As someone who works with public figures, celebrities and musicians a lot in my 'normal job,' I can say that most people project fetishy type fantasies onto very normal people who are simply accomplished at their skill of acting. If I have been able to draw anything from meeting hundreds of these famous types, I think that athletes are FAR more likely to be kinky than people who are in theater of any kind, especially athletes in dangerous sports. I think it has something to do with risk taking, adrenalin junkies and physical prowess. Lots of people who "act" for a living tend to be outrageous only in very structured and safe situations and their very attraction to this kind of profession allows them safe ways to explore personalities far from their own.

I would have to agree with this. I know many people in the entertainment industry, some of whom dress in fetish wear, some of whom have acted in roles that involved BDSM, but almost all of whom are actually quite vanilla. So I'm not sure one can really determine this SOLELY by their professional personas/dress/songs, etc. I think you would need more information than that about someone to draw clear conclusions. Although if someone is repeatedly dressing/alluding to BDSM, particularly more in their private lives, I think that different conclusions could be drawn.
I also do not think one can draw any conclusion from personality per se. A lot of people on this thread are assuming that a forceful personality means Dominant, and a softer personality means submissive. Well, I have a very forceful personality in my professional life. And I am a submissive. My male submissive friends are ALL totally dominant personalities in their professional lives. One of my previous Dominant partners was the most mild mannered man on the face of the planet. How someone behaves in public does not necessarily tell us what role they enjoy behind closed doors. I think one has to be careful about drawing those sorts of conclusions. I think the connection between public persona and private persona is much more nuanced than that.
In addition, many people in the entertainment industry are paid, and build their careers, on being outrageous in some way, shape, or form. So again, dressing provocatively, or behaving in a provocative manner becomes part of their public persona. It may, or may not tell us something about their private persona. [sm=2cents.gif]
