
Whoa. That’s deep.
My favourite Virgo would have to be me! :-)
My sister is also a fave Virgo of mine.
And then there’s Joe Perry (Aerosmith). We could have been such a gorgeous couple of Virgos…
Op! Another one of my favorite Virgos is my friend Ev’Yan, aka apricot ! A newlywed, a mother of two gorgeous pups, and wise beyond her years, Ev’Yan is kind, tender, personable and injects style into all aspects of her life. You go, Ev’Yan!
Agatha Christie! Mystery novel writer extraordinaire.
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
Well, you know I love both you and Nubby, but I have to say that my favorite Virgo is my dad! He’s pretty much awesome and can do anything! :)
My Poppa was my favorite Virgo.
He passed away this summer, and he always was and will be one of my favorite people. He was kind, gentle, strong, caring, trustworthy. He had all the best traits.
My Mommy! She is all things Virgo and my sibs and I love her for it!
Well, I thought I would be original and say my Mum, but apparently there are a lot of little Virgo spawn running around. But really, she is my favorite one! She’s always a phone call away, listens to the best music, is the greatest chef ever, works in a bakery, and never seems to be surprised by anything, ANYTHING!
Joan Jett
Fiona Apple
Chrissie Hynde – these three ladies are vegan and their music has been very important to me over the years.
Barry White – when i was six, i had the pleasure of meeting this man and he told me i was beautiful. everytime i complain about my appearance my mother always reminds me of this day.
Macaulay Culkin – i’ve had the biggest crush on him since forever.
Definately my girlfriend!
For many, many reasons. I shall pick a few:
She’s so intelligent,
She’s the funniest person I’ve ever met,
She’s affectionate and caring and HUGE fan of PDA’s,
She has excellent taste in movies,
She has notebooks stashed all over her bedroom,
She’s the only person I know that writes down her dreams,
She has the most adorable nose ever,
She takes pictures of herself in the rain,
She has amazing handwriting,
She helped me through depression,
She’s the only person I’ve met with grey eyes,
She makes me want to say ‘INCREDIBLE’ a lot,
She loves me no matter what,
She owns a corset,
She’s as much of a fan of cheesey xmas songs and Disney movies as I am,
She’s absolutely stunningly beautiful,
SHE’S ALL ROUND AMAZING!
As for my favourite virgo that I don’t know, I’d probably say Stephen King. I think The Shining alone is enough of a reason!
My favourite Virgo is my boyfriend xD He is very virgo, always wants to keep everything tidy and clean while everything is a mess where I am because I am Pisces… so he keeps everything in order so we sort of weigh against each other… like Libra! Anyhow enough of that.. maybe our child will be libra or something….
wow, this was a really hard question….I didnt realize that I really dont know any Virgos…insane!! And as much as I like celebs….I dont really want to pick one of those. You and Nubby are groovy too but I do have one virgo in my life. Its one of my sons friends….this insane little kid! Drives me nuts…but under all the insane, lack of rules, no manners, loud, doesn’t listen, annoying kid stuff, is a good hearted young man who lost his dad this year for lack of a liver transplant :( I guess I would say he is my favorite virgo, because my son likes him.
Aww my friend Todd! He’s so stylish and fun and talented. Normally, me being a Sagittarius and all, I don’t get along with Virgos very well, but he’s awesome! And he has the best taste in music, seriously better than anyone I know!
my favorite virgo? ingrid bergman!
who can deny the glamour and talent of this Swede? although she i tremendous in Casablanca, i think her performance in Murder on the Orient Express is my favorite.
My brother. I know a lot of people who don’t get along with their siblings well, but we’ve always been close and he’s probably one of my best friends now. I get to see him again in a week and I can’t wait!
though your up there, my favorite Virgo is my best friend Channelle. shes my sun moon and stars! she has helped me through the roughest times in my life and we have like some soul connection. When I am feeling down at work she will just know without me telling her and she will text me and ask “whats wrong love?” she is drop dead gorgeous and a model but for some reason I am not jealous of her. I only marvel that someone that beautiful inside in out thinks the same thing about me! I am an Aquarius so she brings me back down to earth. she is the one to ask “is that a good idea?” I love her to pieces. she makes me appreciate life.
My partner.
He’s a fabulous virgo man who makes me smile everyday.
Our first child is due next month
My favorite virgo was my dad. He worked 2 jobs then would go to the gym, then would help someone install an air conditioner or do some other such favor, then would come home and stay awake for me. I also loved our minimalistic home of 40s-70s hand me downs, and the bare wood floor covered in area rugs that he kept nicely waxed. I also loved our many cats and all the something-with-stir fried vegetable meals he made. All very virgo.
My favorite virgo is my baby niece, Amelie!
When she was born, we all said she must be a reincarnated old gypsy woman – with her deep, knowing eyes giving away her Virgo curiosity and intellect.
She started walking at nine months, and is already speaking Spanish and English at age one! Of course, Virgos do tend to be perfectionists.
She’s the first virgo in the family! She’s a Grandma’s girl, and my mother is a Cancer, so that’s a great match. We’ll see how she and I get along, with me being a Gemini. Two Mercury signs might work, right?
My favourite virgo is my mother. She has great taste and is an amazing all around person. I’ve never met anyone nicer and to a certain extent I get annoyed with her for being too nice. She’ll do anything to help out and devotes a lot of her free time to other people. She is my favorite virgo and I aspire to be more like her because I know she makes the world a better place.
My best friend! We’ve been through so much for over eleven years. She knows me better than I know myself!
My favorite virgo is definitely Bill Murray!
I’ve always had a weird old man crash on him. I am consistently attracted to virgos. I don’t know, as a scorpio myself, something always draws me to them!
I know so many Virgos. I think The most influential is my Dad – he has always been there for me and spoiled me mad. As an only child I get all the attention and I’m daddy’s little girl! He is very protective of my and sometimes get’s a bit carried away with this but in the same time he realizes that he can’t hold me in a plastic bubble forever.
The second is Mickey Mouse. Yes, the cute cartoon mouse – he helped me with his daily doings in childhood, especially when I was sick. I’m little embarrassed to tell this but in Sunday mornings we have a TV show, that shows he’s cartoon for an hour. It feeds my inner child and it is a great way to enjoy your pancakes with a little cartoon and act a little childish! :) Not that being a Virgo means Mickey is any different but he has shown me kindness, friendship! Silly huh?!? :)
My favorite Virgo is my friend Mary. She has a biting sense of humor, razor sharp wit, and crafty skillz to die for. She bakes a mean cake, too. ;)
ME! I am the greatest Virgo I know. I have evolved into quite a character, and I don’t plan on stopping.
My favorite virgo as of right now is Ivan the Terrible. Cause, even though he was a little dipshit, that name is EPIC AND AWESOME!!!1111111
Also I think I’m a pretty damn quirky virgo.
