More fun in today's paper

Reading further into the Independent I came across this article on Yindies; apparently a new class of half-yuppy half-indie types. It includes a silly quiz to ascertain whether you're a Yindie or not, with this question which caught my eye:
7. If you could only read one thing, it would be:

a) Heat.

b) A scurrilous blog by an anonymous cross-dressing lifestyle columnist.

c) Horse and Hound.
Now, do I count as a "lifestyle columnist"? If so, yay me! I'm a Yindie icon!

Or, do you actually have to write in a newspaper to be a columnist?

If so, does this blog exist? Is it one of the blogs I already read?? Come on, own up, which one of you is a lifestyle columnist in real life?!
Kris  It's me. I admit it. I have a large prosthetic nose and publish under the name A. A. Gill. 
Becky EnVérité  I knew it! 
Jessica  I did the quiz, I think I might be a Yindie :-/ 
Jane  Err Becky it can't be you - you're not anonymous, but you are still an icon... Well to me you are.

I did the quiz too I'm half Yindie and half unquantifable. 
Becky EnVérité  Yeah I'm definitely an icon. Possibly the Recycle Bin. 
Charlotte  According to wikipedia

An icon (from Greek εἰκών, eikon, "image") is used, particularly in modern popular culture, in the general sense of symbol — i.e. a name, face, picture or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities.

Umm in that case you are definitely are an Icon.....just need to find the qualities you embody....answers on a post card to.....

Lana  I think most of us round here are TOBYs 
Becky EnVérité  Jugs with faces on? :-S 
Alli' Cat'  TOBY or not TOBY? That is the question. Sorry, couldn't resist. 
Lana  TOBY == To Old to Be a Yuppy/Yindie

Yindie reminds me of an Aboriginal rockband in Aussie called Yotha Yindie
