Girl Crush?

Have you ever had a girl crush?


I think I have....!!


Before I go a head and claim I actually have one....I think I need to look it up in Urban Dictionary and find out exactly what a "girl crush" is, don't you? ....


Lets see..... they say.....


1. feelings of admiration and adoration which a girl has for another girl, without wanting to shag said girl. a nonsexual attraction, usually based on veneration at some level.


Yah, that pretty much sums it up.

2. an overwhelming sense of awe felt by a girl for another girl elicited by varying causes ranging from deep respect to unadulterated lust. may result in the any or all of the following: general euphoria, prolonged sense of inspiration, desire for intellectual-intercourse with crush, simple sexual arousal, etc

Yikes!!!! Oh no!!! No, no no! That is certainly not what I meant.

3. The admiration one girl has for another. It could be to do with hair, body, make-up, car, clothes, career, talents etc. Completely non-sexual. Girl crushes are generally very short-lived, as girls move on very quickly from trends.

I don't know about you, but I am offended! To make such a general characterisation of a woman and to suggest that we act on fleeting whims of fancy, that we move from one trend to the next without thought or reason, to imply that we lend our adoration so casually....

Okay.... so maybe... just maybe, there might be a smidgen of truth in that....

*ehem*

Definition number four is equally offensive (and unfortunately also somewhat true....)

4. A female who absolutely adores another female in the mostly nonlesbian way and tries to be EXACTLY like that chick and forgets her identity.

Now that we have that cleared up.... I can freely admit that I've had a few "girl crushes" over the years....

Actually, I can distinctly remember dying my hair red at sixteen because I wanted to look just like Kate Winslet in Titanic....

Some days I managed looking like her a little better than others....

I was going to post a picture of myself with a wickedly bad perm (dyed a godawful red) but I just cant seem to put my hands on it..... too bad! *innocent smile* ....

This summer I totally had a girl crush on Jewel. DB took me to see her in concert for my birthday and she rocked my world! This girl can sing!! My personal favorite is a ballad of hers called the Cowboy Waltz....

I mean, come on! The girl has a killer voice, a wicked fashion sense and is married to Ty Freakin' Murray, people! (btw, his middle name isnt really "freakin") How could you not love her?

Todays date, I most definitely have a "girl crush" on Beyonce.

She is drop dead gorgeous, can sing like a mother, act, dance, and at least seems pretty darn genuine to boot! Did everyone see her sing "At Last" for Barack and Michelle Obama? OMG!

But another thing I love about this gal, is that she is bootylicious baby! And pear shaped just like me!

Hollywood and Showbiz are seriously lacking in the healthy body image department and this girl makes no bones (pardon the pun) about lovin' her curves and workin' them out!

This summer... I am totally going to go for this look....


Which means that it was an especially good thing that I got to the gym today.... 'cause white pants and I would not get along too well at the moment!

And this summer I plan on looking fabulous in a bikini! Which is espcially hard for pear shaped woman like us (with chunky thighs, wide hips, curvy waists).....but Beyonce proves that it is possible.... which gives me hope!

Did I mention that she can sing? This song from Dream Girls has really been speaking to me lately and Beyonce does a wicked job of it...

Anyone else want to fess up to having a "girl crush"?
