Great Narcissists Throughout History

With my deep seeded love and nerdy affection for history I cannot help but pay homage to the great narcissists that came before ME. Therefore, I have compiled a list of the 10 most influential narcissists throughout time:

10. Justin Timberlake...Thank you for announcing that you, and you alone, were bringing sexy back. We are all very thankful for your contributions on that one.

9.Oprah Winfrey...This fabulous mogul billionaire extroardinaire simply has but to slap her signature "O" on things and -BAM- she's making coin! (aspire to this financialy productive form of narcissism).

8. Queen Elizabeth I (aka The Virgin Queen)...She was enough of a narcissist to be well aware that no man was good enough for her. I appreciate this sort of blatant hubris. You Go Girl!

7.Marilyn Monroe...As America's favorite blonde bombshell she proudly sang Happy Birthday Mr.President to her not so secret lover John F. Kennedy. What makes this a great narcissist moment is that Ms. Monroe did this with audio rolling knowing full well that Mrs. Kennedy would be able hear it, every sultry word, for word.

6. George W. Bush...He was confident enough to lead a country which during his presidency began the "English Only Movement" all the while, he him self is yet to have fully mastered the English language. Now thats some narcissistic Strategery!

5.Frida Kahlo....Is one of the last centuries better known painter's, as she should be given that most of her painting are of herself. I never forget a face....that I have seen 50 times before!

4.Henry Ford....This motor god is known for having revolutionized the automotive industry in America and thanks to his narcissism it is true. They say that necessity is the mother of invention and he soooooo badly needed to keep every penny he could for himself that he was forced to invent the assembly line production system which forever changed the world of transportation.

3.Christopher Columbus...On his search for the new world he so believed in his own horrible navigational skills that he took an incredibly wrong turn and landed in the America's during his attempt to reach India by sea. Like any truly great narcissist he was not prepared to admit any fault so he simply named the people's he discovered Indians. Simple and incredibly narcissistic answer to that little mix up.

2. Sigmund Freud...with very little time and effort it can be uncovered that most of the "brilliant" psychological revelations of Freud's are merely an explanation of how his own twisted mind worked; but thanks Freud for telling us that sexual desire is a primary motivation for human life. (we may never have figured it out without him!)

1. Eve....as in Adam&Eve. This fabulous narcissist is quite literally the mother of narcissism. Believing so fervently in her own impenetrable fabulousness that she brought SIN and all it's glory to God's green earth.

I must say thank you to these fabulous forefather's of narcissism. Without them the world as we know it would not be the same, and I dare say it would be a very boring place to be.
