It would be cool if you accepted just "boris" for Yeltsin. I've tried dozens of spellings...

Really? Dozens? Meaning at a minimum 24 guesses? And you couldn't string together Y-E-L-T-S-I-N? I'm curious as to what just a handful of your incorrect guesses were.

Not really. It's more her round face that makes her hair appear that way. You could say the same about Whoopi.

Her face looks taller than round to me, and look at how far her hair stands out from her face. I agree with makalanis, her hair was huge. That was a popular style in the 90s.

It's almost like some of these people are famous for their talents, not their looks. Not to mention that a few of them -- Julia Roberts and Jennifer Love Hewitt, in particular -- are absolute stunners.

I seem less in touch with the cultural zeitgeist with each passing decade. Did better on 90s than 00s and better on 00s than 10s. Whilst I suppose that happens with nost people I feel I'm too young for it to be a thing yet.

For the penultimate picture is that a single name, I always assumed it as two names and I just tried the latter part?

Lol, if you mean RuPaul, it's one name. His birth name is RuPaul Charles. A lot of people refer to him as Ru though, so I get the confusion.

hewson should be accepted. i really like to score a 100%, but i will NOT use this stupid, pretentious, over-the-top, self given, sorry ass, and let's not forget pretentious excuse of a pseudonym anymore

If you knew his real name, you obviously knew his stage name. That's like saying you won't say John Wayne because his real name was Marion Morrison? You don't deserve a 100%.

99% of the time I take this position too, but ruudsje's point in in this instance seems to be that he doesn't want to indulge this guy by using a nickname he gave himself that means "Good Voice" (he shortened "Bono Vox" to just "Bono"). I'm not sure I agree, but Bono is definitely pretentious and self-absorbed. I do think there is a difference between not using John Wayne's stage name just because you want to show off vs. not using Bono's stage name because it is egotistical and ridiculous.

If you tried that before getting the Ru Paul clue, then that is why it didn't work. As soon as you typed "Paul" it would have registered for Ru Paul.

...but the character of RuPaul is a woman. If you're talking about the real person playing the character RuPaul, then the quiz would feature his real name.

Level 68
Jul 24, 2024
RuPaul is not a character. That is his actual birth name. My understanding is that RuPaul doesn't really care whether someone uses "he" or "she" for RuPaul's pronouns, but he has generally referred to himself as a man. So "he" is certainly not wrong.
+3
Level 80
Sep 26, 2022
I honestly agree. That picture looks almost nothing like RuPaul aside from the fact that she owned and regularly wore those same earrings in the 90s. And yes, RuPaul Charles is a man, but typically when someone is in drag, as Ru is in that picture, they are referred to as "she," because they're presenting as a woman
