As a follow-up to my previous list, Around the world with Listal's members, I decided to do the same thing with the American States.

To be added, you have to :

- be American.
- provide a State from where you were born or live right now.
- provide an American celebrity to represent you. It is pretty neat if the celebrity comes from the concerned state, but it is not a must. I would rather that you pick someone you really like.




Suggestions are most welcome!

Jeraff, yew best watch yer back. We's enemies now, an' I done gots the gunpow'er ter back it up.

*Turns around and counts to ten.*
Posted: 11 months ago at Jun 25 22:00
@Pumpkinate - Hahahahaha. Ahem, I mean...this list ain't big enough for the both of us. If'n yer sore 'bout it then we'll settle it yore way. 'Cuz I'll slap iron any time, any place. But just so's ya know, it warn't mah aim to disrespect ya.
Posted: 11 months ago at Jun 25 23:35
Well I;m from Texas as well so can I still be on this list? And if so I pick Matt McCounhey(sp?) He's from Austin TX. I'm from the DFW area
Posted: 11 months ago at Jun 26 12:55
Unfortunately for Pumpkinate and jay-jay, even though you both deserve a spot, there could be only one for Texas... Maybe for my next list?
Posted: 11 months ago at Jun 26 14:54
Nebraska here, and I believe the beautiful Gabrielle Union was born here (Omaha), so she'll work
Posted: 11 months ago at Jun 26 17:55
I notice you've added AFIoscar, who also lives in Texas. Didn't realize jay-jay is from here too, so that's at least 4 of us I know of now. And I thought I left a comment on your profile, but I'd prefer my representation be Steve Martin instead of Tommy Lee Jones (not that I dislike TLJ...I just think Steve's more "me").
Posted: 11 months ago at Jun 26 18:39
Thanks for including me -
Awesome photo of the Philadelphia skyline - well done!
Posted: 11 months ago at Jun 26 20:49

Charlotte, North Carolina bayyyyyybbbeeeeeee!!!!!!

And remember, I don't fuck my cousin. That's West Virginia.
Posted: 10 months, 4 weeks ago at Jun 27 8:50
I chose Vincent Price to represent me - even though I'm female - because he was born and raised in St. Louis (the city pictured for Missouri). Pretty cool, huh? ;)
Posted: 10 months, 4 weeks ago at Jun 27 12:07
@JayTrotter, love your comment!. It reminded me of a T-shirt I got from West Virginia with a sheep head on it and underneath

WEST VIRGINIA
Where men are men and sheep are nervous


not bad, ain't it?
Posted: 10 months, 4 weeks ago at Jun 27 16:55
Haha, I didn't know west Virginia had a bad rep

Im from Arizona, already enjoying the extreme summer heat
I don't know any great actors from Arizona, so I will pick Sam elliott from right next door. He is good in westerns and is in a good tombstone movie, set in Arizona.
Thanks for putting me on the list johan
Posted: 10 months, 4 weeks ago at Jun 28 0:45
Texan here...I would like the late Farrah Fawcett to represent me.
Posted: 10 months, 4 weeks ago at Jun 28 1:12
@AFIoscar, unfortunately, Texas is already taken...
Posted: 10 months, 4 weeks ago at Jun 28 2:19
I'm excited to see this completed :)
Good pic of the grand canyon, are you using pics of famous cities and landmarks or just ones that look nice?
Posted: 10 months, 4 weeks ago at Jun 28 2:50
@Mackenzi, I try to make a combination of famous cities and landmarks and the pics have to look nice aswell. I have to say it is little bit more difficult than my previous list but the end result should be pretty cool indeed!
Posted: 10 months, 4 weeks ago at Jun 28 9:55
Mid-Ohio, the land of...no clue. If I can have a new actor, I'd like Clancy Brown because he's from Urbana, the town I live in now, or John Legend cause we went to high school together.

Posted: 10 months, 4 weeks ago at Jun 28 10:16
Oh thanks for adding me to your Around the USA list. c: I'm currently living in Michigan. Awesome! c:

I'd prefer Leo DiCaprio for my celebrity, although he isn't from Idaho. My hometown is Boise, Idaho. I'm liking this list idea, good work.

Posted: 10 months, 3 weeks ago at Jun 29 19:35
Thanks for adding me to your list! I'm from Tennessee. If I had to pick an actor/director, I suppose I would pick Quentin Tarantino since we are both from the same hometown. :p
Posted: 10 months, 3 weeks ago at Jun 30 3:30
Cool, almost 1/4 of the way there! Looking good!
Posted: 10 months, 3 weeks ago at Jul 1 3:00
Thanks for adding me! As of about one week, I live in Alaska. I'm about 99.9% that there's no one remotely famous from Alaska other than Jewel, so can Kate stay up there since I also used to live in Cali?

Posted: 10 months, 2 weeks ago at Jul 9 11:44
I'm originally from Oregon which you don't have yet. I'd have Matt Groening, one of the creator's of Simpsons, represent if that's alright. If it has to be an actor though the only other Oregon born actor I know is Joel Moore from Dodgeball, haha.
Posted: 10 months, 2 weeks ago at Jul 9 13:25

one critical thought Vince Vaughn should be Illinois, even though he is from (born) in Minnesota he lived and loves Chicago... many of his movies are based out of chicago and he considers it his home base....now.
just thoughts
Posted: 8 months, 2 weeks ago at Sep 8 8:57
@Jacques_Stones, Xanadon't picked Vince Vaughn to represent Minnesota so you should discuss it with him but thanks for the suggestion!

Maryland represent! I'm super stoked to represent Maryland I love my home :D. Also I've met john Waters A TON of times at art galleries and small social gatherings. Hes one of the nicest celebrities/ directors I've ever met. We sat down at the bar and drank shots of Markers Mark together. It was great.
Posted: 8 months, 1 week ago at Sep 14 2:42
@TeamDaiGurren, when I was younger, I used to go every summer to the USA to visit my host familly in Baltimore, so Maryland is definitely my favorite state. and it's pretty awesome that you met John Waters!