I’m sure it’s already been said, but Tim Burton. He has a great mind for coming up with creative things, and isn’t afraid to just be.
i don’t even have to think about this one- my twelve year old brother alex. he is my absolute favorite person in the world, and he happens to be a virgo :]
My father!! He’s on the cusp of being a Leo too, so he definitely likes to play King and has an ego, but he’s also hiding a tender heart! He recently lost his job [a job he was EXCELLENT at, a job fit for a Virgo!], and he continues to make sure his kids stay on track with schooling. Even when I struggle he tells me just to do my best, and if I lose my scholarship he assures me we’ll get it figured out. This man is a pillar of strength. He isn’t perfect, but he’s a good person. I want to be as good as him one day, and handle life as graciously as he does.
My friend, Hannah! We were good friends in high school but it wasn’t until we were separated at uni that I realised how COOL and similar she is to me! She’s the only one that has really made an effort to keep in touch and I really appreciate that.
My bestest friend Kate.
Because she’s awesome. ;)
Mickey Mouse, bacause he’s not even real and is full of magic.
My favorite Virgo by far would have to be my wonderful sexy husband Jason. He is an amazing mind. He’s a hard worker a people pleaser and a giver. I have a beautiful son with this man and he made it so that I can stay home and devote all my attention to my wonderful baby boy. He has truly made me a better person and constantly pushes me to strive twords better things and bettering myself as well. I am indebted to him and love him more than I ever thought I could love another human being
Apart from you and Nubby,
I would have to say Pee Wee Herman because i grew up watching Pee Wee’s playhouse and loved it.
x
My sister! She is incredible and beautiful, completely virgotastic! She totally got me into astrology, and treats me like a grown-up. I adore her and I hope she knows.
Tim Burton!
I’m always inspired by his work.
I was born on August 22, so I was very close to being a virgo myself! :)
Four of the Loves of My Life:
Leonard Bernstein
Elvis Costello
Otis Redding
Peter Sellers
do fictional virgos count? i sure hope so! my favorite virgo would have to be Bella Swan from the twilight series…yes, i’m secretly a thirteen year old girl, please don’t rub it in.
Sean Connery!
My bf & housemate do the best impressions of him and they never fail to make me laugh.
Freddie Mercury. I love him. Too talented, too beautiful for this world.
Xxx
My favorite Virgo is my friend Jen because she always has different colored hair every time I see her and when all of us friends are together we have a crazy good time!
Well, I’d have to say ME (insert Elle Wood’s victory ‘me’ after scoring Callahan’s internship)!
This past year and a half has been so definitive for me; had a crippling falling out with a loverboy, moved to a different part of the city, am finally finishing up my undergrad, picked up the pieces of my heart and managed to fall in love again with a scruffy drummer astronaut, got bangs, made plans to spend the summer in Europe, and discovered my passion for makeup artistry (I’ve even done the makeup for two bridal parties in the last month at $500 a pop!) Not to mention I’ve lost 15 lbs! I feel like now is the first time I’ve been honest with myself in years, and I am gentler, sweeter and more forgiving, but also braver, stronger, and more creative than ever.
As a v-go with leo tendencies, I have a true appreciation of all things extravagant and decadent, and always manage to treat myself to something fancy (within my means, of course). I’m a born explorer/adventurer, and my Europe trip will be one of many world tours.
So Gala, Nubby, you guys rock and make my blogroll, but I’m the raddest Virgo I know. And Nubs, have faith that when your tee graces my dirty pillows, it’ll be the icing on one badassed Virgo cake.
Loves!
As opposed to choosing someone I either don’t know (but who is famous), or choosing someone I know very well, I think I choose a NEW friend of mine, An. I’ve only actually met her twice, but she has to be my favorite Virgo because two meetings is enough! She’s open, outgoing, hilarious, beautiful, and very sure of herself—the latter is the most important quality in this little rant, because I think meeting someone and immediately realizing that this person has self esteem and is not afraid to be who they are is truly wonderful.
Also, she was the only one willing to go with me to lesbian clubs in Taipei. :)
It seems my life is filled with Virgos but I happen to have a freaky love/hate relationship with them all! My father in particular! However, he’s who I’m choosing!
In recent years it has been too difficult to have him in my life but I still love him deeply and owe him a lot. To get to the point where I am able to think of him as a man who makes mistakes instead of just a father who hurt me was difficult but it means that I am now able to see all his great virgoness without getting stuck in the down side!
Nothing is impossible for him, he just finds a way to solve whatever problems come his way – in a supremely virgo perfect way! He is incredibly mentally active and has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge no matter the topic. He can talk the hind leg off a donkey and charm almost anyone who listens with his cheeky attitude. He is the ultimate example of using the skills you do have to overcome what you dont.
And despite any faults, I’m glad to have him as my father!
Mickey Mouse, naturally!
Um my boyfriend is my favorite virgo. he’s so virgo-y it’s not even funny.
he spends appoximately 8 hours a day studying for school. and he works really hard at everything he wants to do. he had the highest score out of anyone in honors calc 2 last year, and he just got 149/150 on the exam so he probably got the highest grade again.
i love that he is so responsible because he always reminds me to do my schoolwork, or of appointments. i learned how to study from him, and so far i have all A’s this semester. i’m not done with the semester but i’ll probably have my first perfect report card since 3rd grade.
he’s very patient, loyal, loving. he’s also really protective but not in an obsessive controlling way, just in a pick me up when i’m drunk way. :)
he is always giving himself (except when he’s studying) whenever i am sad he takes care of me, and he gives me medicine and soup and fluids when i get sick. :D
i like to talk to him about politics and social issues and things of that nature, because he is so good at making a strong argument.
he always gives a good first impression too. when you meet him he’s always funny, and intelligent; but he doesn’t hog the attention.
i am a total virgo lover lol. i wish i was a virgo!!! every boy that i’ve ever had a crush on was a virgo too :D
My favorite virgo is Nicole Richie. I love her sense of style and she is funny and entertaining!
Nicole Richie is my favorite Virgo!
My boyfriend’s astrological chart has his Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Virgo, and he’s pretty swell…so hopefully that counts!
Ingrid Bergman. Her beauty is unparallelled and timeless.
My best friend’s little sister, Elizabeth, is my favorite Virgo.
She’s been having a really hard time lately dealing with her depression, but she still manages to help out her friends, and foster kittens from the local animal shelter and find them good homes. She is a kind, and truly beautiful person, inside and out.
Elvis Costello! Most amazing lyricist ever (and his music is pretty good too).
My best friend Debra! her random plans and delightful Debra-isms keep me afloat above the mire of our dreary days. She’s always fun, always independent, and always understanding of my ridiculousness
I am my own favorite virgo.
I love myself! YES! GO VIRGO!
Leonard Cohen (born 21 September 1934)
Most fantastic Canadian poet/singer/man! I adore him.
Agatha Christie!
Because I love old-fashioned murder mysteries, of course! But also because she managed to craft such an intriguing life for herself — highlights include working as a nurse during WWI & writing crime novels in her spare time, divorcing an unfaithful husband (in 1928!) after staging her disappearance & subsequent amnesia, marrying an archeologist 14 years younger than her & working with him on numerous excavations in the Middle East.
