lady-crush five

i seem to have temporarily lost my blo-jo.

my blog mojo, that is.

why, what did you think i meant, gutterbrain?

anyway, i promise to make serious efforts to track it down, but until i find it again, please be satisfied with the following photo gallery of a few lady-crushes i have had in the past.

yup, we've had the GF3, we've had the GR3, and now its time for the LC5.

i just couldn't narrow it down to three for this one, so filled with lady love am i.

in a totally non-sapphic, giving props to my sistahs, r-e-s-p-e-c-t, kinda way.

mostly.

so these be thems:


1) patricia 'i see dead people' arquette, circa 'true romance':
















it was spunkrat arquette's appearance at the oscars in a leather catsuit when i was about 13 that first alerted me to to the fact that women could make me feel tingly too.

and for that i thank her.

2) janet jackson, circa 'rhythm nation':
















she might be spawned from the loins of insanity itself, but BY FUCK CAN SHE DANCE!

and to a gal like me, who has been dancing in one form or another since the age of four - be it jazz, ballet, belly, salsa, funk, hip hop, booty or pole - that's all that matters.

also, any woman who loves her baps as much as old "malfunction" mcjackson does is okay by me.

3) dolly parton, circa ALWAYS AND FOREVER:















i've documented my everlasting love and admiration for the queen of dollywood before, but here are a few more reasons why dolly reigns supreme:

- 'I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park. '

- 'I wanted to be the first woman to burn her bra, but it would have taken the fire department four days to put it out.'

- 'I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde'.

*sigh*

(i must mention here also that i hold bette midler in the same high esteem as i do the divine miss p, but that i felt it necessary only to include one of them on today's LC5 for diversity reasons.

you can however read all about my midler madness here.)

4) tina fey and amy poehler (these two cannot be separated), circa now:













current hosts of saturday night live's coveted 'weekend update' spot, collaborators on 'mean girls' - one of my all time favourite movies - fey and poehler and living proof that smart, funny girls are THE SHIT!

if i could be granted one wish right now, it would be that myself and miss jessculture could share a double date with these most fabulous testaments to girlpower.

but only if they come dressed as the bush twins.

5) senator hillary rodham clinton, circa LOOK HOW CUTE SHE LOOKS IN THIS PHOTO:






















i can't really explain this one, but i think it is mostly to do with her composure in the face of controversy.

philandering husbands, lesbionic rumours, frequent bad hair days - nothing fazes this woman!

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!
