espresso bar circa 1999

i still remember all the words to crisis' albums.
i adore karyn crisis. her voice is so beautiful, and it's all wonderfully full of emotion and agony, mental illness, anger towards bad men. it's good stuff, though certainly not as relevant to a 24 year old woman as it was to a 14 year old girl.
i need more strong female role models. angela carter is my favorite one, but she is pretty damn dead. i'm not really that big on super duper feminist ladies, so i'm not totally sure where to look. i tend to look up to artists. they relate to my interests, and there aren't any female public figures i can think of that i admire.