& I think her murder mysteries are among the first novels I read in English, when I was ten or eleven, & so they hold a very special place in my heart. ;)
(I also loveloveLOVE Otis Redding.)
My mum.
I know it may be obvious, but honestly, my mom is one of my favorite people. It really took going to college to make me realize how much I love her, and about how similar our beliefs are- I love having long feminist talks with her. Not having to see a person everyday makes it easier to see all the wonderful things about them.
Karl Otto Lagerfeldt, one of my very favorite designers! I love his trademark sunglasses.
The lovely Nubby Twiglet is probably another favorite virgo, to be honest. I secretly get fashion inspiration from her style and have been drawn to red/white combinations and red cross signs since coming across her blog!
twiggy! and this made me realize i don’t have any virgo friends…. how did that happen?
Me! I am my favorite Virgo :)
But if that doesn’t count, I cho-cho-choose Stephen King… do I really need to say why?
BESIDES you two, haha?
That would be my friend Trey. Ive been sort of a real jerk to him. We met a party and fell in “like,”...until I realized I just missed my ex. But we got over it, thank goodness. Now, I try my best to be the best friend I can be for all that junk I put him through.
He’s sweet, he’s charming, and he’s a major karate kid. And he pats me on the back instead of saying hello. He really is a great person and tries really hard to make everyone happy.
One of my greatest and oldest friends, because she wore a t-shirt and mini to a cocktail party and was still the best dressed.
And because she probably made those clothes as well.
My dad!
He’s a Virgo and he’s pretty cool (most of the time, anyway!).
Other than the fabulous Gala and Nubby, I’d say Jack Black – Tenacious D are hilarious.
My mum and sister are both virgos :)
Jimmy Fallon! Cute + funny = undeniably awesome.
My favroite Virgo is hands down my mom. She’s super hard working and very silly. She started out as a young mother and was determined to raise me right! I’m very thankful she’s put up with my antics for all these years and I couldn’t ask for a better mother.
Um, you, Gala!
My second favourite Virgo is Prince Harry. I’ve been utterly in love with him my entire teenage life. Apart from being irresistibly gorgeous (see this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlSBqa…), I really enjoy his devil may care, ‘to hell with them!’ attitude. I mean, it would be super easy for him to stay inside all day, cooped up in a castle, eating truffles and petting his grandmother’s corgis, not doing much else. Instead he lives life the way he wants to – joining the army, doing charity work in Africa, partying hard in London – getting into all sorts of trouble along the way – but never stopping just because of what the tabloids might say about him.
So yeah, he’s pretty much perfect. I look forward to marrying him in the not so distant future. We will have lots of ginger haired babies. Hurrah!
prince harry, of course (right behind you though, gala darling). & why prince harry? because if i had said any other virgo than my best friend would have killed me. she’s in love with him (we’re talking walls plastered with his photos; thank goodness it’s nothing too extreme though, this obsession).
xoxo,
La C.
Does it count if I say myself ? Maybe that’s just my Leo cusp coming out.
Alright, alright. One of my best friends, Meesha, is a virgo. We have a very similar style, except mine has the undertones of an 80s goth and hers has the undertones of a hip hopper. I don’t think that’s the right term for it, but that’s what I’m going to say. Also, her hair is dark and mine is light, so aesethetically we complement each other, and a good friend is always the best accessory. We go to poetry slams and then go ghost hunting. We walk around pet stores naming the all the fish after rappers (I think Biggie was our favourite the last time) and then parkour around Providence before returning to our town to pet all the neighbourhood cats. We always have the most incredible conversations on history and art and culture, all spurred from things like walking by a building or liking a passing stranger’s shoes. I can’t think of anyone I have more fun with without even leaving our backyards.
My friend who laughs like a bird but is just an amazing person
My bestest best friend Robin! I wrote a haiku about her yesterday. :3 She’s so smart, and hilarious, and a hell of a gamer & geek! (Just like me!)
my favorite Virgo? MYSELF, MAN. i’m the only one I know.
(irl of course. i’ve just never met either of you, but both you and nubby are a lovely bunch indeed
Ooh it’s a toss-up between my mom and my best friend (who, oddly enough, were born on the exact same day – September 2nd!)
I’m gonna go with my mom, and here is an itemized list as to why:
- She has magical cleaning powers. Every time I visit her, the house is spotless and stylish. I can stay there for weeks at a time, and I have never, ever seen her clean anything! – She makes kick-ass wholegrain bread, from scratch, which you can eat with French organic honey and tastes amazing – She has this boho, “child of the 60s” look going on, which means I can steal her clothes – ha – She understands the value of staying warm in winter and if it wasn’t for her forcing cute scarves and mittens on me, I would probably be sick ten times more often – I swear the woman learns a new language every year – She is the Eternal Optimist. She’s the person I call when I’m feeling down and she lets me know exactly why things aren’t that bad, and what will make it better (a cup of cocoa, a walk in the park, taking photos of birds) – She’s a ballet dancer. That’s just cool. – She introduced me to Loreena McKennitt when I was in my “I love Scandinavian history” phase – She’s into organic EVERYTHING. I think that’s why she’s so dewy and glowy and will never need plastic surgery even when she’s 100 years old :)
My favorite Virgo is Fiona Apple. Her album, “Tidal” changed my life when I was 13 years old. Her voice is so haunting and beautiful. I think this quote from Shakespeare sums her up quite well:
“And though she be but little, she is fierce!”
That quote sums up a lot of Virgo women I know ;)
ME! Okay I should probably think of a much less conceited answer. I’m really a Leo/Virgo cusp and so that’s probably the Leo side of me. I don’t really know any other Virgos personally but my favorite Virgos would be Frankie Avalon, River Phoenix, Agatha Christie, Tim Burton…
and of course Nubby Twiglet. I finally stopped lurking on her blog not too long ago, and ever since I first started reading her blog I’ve begun to love the color red. So thank you Nubby for bringing red into my life, before I never had anything red, except for my red telephone that is.
Josh Quong Tart hearts hes so cute, and has such a beautiful voice, watching him on tv makes me smile(and laugh) :) i sent him a ‘love’ letter 4 months ago haha, no reply as of yet.. maybe the letter got lost in the mail….... lots could happen to a letter going from England to Australia sigh.
My best friend! She’s like the sister I never had and has encouraged me more than she knows.
Erin B. — I love that quote! Also, Fiona Apple & Roald Dahl are my birthday twins. Molly Crabapple too… I’m in good company, I love all of them very much! Yarrrr!
My favorite virgo is
September 19, 1928 – Mickey Mouse! He’s done so much for me. He’s enriched my earlier years with laughter!
I don’t have a lot of Virgos in my life… in fact I had to check my calendar to see who I knew in that date range! So, apart from the glee I feel when I see an iCiNG update in my inbox…
My favourite Virgo is my friend and dance teacher. She’s fun, gorgeous and a super talented dancer and choreographer. She has reignited my love of dancing and I seriously can’t understand how I lived without it in my life for nearly 10 years! Its one of my surefire perking up tactics!
Buddy Holly, Joe Strummer and Elvis Costello! Just for being amazingly talented.
and also…Donald O’Connor because I love “Singing in the Rain”. Cosmo’s just adorable!=)
(You and Nubby, always)
Roald Dahl -friend of my childhood.
Tegan and(it would be wrong to chose one twin over the other)Sara Quin- Beautifully flawed, music makers.
Tim Burton- His movies are always fantastically warped, yet so wonderful. I am fascinated by him.
Fiona Apple- Extraordinary music for dreaming to, or crying, or simply sitting and absorbing.
So many amazing virgos! I think I need to go out and find some virgo friends!
My favorite Virgo is my Dad- September 12th
Second favorite would be Mickey Mouse.
My boyfriend would have to be my favourite virgo. Why? Cause he’s awesome and sweet and he brings me cookies when I’m sad and writes me songs on his ukulele. :)
I wish I had Virgo friends in real life, but since I don’t, my favorite virgo would have to be Bill Murray!
favourite virgo = gala. nooo contest.
but in real life, my fave is my friend lauren. she’s a few years younger than me, but when i was in my final year of highschool last year, we had such amazing times together. now that i think about it… she’s like a little gala! she has 109 pairs of shoes, and counting. her favourite place is new york. she loves tattoos and pretty things and cupcakes and inspiring other people! her favourite class is leadership, and she rocks hardcore at organising events and getting people excited about stuff. she’s such an inspiration, really. and we get along so well. cutest little thing ever! i LOVE her.
My little brother. He is pretty amazing. I love him to death. He is only 3 but he is meant to do things.
apart from you?
Louis XIV, the ‘sun king’ he was a completely appearance-obsessed monarch, the opulence of his lifestyle wasn’t ever repeated (not even by Marie Antoinette, who was inspired by him)
Twiggy. because she’s TWIGGY! she became famous even when the models of the time were all curvy supposedly ‘real’ women (i hate that phrase, it implies that i am not a ‘real’ woman. pah!) she had the best style, a gorgeous haircut, and even now she’s aged brilliantly, and can still show facial expressions, unlike many other older stars.
This may sound self-serving and stupid, but at the moment, my favourite virgo is ME! (17th September 1988).
This year I have had an amazing journey of self discovery. My attitude towards so much of what goes on in my life has changed, and I have really become happier, and more true with myself.
I have fallen in and out of love, and unfortunately lost a best friend in the process….but then I think maybe it is fortunate, because we discovered we really don’t have that much in common anyway.
I have climbed the corporate ladder, dropped out of uni and started again, discovered what I really want to do, redesigned my lifestyle, my personal style and my life.
I have started to live life the way I want to, and that makes me happy.
And as so many people say, you can’t fully love and appreciate others if you don’t love and appreciate yourself. So now that I have a favourite virgo in myself, I can probably go find a favourite virgo somewhere else out there!
xo
Keanu Reeves!
Also, Mikey Way, bassist of My Chemical Romance.
And of course, as everyone has said, you and Nubby.
I am my favourite Virgo!! This year was so stressful, finishing school and studying my brains out! But I have really learned to love myself. For the first time in my life, I really do feel comfortable with myself, and it feels AWESOME :D
It’s a toss up between Upton Sinclaire and Mickey Mouse. What can I say? They both appeal to such different sides of me.
Myself! Close runner up would be my boyfriend. He’s only a “technical” Virgo though. He really lacks all qualities of Virgo, which is funny because he was a month late being born. :D It’s crazy how much these things make sense sometimes!
My favorite musician and major inspiration Emilie Autumn is a Virgo!
She’s something to witness, I can’t even begin to describe how amazing she is!
Everyone should check her out!
My best friend is a Virgo.
She is five years younger than I am (is that weird?) and I love her to death. She’s HILARIOUS. We always have fun making fun of each other and she tends to beat me up a lot!
I’ve always liked Virgos & had Virgo friends, probably because my sister is one & I’m used to how they are. It’s funny because a lot of her friends are Aquarius (my sign), even though these two signs aren’t supposed to be very compatible.
I admire that Virgos are adventurous and have a special love of life that, in my opinion, rivals even the fire signs. They always have a unique or fresh take on something that has been done a million times before.
So, out of all the Virgos I admire, I would have to say that my favorite is Dan Eldon (daneldon.org). He was the youngest photojournalist at Reuters, and he died while covering a conflict in Africa at the age of 22. When he died almost 20 journals filled with collages were found. Chronologically you could see the evolution of both his art and his life, even though it is hard to tell where or if there is a distinction between the two.
Also, a Virgo friend who lived in Portland died this year. He had a Dan Eldon kind of spirit around him. He was a brilliant photographer, humanitarian, writer, & person. RIP Sokhak. (myspace.com/sokhak)
John Cage – he was completely revolutionary in contemporary music in the 40s and 50s, and his work is still controversial today… that makes him pretty cool in my books. I don’t know if 4’33” is genius or ridiculous, but I think it’s so important that there are people who make us talk about these things. According to wikipedia, he was also ‘instrumental in the development of modern dance’. Culture as we know it now probably owes a lot more to him than we’d realise.
Other than that, Bill Murray, because he’s a sexy old man and he pops up in the most unexpected and amazing places, from the Rutles to Lost in Translation, via Little Shop of Horrors.
My favorite virgin is my friend Andres. I usually don’t pay much attention to those sorts of things but Andres fits the bill pretty well.
My favorite virgo is my friend Andres. I usually don’t pay much attention to those sorts of things but Andres fits the bill pretty well.
My favorite Virgo is, hands down, Miyavi. He’s not afraid to be as crazy or weird as he wants, he has great style, and he’s really, really good to his fans. And the way he plays guitar is totally hot. Mmmhmmm.
My favorite Virgo is a guy I have a crush on…he is very devoted and a gifted artist with an impressive work ethic. Everytime I see him, I feel happier.
ooh, eff… no way. that is such a tough question for me. i’ve found that 98% of the people that i adore are not only virgos, but all of their birthdays fall within the same week!
virgo.boys.are.amazing! (can’t say i know any virgo girls).
my favorite of them all… a philosopher boy i will always love with whom i fawned over in college.
things didn’t work.. that doesn’t make him any less fucking amazing!
jack black!!!! he is hilarious, versatile, charming and never fails to get a good hearty laugh out of me. i absolutely love him and all of his roles, from shallow hal to orange county to the holiday! definitely my fav virgo!!
I’m going to have to say my grandpa, who coincidently shares the same birthday as me, September 4th. We get along so great which i love because i know that the generation gap can be hard in some families.
I also work with 2 people who are also my birthday twins, so it’s always a fabulous day of celebrations!
