The Most Influencing

As it does every year, TIME magazine's list of the 100 most influential people was recently published. I was flicking through the magazine today and reading some of the pieces. The best thing about them is that they are all written by people who know the influential person in question or by someone that is has a somewhat relevant opinion because of what they do. And so, Lady Gaga's is by Cindy Lauper, Robert Pattinson's by Chris Weitz (director of the Twilight saga), Lea Michele's by Olivia Newton-John, Marc Jacobs' by Victoria Beckham, and Liya Kebede's (in the 'Heroes' section) by Tom Ford.

The little texts about all the 100 people try to sketch out why these people are on the list to those who might not be familiar with them. For soVIPzone, I picked out the ones that were fashion related, even if somehow remotely. Out of all of them, I found Lea Michele's addition the most surprising. Glee is quickly becoming a phenomenon and she's right in the centre of it. I had noticed her before in "Spring Awakening" and she seems to be climbing steps up the red-carpeted ladder, so we'll see where she is headed.
Do you agree with the additions to the list? Who would you add?
I'm off.
