Around these parts, there has always been a lot of list compiling, due to an all time favorite movie of mine (Top 5 Reasons To Covet John Cusack), and really, who doesn't love a good compilation of things from a common theme?
Inspired by catching part of a certain Disney movie on cable, here is this weeks list:
Top 5 Idolized Characters From Childhood (and still today...)

Jo March
Adored For... Standing by her family while seeking out her passions - Her fancy writing cap - Not settling for anything except what she truly wants - Sense of adventure - Bold, brassy, bashing about attitude -
Samantha Albertson
Admired For... her passion for writing - doing a séance - the McGiver type communication system (involving tin can phone, flashlights, and walkie talkies) between friends - diving into a storm vent and nearly dying to save a BFF bracelet -
Rose Calvert/ Dawson, etc.
Adored For... - Being a bold, smart lady for young girls to admire who were yet to be distracted by 90's Leo - Glorious dresses - Show stopping hats - Accomplishing her wildest dreams - "I'd rather be his whore than your wife" (Nailed it!) - Spitting/drinking/riding like a man AND being classy -

Sensing a definite theme going on here; even when I was younger the ballsy, pushing against stereotypes, artsy, adventure bound, impassioned characters always got my attention.
Anyone else have some fantastic characters you used to/still idolize?