There are so many amazing Virgos it’s hard to just pick one but I’ll say my brother, got to stick with family in the end.
oh and moby.
he is pretty rad too :)
Pee wee Herman FOR SURE!
Bill Murray, he’s hilarious!
My favorite Virgo is definitely my brother! He never fails to crack me up, he’s so sweet, and he’s the best guitar player I know. He even made a youtube page devoted to showcasing his cover song skills. :)
Fiona Apple, definitely.
She has a GORGEOUS voice!
Agatha Christie. The Queen of Crime will always be one of my favourites =]
My friend Benny, because he knows how to get anywhere in San Francisco on public transportation!
my mooooommyyyyy sheee is just the best virgooo eveerrrr to land on earth… of course only I have spent to much time with her…
she appears to be de typical fragile, and innocent thingyy and then you get to see her on a kayak, climbing mountains and doing all sorts or stuff that for her 47 y.o. is absolutely amazing.. she has people skills well.. specialized in people liking her hehe and although she sometimes is the most embracing,want-to-cuddle-always, lovinggg, too sweet for me … she is someone to be proud of like.. hey (pointing finger) that’s mmmmyyyyy moom.. I guess it would resume like this
-smart super smart, book loving
-adventure living….
-people’s like
-most love wanter-giver
just a simple kinda gal, that was made to be loveddd by all
My favourite Virgo would have to be Greta Garbo. Why? Why not? Just go watch the movie Anna Christie. She’s the definition of old-school glamour and class. Even the Guinness Book of World records agrees- she was voted most beautiful woman who ever lived, or something.
It’s not just her beauty that I admired. She was a phenomenal actress, in my opinion one of the best from the Old Hollywood days. She also kept to herself a lot, which is unusual for a huge star, but for me it only adds to her appeal. It gives her a sense of mystery.
I’m going to have to be a little selfish and say that
Iam my favorite virgo! I didn’t always love myself, but with the love of someone else and a lot of realization… I became aware that I adore me!the boy i kissed last night.
he was so keen on not missing a single spot.
blush! when did meticulous become sexy?
My favorite Virgo has sandy hair, long enough to move when he tosses it, but short enough that it doesn’t get in his face when we kiss in my dreams. He is tall, has strong arms, & is a little bit chubby, the way I like ‘em. He has a fondness for argyle sweatervests. He wants to be a musical theatre performer, & when he sings, I realize suddenly & completely why musical theatre was invented. Classics like Rodgers & Hart are his favorites, & when he sings from Carousel or Pal Joey or The King & I, my heart is “bewitched, bothered & bewildered,” through & through. It was infatuation at first sight more than two years ago, & though he’s now graduated so I never get to see him, I still miss his presence, his bright & youthful face, his smooth & crooning voice.
MY MOMMY!
She is so wicked cool. I love my mom. She’s from the Philippines and she and my dad met in their thirties, so I remind myself that they led incredible lives before they met (and of course when they married they are still incredible and awesome). From little stories I’ve gleaned from her – she’s gone skydiving in Bangkok, drank slings in Singapore, hung out in a house at the foot of a mountain the day before it was covered by a volcanic eruption – I know I don’t really know all that much about the stuff she’s done. She’s fluently bilingual, way smarter than lots of people give her credit for (perhaps thinking that, because she’s foreign, she doesn’t know much) and is nutty and eccentric in that way where you THINK she’s a normal, bland person, until she says something completely kooky.
She has a green thumb – plants flourish under her care to the point where we have to hack them apart like jungle plants and separate them into five more pots – and normally mistrustful animals flock to her automatically. I could not make this up.
I could go on, but this is a pretty long comment already ;)
Well I know this is really corny but Colin Firth!!! Oh my gosh, give me Mr. Darcy any day!!!
And in keeping in true Nubby spirit MICHAEL JACKSON!!! You can’t get any cooler than pre-crazies MJ. Oh my gosh, I need to go listen to him now!
My mummy.
My favorite Virgo is one of my best friends, Alicia!!
I only met her last year when I transferred schools (which was v.depressing for me) and at first we weren’t v. good friends.
However, I remember the moment that we realized we were basically the same person and shared the same mind! (Well, in the sense that we have just about everything in common and can actually finish each other’s sentences!) We were going to watch Dan in Real Life with the entire class but everyone had bailed except for the two of us. We bonded over everything on that day! Books, movies, music, we had everything in common!
I love this girl to the moon and back! She is such a Virgo to the extreme! Meticulously organized and loves to make lists! We complement each other so well and I love her!
These contests are such fun Gala. You should do these anually!! My top 2 fav Virgos:
1)Milton Hershey
I have tons of relative in Pa and my Grandmother on my Mother’s side has been taking me to Hershey park or the factory every year since I can remember. And after doing a mini project on Hershey for Economics class I think the guy is even more awesome. [He also had a pretty rad mustache during his younger days. =) ]
2)You of course Gala! Your site always picks me up and inspires me.
Michael Jackson because I really want to borrow his sparkly glove while he teaches me to dance.
My friend Rachel, she’s independent and wants to make her own mark on the world.
Queen Liz the first, proud, strong woman doing it for the rangas!!
My hilarious Aunt.
I miss her dearly since she moved six hours away! But i adore seeing her every holiday.
She is has an amazing, off-beat sense of humour and a beautiful family (my uncle and two gorgeous cousins).
This is getting me all excited to see her next week!!
Oh, totally my friend Ryan! He is by far one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and I could talk to him about anything. He has the best and grossest sense of humor.
Ivan the Terrible, naturally.
I like bad boys ;D
My 9th grade crush, Tim, who wore red plaid bondage pants and a shag hairdo. Ohhhh he was so sexy back then and introduced me to the world of punk rock.
JOAN JETT! Hell yes. Reminds me of my mum and I leaping around dancing to ‘I love Rock and Roll’ and pulling out our best bad ass Joan Jett impressions.
Oh my, I just can’t choose!
um . . . MJ? Agatha? Paul Rubens? Mr Burton? soooo many great virgos, I give up!
My boyfriend! (Hi, I’ll just be sappy over here.)
In reality though, I have a top 3 that can’t be split up… I also need to include my late maternal grandparents. All three of them are more than my favorite Virgos, they’re some of my favorite people ever. No exaggeration. (Fun fact: they were all born within a five day stretch… well, over different years, of course!)
Aside from you gorgeous girlies yourselves (too obvious) my fave Virgos are:
Amy Winehouse (singer) – ok so she’s a total mess which isn’t cool but there’s still something about her.
Sir Trevor McDonald (British newsreader) – I grew up watching News At Ten so I love him as part of my childhood, but even though he’s 69 I admit I have a secret crush on him (don’t tell anyone lol)
Amanda Tapping (actress) – played Samantha Carter on Stargate (yay for smart action girls!) and looks amazing
Peter David (author) – his Star Trek New Frontier books combine my two fave genres – scifi and romance. Calhoun/Shelby otp! Long live girly scifi!
