I had to choose Joanne over Suzanne Sully, which is odd because my name is Suzanne but Joanne is a brunette like me and this wins hands-down (every time) in the role model stakes. Now there's a female thing! Do men like other men because of their hair colour?!
Joanne was a teen singer in the group the Human League. Plucked from the streets of Sheffield by father-figure Phil Oakey, the girls rose to fame by smearing on the blusher to nuclear effect and by, well, merely looking so bored. This was ultimately their appeal because their singing was flatter than average, but still, maybe this was their appeal too.
Here is a wonderful clip of the Human League in the first episode of OTT singing 'Do or Die'. Look out for Joanne's Siouxsie Sioux type eye make-up under that uncompromising fringe.
Joanne Catherall (born 18 September 1962)

I'm loving this. I had the pleasure of meeting Joanne and Susan on several occasions through work, and they are diamonds.
Keep up the work, will we be seeing Choc a Girl from Chocablock?
