Feminist icon: Rose Tyler
Dear Rose Tyler,
Blimey! What have you got yourself into, girl?
Not only are you being flung around the known (and at times unkown) universe, fighting all sorts of evil, but the bloke you're travelling with has died and come back to life as a right hot Mookydude.
You've fought off werewolves, zombies, fat farting aliens, Cybermen and Daleks. And you've met Queen Victoria, which makes us most jealous. You've also seen the end of the world, which is something to boast about.
And you're still a chav! Unbelievable that a chav could hold such esteem in our hearts. (Aside from lady Sovereign).
Long live the time travelling hoodie!

Rose Tyler's background:
Rose Tyler is the latest companion in the Doctor Who sci-fi tv series. Nuff said? Hardly.
Rose Tyler's father died when she was six months old and she was brought up on a council estate by her mother. Whilst working as a shop girl in Hendricks, a big London department store, Rose found herself unemployed and in the company of an alien time traveller when the shop dummies came to life and tried to kill her. Not the best of days, all things considered.
She dumped her going nowhere boyfriend and started travelling through time and space (well, mainly time really, considering she's rarely gone any further than London or Cardiff...) with the mysterious Doctor. Who, when facing the Daleks, gave his life to save Rose. Which was sweet of him.
But better than that, he regenerated into a younger, better-looking model.
She's still travelling with him, and who can blame her.
Except it's all fictional, but we're not going to let that stop us, are we?
Rose Tyler Best Known For:
Travelling through time in the TARDIS with the best looking Time Lord. Being gritty and tough and so very adaptable. (She dumped her boring boyfriend to travel in a box with an alien, that's a lot of life changes...)
She also cries a fair bit, but we can't really hold that against her. Nor the fact she nearly destroyed the universe stopping her dad from dying.
Rose Tyler Least Known For:
Being made a Dame some forty odd years before the title was created, but we could be splitting hairs here...
Mooky Factor:
Stunningly high, indeed. Not only has she held her own against some of the universe's greatest threats, she's also played by Billie Piper. Who has also managed to escape some of the universe's greatest threats by managing to salvage a decent career from the ashes of a dodgy pop career and the train wreck of a marriage to arrogant ginger tosser Chris Evans.

Mission statement
Mookychick believes that climbing trees and riding giant turtles is more fun and girly than worrying about make-up. But if you want to worry about make-up instead of turtles? Fine by us. Be you feminist, kitten, punk, emo, indie, goth, witch, vegan, horror junky, intellectual, christian goth, corset queen, geek, unicorn, sea monkey... be you into alternative style, alternative health, spirituality, comics, manga, j-pop, harajuku or jock culture... we will always love you.