P.S. Not a Virgo I know, but Wassily Kandinsky (artist) has the same birthday as me – and iCiNG! Worth a mention at least! xxx
My favorite Virgo is my sister! She is so great — always there to pick me up if I get stranded or cook me breakfast for dinner, even though I don’t live with her. She’s also a great listener, and reminds me regularly when I’m stressing out that she’ll do anything to make my life easier. I went Christmas shopping with her today and had an awesome time.
I also love my Virgo sister because she is 22 and I am 20 and I have a copy of her ID that I use to get into bars and she doesn’t know about it. Hee! ;)
Mickey Mouse….
m-i-c-see-you-real-soon-k-e-y-why-because-we-like-you!
Twiggy. She changed the face of modeling, had brilliant personal style and wasn’t afraid of being different.
Because I Love Rock N’ Roll and I don’t give a damn bout my Bad Reputation, :p my next favorite Virgo has to be Joan Jett.
I also have to say Michael Jackson – Great artist and will go down in history as the King of Pop. If I could dance like him my life would be pretty close to perfect.
And last but not least, Mickey Mouse! Without him thousands of kids across the world may not have learnt to spell, M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E.
I’m not personally acquainted with any Virgos, very unfortunately! However, my hero is Tori Amos.
Tori Amos as a musician and as a person helped me through hard times, and has exponentially brightened the already-bright times! She is always reinventing herself, while still staying true to all she has ever been. She is innovative as an artist and as an inspirational personality. Her music makes me as happy as MJ’s makes Miss Nubby, but I love her even more for her honesty, support of women, and philanthropic heart. I volunteer for RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network), which she founded, and have talked to many survivors who have found strength and peace through Tori’s influence and/or the organization. Though I don’t know her in person, Tori Amos is undoubtedly my favorite Virgo.
My favorite Virgo, hm. Well i think that would have to be my best friend. She is such an amazing person she strives to always do the right thing and to never hurt anyones feelings. She has been my best friend for 6 years now and shes been there for my though ALL of the crazy and horrific things in my life. My life without her does not exist. Plus she has the best nicknames in the WHOLE WORLD, including:
Buckles, Becca Bug, Mini, Tiny, Minnie(shes really short hehe), Bug, Mouse, and many more :)
This girl is amazing, and gorgeous and always makes me smile. On the other hand our ugly spontaneous pictures rock my socks off! ( photos )
My mum is absolutely fab, she’s my rock, and a crazy bunch of personality – it’s never boring to be around her!
Other than that, Sophia Loren probably. :)
Rose McGowan, because she is sassy, hot, and works a machine-gun leg like nobody’s business. Yussssss sir.
My gorgeous Boyfriend.
hes perfect
he makes me smile
he smells nice
i want his babies
The classical music geek in me is coming out, but I have to say Gustav Holst. His “Planets” suite is absolutely one of the best pieces of classical music ever, and it’s really fun to play.
Gala & Nubby, of course!!!
And my little brother..
ooooooooh elvis costello, but of course like everyone else has said, you, Gala! I don’t come on here every day of my life for nothing! :P (Geekyyy)
My favorite Virgo is my sista, boo, short for bronwen. She’s my favorite virgo because she is fabtabulous and she once had a 6 foot cardboard cut out of a giraffe that she named cousin jeffery.
My sister! She’s FABULOUS and makes my life so much better whenever she’s around. I’m not lonely thanks to her and when people compare us it’s the best compliment ever :)
amy winehouse!
i have long endorsed the concepts of big hair and liquid eyeliner so i have to go with ol’ wino.
(also gotta stand up for the birthday twin right??!)
oh oh!! and BILL MURRAY!
Stephen King
People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy… and I keep it in a jar on my desk.
~Stephen King
No, it’s not a very good story – its author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside.
~Stephen King
My friend Kate – CONSTANTLY helping me to organize my closet, desk, art space, everything! Besides her Virgo-fueled organizational skills, she’s the best to get coffee and do the crossword with.
Twiggy and Macaulay Culkin!
When I was little, I idolized Twiggy and Macaulay was my celebrity crush.
My mum and my boyfriend! They both share my virgo-licious birthday (Aug 26), and i couldnt be prouder! They feel like an extension of myself, and we all understand our practical, independent, precise ways of doing things (that can drive everyone else up the wall), and just feed off eachother’s creativity
My little sister, who si the opposite of me. She likes to go out as much as I like to stay at home, she is ver good at art, while I am more of the scientific type, and so on.
She’s funny and light, and soon will graduate in architecture!!!
If I do win Nubby’s prizes, they’ll be my gift for her graduation (well, some of them!)
i’m a libra, and for some reason, all of my bffs in my lifetime have been virgos! my favorite virgo would have to be my best friend from the 5th grade… and 11 years later, she’s still my bestie! she’s my confidant when it comes to boys, and whatever else life has to offer (mainly boys). even though we’ve been friends for so long, there’s still a lot of things we don’t know about each other, which is nice because little surprises make life more interesting! we’re complete opposites in nearly everything: music, clothing, what-have-you, but we accept and love each other and that’s what matters. :)
My little brother.
we are both virgos :) my mum did good haha. No one else loves dancing around to kanye, spending hours in cd shops and buying me loveely perfume like my brother does. Being 13 and saving up his money to get me something i really wanted for christmas…now thats a true virgo. and the best one i know.
Agatha Christie all the way!!!
What an incredible woman! I am mystified, exhilerated and conjoured into a ball of frenzied behaviour with her writing. She was a beautiful, mysterious, and amazing woman who I reckon wrote some of the best classics of all time. I am reading her new biography by Laura Thompson, and dear old Agy seems to have left a lot of puzzles in her past.I am so intrigued by her life.
As many before I will have to say myself. Though technically I am a Libra, my ascendant is virgo and I pretty much see myself in a virgo description. For the famous ones I will have to be patriotic and name two of the best actrors my country (italy) has ever give birth to: Sofia Loren and Vittorio Gassman. If you have never heard of the second… well, he was basically the greatest Italian actor of all times, so handsome and charming, but also funny and energetic like only virgos can be..
Really, apart from you!?
I guess Mickey Mouse! I love everything and anything about Disney and always will. Plus, he is ageless :)
michael jackson! i grew up near the neverland ranch and still have a ll my mj tapes. in college i dreamed of infiltrating his camp but it never happened, sadly.
My fave virgo would be my dear friend Becky. She is the sweetest person I know!
Colin Firth. There is something about him that is very magnetic
My fav Virgo would definitely be my bestie!
Lots of Virgos love themselves! I choose ALL Virgos as my favourite – I found out recently that ALL of the blogs/websites I read on a regular basis are by Virgos, which is insanity. AND I now have THREE Virgo-twins (triplets?) in my life whose birthdays are on the same day as mine – and share eerie similarities with all of them! Virgos are the bomb :)
Mother Theresa..
she did such incredible things in her lifetime.
Cameron Diaz and my grandma!
Jonne Aaron,the vocalist of the finnish band Negative,because i admire his talent and i love his songs :)
Hugh sex-on-a-stick Grant.
