Posted June 14, 200718 yr Maybe you already know that: Shirley was on Top 50 women is Scotland 2006. Guess what place? :naughty: See here Quote from the above link: Shirley Manson Singer and songwriter, 40 Lives Edinburgh and Wisconsin. Who is she? Being the offspring of an unlikely pairing (her geneticist father is a member of the team that cloned Dolly, and her mother is a big-band singer), there has never been anything average about little Shirley Ann Manson, with her unique fashion sense, fiery hair and personality to match. A musician since the age of seven, she won a place at the City of Edinburgh Music School with her piano skills, joining the theatre group there too. Shirley's experiences of bullying during this time would spark a life-long struggle with depression, and in 2000 she admitted that she self-harmed as a teenager - she is set to appear in an upcoming documentary on the subject. s a bona fide member of a rock band since the age of 16, Shirley was seen on MTV by Garbage, who signed her up as their lead singer in 1994. Their very first album - for which Shirley re-wrote many of the lyrics - sold five million copies worldwide, with such hits as 'Stupid Girl' and 'Only Happy When It Rains'. Modelling for Calvin Klein and co-producing the theme for James Bond film The World Is Not Enough helped to build her confidence, and when Garbage took a break in 2005, after a decade of work, Shirley wasted no time in putting a solo album together. With guest artists such as Jack White and former Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, the eagerly anticipated project is currently being recorded in Los Angeles. Turn-on Speaking your mind. Shirley is well known for her strong opinions and fearlessness in expressing them - she once called for the Spice Girls to be "tarred and feathered". She confesses to finding the glitz and glamour of the music industry more than a little superficial. Turn-off Being mean with money. An active participant in various Aids and breast cancer charities, she's also the patron of Edinburgh-based Waverley Care, and is generous with both her time and money. Dream date Any of the tall, lean and exotic players from NBA's San Antonio Spurs basketball team, of which Shirley is a diehard fan. Edited June 14, 200718 yr by Alin

June 14, 200718 yr Have you ever expected that? :P It actually makes perfect sense... 1. She is so gorgeous that her father must have been a geneticist to create something that beautiful.. 2. She has one of the most amazing/deep/touching/poignant/sensual voices that her mother must have been a big-band singer.. :naughty:
