Siouxie Sioux. But not Billy Idol.
Carol Ann Duffy.
Angela Eagle, the only cool politician.
Mariella Frostrup.
Victoria Coren, but ABSOLUTELY not Giles.
Eddie Izzard.
Grace Jones, especially when using a hula hoop at the Queen's jubilee concert
Daniel Craig, the only cool James Bond.
Dr Frank Mugisha, leader of gay rights campaigns in Uganda, and the coolest person in the world.
These are all cool people - don't know Angela Eagle though.
I'd add Henning Mankell who wrote the Wallander books, David Bowie, and Gianluigi Buffon. Maybe Germaine Greer too, though I haven't heard much of her lately.

Shunji Iwai (male film director)
Richard Farnsworth (actor)
Tetsuya Watari (actor)