He and his accent could have me a thousand times over.
Joan Jett!
My Favorite Virgo
My stepfather joined our family about 15 years ago. At first, I thought he was just another one of mum’s boyfriends, but he has stuck with us and I now call him Dad. It’s quite nice as we were in desperate need of a father figure. His Virgo ways have taught me to handle money better, take better care of my things and communicate with my family in a more loving and productive way. He has also helped my mum be a more centered and stable person which of course makes a huge difference in my sibling’s and my lives. He’s always caring, attentive and makes good dad jokes that only he finds funny.
Plus, he pretty much has the most awesome last name ever… Holznagel.
Fin

at first i thought i didn’t know any virgos, then i tried the love calculator and discovered to my embarrassement that my boyfriend is indeed one. we’ve had a bit of a rough time lately but the calculator says we’re a 98.4% match which i’m taking as a sign to keep trying to make things better, and as a start i’ll nominate him as my fave virgo, he he.
my favorite virgo is my BFF Kristine.
because she is intelligent, hilarious, independent, and dead sexy.
Mickey Mouse – September 19th, 1928.
MUCH, MUCH LOVE, wouldn’t you say?
Why my sister is the venerable vixen of Virgos.
Rosy is my personal shopper. I can’t do it without her, trust me I’ve tried! She taught me how to recognize a Fendi from a FLendi. She has always taken up the big sister role without a thought and shares little with me to not worry me. Like sending mom to Spain, visiting her to keep her sane, handling her emails, phone calls, etc. Like spotting Dad’s internet, cell, and cable bill. Since I have been pregnant she has been more excited than I, I think. She’s shopped (surprise), researched the name to see what’s out there along the lines of the baby name (she found a city in our state we’ll visit), and constantly brings the subject up before I do. She’s already an amazing auntie. Additionally, she orchestrated our reunion this summer. We were in the same city but for reasons x, y, and z we would only contact each other by phone. Now we see each other at least weekly. She has helped my partner’s band with her tech savvy and pr connections. Not to mention catapulted her partner’s artistic dreams.
I can go on, but she taught me that great things come in small packages (i.e. think Tiffany’s box). Did I mention she’s the smallest of the fam? Height wise and jean size size! + she doesn’t rub it in everyone’s face.
Told ya she was a vivacious Virgo!
Man Ray
Being an art student one of my favorite virgos was always Man Ray. I just really always loved his style and how he always seemed to be expiramenting. He was a photographer, painter, cinematographer, etc. Some of my favorites of his are

U.S.S.VIRGO BABY!
hehe but also, Stephen King! Master of all kinds of freaky. I want to eat his brain.
and I’ve gotta give a shoutout to the sexiest rocker lady evar, JOAN JETT! I’m starting to see the magnetic qualities of these Virgos you keep harping on (wink!)
this Pisces idolizes you over the toppers with your effortless flamboyance…
and last but not least, I’ve always been fascinated by Ivan the Terrible, although Wikipedia says:
– Some authors more accurately translate it into modern English as “Ivan the Awesome” –don’t know about that, but damn, he was a crazy bastard. there’s a 1940’s film about him that I’ve always wanted to see.
Miyavi again! Haha, I adore his music, his childlike personality, his meaningful lyrics and his ever changing hairstyle. And his attitude towards life really make me feel as if I ought to be chasing my own dreams instead of giving up.
(but you and Nubby rock my world too! :D)
my sister! definitely the best virgo I know- she’s hilarious!
My mom, she’s strong, wise, beautiful and the best mom a girl can have.
Sean Connery, because he just gets better looking as he ages. Which is bizarre to me because I’m not normally fond of older men.
I would have to say my favorite virgo is Ivan the Terrible. His name is pretty rad. I mean, any name + adjective means you’re automatically awesome (regardless if you made any real contributions to society).
My mum. :)
And also, China Mieville, who is an incredibly interesting, thought-provoking writer & politician.
Without a doubt, my mom is my favourite Virgo.
She always encourages me to do what I love. Whenever I need her, she’s there. She helps me through the tough times, and celebrates the good times. In a way, she’s like a best friend to me. I love her so, so much.
My best friend Charlene! Her nickname is Cupcake because she’s so little & sweet. She’s truly beautiful & one of the best friends I have. I miss hanging out during the summer & making ridiculous videos, creating dance moves, taking tons of pictures, being mistaken for 16 year olds & having picnics wearing corsets.
myspace.com/strawberrycharlene
Madame de Polignac or Gabrielle,
Marie Antoinette’s closest friends. She was not a wild party girl as depicted, but a nice, graceful, & loving mother & friend. I’m very fond of her & happy we share the same birthday. :D

She’s just gorgeous. Her style is very cute, & I love her tattoos.

He’s a James Bond loving, BMW driving, Southpark quoting, Peanut M&Ms crunching, double-entendre jokester with the biggest heart, the truest laugh, and the bluest eyes :)
Tim Burton, for he makes the most magical movies ever, including upcoming Alice in Wonderland live action ahhhahahahahaha!!!
me! for the longest time i thought i was a libra bc i’m right on the cuff… but yay!
mah dawg! No seriously, my little pit bull! She’s a rescue dog, and I love her so much! She loves to snuggle and give kisses— and play tag!
I have to go with Louis XIV, because I’m a nerd.
Ooh, I know some incredible Virgos, but I can ‘t help but pick my mama, since she’s tough and smart and always gets thing done the right way AND on-time. I don’t know how, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t genetic, since I’m a total mess.
My favorite Virgo is my boyfriend. Except right now we’re on some sort of hiatus thing where I don’t even know if I can call him that. But he’s so perfectly Virgo! And he has the same birthday as another favorite Virgo of mine: Michael Jackson! Haha that’s where the similarities end.
Paul Reubens (a.k.a. Pee-wee Herman)!
The suit, the makeup, the laugh, the house full of kitschy vintage bliss — brilliant.
Ryan Ross! He’s the words and music behind Panic at the Disco and they are hands down my favourite band. I think I’d have to say he’s my favourite- he’s a brilliant mind and very much a nice boy, no matter what anyone else says.
...actually 3/4 of the band are Virgos (maybe that’s why they’re so awesome? :D)
BILL MURRAY!! Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters! Enough said!!
I’ll have to do some research and see who else I can come up with!
I am my favourite virgo, even though i was born on july 16th. but my ascendant is virgo and i think that influences me a lot. i mean, i am a total perfectionist – on wednesday i organized my boyfriend’s closet by colours. needless to say that that’s the only way i can live with mine. i also love ical, the endless possibilities of working with different-coloured calendars, planning months ahead, keeping track of all the birthdays, seeing private and professional life at a glance. one of my faults is that i am overly critical – especially when it comes to people i care about. i think it should be my new year’s resolution to work on that.
my virgo-personality is complemented nicely by the traits of my sun sign cancer i think. gee, aren’t i a wonderful person? =p so totally deserving of an amazing surprise nubby-pack! (sadly only in case she ships abroad though)
Micky Mouse. Hes so cute and he always made me smile as a kid.
Ivan the Terrible, definitely.
Steve Guttenberg for making all those awesome/shit films I watched over and over again as a child. Short Circuit, Oh my God. I have nothing but love for those films. The late 80s/early 90s would have been a bleaker time without him.
Adam Sandler for making Happy Gilmore. “What? Friends listen to ‘Endless Love’ in the dark!” I will never tire of it.
Alfonso Ribeiro – Carlton Fucking Banks. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is still one of my favourite shows.
Barry White for making smoooooooooooth lovin’ tunes. Walrus of Love baby, Walrus of Love.
Oh my God I just found out the actual exact dates for Virgos and my Grandad was a Virgo (02/09/1926). Here’s one I can talk about with real emotion.
You know how girls are either mummy’s girls or daddy’s girls? Well I was a Grandad’s girl. He was without a doubt the best Grandad that anyone could have. He was kind and generous and funny and incredibly intelligent. He was a fantastic old Irish man with the most insane imagination and he’d make up really funny crazy stuff to entertain me and my brothers. He had the best stories about growing up in Ireland on a farm with 6 sisters and 5 brothers (Catholics eh?)! He was born to be a dad and a Grandad and nothing made him happier than being surrounded by family.
He died 4 days after my 16th birthday and it’s still raw (I’m 22 now). It is still the worst thing that has ever happened to me. The amazing thing was that at his wake, people were laughing and and smiling, because he was the most lovable, funny man in the world and everyone had a story to tell about him. He just inspired happiness in people. When my mum was ringing people to tell them he’d died, she had people screaming and hanging up and crying down the phone. There was no-one with a bad word to say about him. It makes me so incredibly sad that he’s not around now. I want to know what he’d think of my boyfriend and my blue hair and my photography. I want him around when I graduate and when I pass my driving test and all the other landmark moments in life. And now I’m having a little cry :/
Also, he made the best goddamn pancakes in the ENTIRE WORLD. Those babies were almost an inch thick!
Sorry if that was a wild ramble but it’s had to put into words what he meant to me.

Miss. Candace, my best friend back home in michigan. We share a ridiculous love of all things Hello Kitty, Tokidoki and ridiculously overpriced designer goods. I recieved a package from her today with a handmade lion blanket and a louis vuitton (her place of employment) box filled with asian goodies! We are also obsessed with rhinestones, so we had them permently embedded in our chests via. microdermals together and she loves bacon.
I sound like I want to sell him.
WHO!? Jesus is my super all time favorite numeral uno Virgo! I guess you would pronounce it differently in Spanish though haha. More commonly known as Jay, he is my favorite not only because of the multitude of Jesus jokes you can make but as well as Mexican, as he is 25%. Trust me, it never gets old, especially since the man carries a knife. (He likes to think is a tough guy.)
WHY?! The wily Mexican man is also a tiny bit gangster. Okay maybe he only wanted corn rows cause it would tame his mass amounts of super-curly-fluff-tastic hair (which he never got case I made a point to attack his ponytail in appreciation whenever possibly) but still! He always defends me to the end, and lightens the most serious situations by using retro sland terms. Also he may be the modern day Romeo. He feels that chivalry is never lost, always a gentleman and a scholar. He cares for everyone where he see’s fit and holds me close when ever we are together. He’s sweet, witty and calm. He shares my love of astrology and life. He has supported me in every thing I am doing and always keeps a watchful eye out for any harm. His Achilles’ heel? Cookies and ice cream.
SAY WHAT!? He was born on a cusp. So he’s Virgo-Librian mutt! Haha, He’s full of ideas and has an addictive personality. Seriously not one person has ever hated him. I’ve heard horror stories of him flipping on someone and them never retaliating and just continuing thinking that he was their best friend. He’s a charmer, addressing all females as honey or kiddo, even if they happen to be 90 year old ladies with the wrong number. He’s very rational and anal about what he does. This applies cleaning too. He does mass amounts of cleaning.
He is my cookie lovin’-ghetto-50’s talking-video watchin’-hand holding-forehead kissing-Spanish gentleman!!
My favorite Virgo is one of my best friends, Chelle. She’s like a sister to me—we’ve been close for over a decade. I’m also an earth sign (Taurus), so naturally we get along great. She likes to move around and live in different places all over the world, have fantastic and usually dysfunctional love affairs, and create art. She’s awesome.
I had a hard time debating on who my favorite Virgo was, because my favorite band also has three Virgos in it >_> But I am going to go with Jon Walker from Panic at the Disco. He is so chill and awesome.
Bill Murry – Ghostbusters and any Wes anderson films are fine with me!
Steven King- Becasue i love his books
Moby – Becasue he is Moby
And finally
Queen Elizabeth the first – becasue well i don’t no i just love England
Hm, my favorite Virgo, aside from Gala, Nubby, and myself, would definetly be…
Rupert Grint!(Ron from Harry Potter)
why, you ask?
1. We have the same birthday, August 24th (things like that get me really excited, hah).
2. Two words: Fire crotch.
3. He is pale and freckly, like myself.
4. He has a UK accent which instantly makes him even cuter.
5. Rupert is such a cute name, perfect for such a cute boy.
6. I am a huge Harry Potter nerd.
7. He got the part in Harry Potter by making a video of himself rapping about how much he wanted the part, dressed as his female drama teacher.
8. He wanted to be an ice cream man when he was a kid, and actually bought an ice cream van with money he earned from Harry Potter.
and, 9. He rides unicycles.
:)
My mum is my favourite virgo. She everything I as a scorpio wish to be.
OTIS REDDING! Very little makes me happier than listening to his sweet sweet voice!
Peter Sellers. Amazing & eccentric & so talented.
Hugh Grant – he’s fantastic, hilarious and ridiculous!
me ;)
My favourite Virgos are 3 out of my 4 roommates, whose birthdays are on the 27th, 30th, and 31st, because they are all amazing and we always have a big triple birthday party for them!
So, turns out I know very few Virgos. I’ll have to remedy that in the future and go out of my way to hunt some down, cos you seem like pretty amazing people that I could learn some things from (my list making skills could be improved, and I’m definitely in need of a little more perfectionism). Due to the lack of Virgos in my personal life, I’m gonna have to go famous with my pick, and say Ani diFranco. Love her music, love her values, love her messages, love her spirit. My fave song of hers is Soft Shoulder.
Buddy Holly.
Apparently Cameron Diaz is a Virgo. Who knew huh?
I’m a little late for this, I couldn’t get into iCiNG (nooooo!) but here goes anyway!
My favourite Virgo of all time would be my friend Lucy. Haha, she’s pretty much a tall, blonde and curly version of you Gala! She’s psychopathic about bananas, a completely obsessive listmaker and a keen table-dancer :)
Sometimes (as a Scorpio), I want to punch her in her stupid smug perfectionist face, but mostly we get on like two houses on fire.
