Hey Hey Rooney Mara.
So, this is a bit of an impulsive girl crush, seeing as I know literally zilch about her, but might I just say, she’s stunning! From what IMDB can tell me, she’s been quite attracted to darker roles throughout her acting career, so her 2011 part as “Lisbeth Salander” in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was nothing new. In fact, in order to ready herself for the part of “Lisbeth” Rooney cut and dyed her long brown waves, transforming them into a raven, chip-chop 70s punk style, got numerous piercings and taught herself skateboarding and kickboxing. So fucking badass. I am yet to see the movie, but am absolutely dying to. In the meantime, I’m enjoying a good old perv on Miss Mara’s hardcore-goth makeover. Mmm.
Hey Hey Béatrice Martin.
Holy ba-jesus, I simply cannot resist a girl who can sing, let alone one who can sing in French. This Quebec-born beauty only gets cooler the more that I find out about her. For example, when she was 15 she played keyboard in “post-hardcore” band (Wikipedia’s words, not mine), December Strikes First. What exactly “post-hardcore” means, I’m not entirely sure, but it sounds pretty fucking cool. She has since gone solo under the name Coeur de Pirate. Her original material is really beautiful, and you should definitely check it out, but I simply must show you this delicious cover: I Kissed A Girl (acoustic).
Hey Hey Mary Winstead.
You probably know her as “Romona Flowers” from that fucking extraordinary movie, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but Miss Winstead has left her pretty footsteps all over Hollywood. She’s starred in the likes of Die Hard 4.0, Make It Happen, Final Destination 3, Factory Girl and Sky High. This is kind of why I love her. She seems to have been quite successful in flying relatively below the radar. However, when she does step into the limelight, she glows.
Hey Hey Emma Louise.
This Aussie-born songbird is only a wee 20 years old this year, and already she’s lapped up a number of awards. I was first informed of her beautiful existence by my cousin, who knew I would enjoy her sound. And boy do I! Here is one of her most celebrated tracks, Jungle. Can’t wait to hear what else this gorgeous lady has to fill my ears with!
I’m slightly afraid that the small presence I once had on Tumblr has completely faded away into nothingness… but basically, I’ve been overseas and am now home. For anyone who cares :) Posting will resume shortly!
Oh also, I cut off all my hair.
Hey Hey Nicole Warne.
I’d like to think I discovered her and her wonderful knack for re-beautifying pretty vintage frocks, but really, I latched on to her about a year late. Miss Warne has been doin’ her thing since 2009. What exactly is “her thing”, I hear you ask? Well, basically, she hunts and gathers and trawls and digs through a maze of second-hand clothing shops in search of has-been’s, and then injects the life back into them (a wash, a hem and maybe a bleach) and then she sells them online at Gary Pepper Vintage. She also hosts a positively lovely blog, where she keeps her followers up-to-date on the goings-on in her busy and glamourous life, and posts beautiful pictures of herself wearing the latest Gary Pepper Vintage gear. And naturally, she’s very nice to look at.
Hey Hey this lady.
Her Tumblr followers (though they may only be a small bunch) are a lovely bunch, and they make her smile. They keep her fingers tap-tap-tappin’ on that keyboard and encourage her eyes to continue sifting through cyberspace in search of the prettiest pictures of the prettiest ladies. She would like to thank said followers for allowing her creative juices to run free, and more importantly, for appreciating them when they drip onto their dashboards. She would however, ask that you refrain from filling her dash with such beautiful and intriguing things, as she needs to study, and fears she may fail. Aside from that, she loves you all very much (well, as much as one can love a mysterious internet fiend that they’ve never met).
Hey Hey Haley Bennett.
She’s still somewhat “up-and-coming”, which makes her terribly exciting. Haley has a bunch of movies for her CV, but the one in which she best demonstrates her girl-crush-ability is the 2010 acid trip, Kaboom. It is such a strange, but brilliant movie, and Haley plays a hot, pessimistic, lesbian who gets caught up in a nasty relationship with a girl who possesses voodoo powers not to be messed with. I wasn’t kidding when I said it was an acid trip. I haven’t seen Haley in anything else, but I’m sure she will be in hot demand in no time. I’ve got my eye on you Miss Bennett.
Hey Hey Sienna Miller.
She’s a Brit-USA, mixed, goodie-bag of designing, modelling, acting and being drop dead gorgeous basically all of the time. Miss Miller succeeded in making my list of girl crushes when she blew me away with her performance in Factory Girl. She played the neurotic, quirky and childish Edie Sedgewick, muse and friend of Andy Warhol. Sienna absolutely killed this role. Not only did she display her ever-superb acting talent, but she looked the part, which really just added a whole new dimension to the movie, making it that much more real and convincing. This girl seeps talent, and I look forward to seeing what else she busts out in the future.
Hey Hey Drew Barrymore.
Well she’s just stunning really, isn’t she? Yes. Yes she really is. Drew has been skipping around Hollywood ever since she was young enough to skip around. She has therefore left quite a prominent mark on the blockbuster-scene. However, I think my favourite of her roles was one she played back in ‘95: “Casey Roberts” in Mad Love. It’s a beautiful movie, and Drew plays her part fantastically. I also loved her in Donnie Darko, though her part wasn’t huge, she still played it wonderfully. It should also be known that Miss Barrymore was responsible for the theatrical genius that is Whip It, starring pretty lass Ellen Page and a bunch of other badass Roller Derby ladies. Her talents lies not only in acting, it would seem. Hooray for that!
Hey Hey Emma Roberts.
I’m not going to lie, this pretty young lady waltzed into my heart as “Nancy Drew” back in 2007. However, since then she has continued to woo me with parts in Wild Child, Valentine’s Day and It’s Kind of a Funny Story. She is the niece of another pretty lady, Miss Julia Roberts, and it is clear that she was a great influence on Emma. I recently spied Scream 4 on the shelf at my local DVD store. Emma plays one of the lead roles, so I can’t wait to get my mitts on it.
Hey Hey Sophie Richardson.
I feel a little strange admitting to this crush, as this pretty lady lives in my area. Nevertheless, I have overcome my initial awkward-stalker fears and decided that if she were to stumble upon this post she’d probably be flattered and stoked to have the extra promotion. So, what makes Miss Richardson such lovely crushing material? Well, she takes some of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever laid eyes on. She then posts her shots on her blog, Sensing Owls for the world to see. And I must confess, whenever she experiences a period of blogger inactivity, I get a little impatient and crazy. You’ll understand once you take a gander. Her photos have this amazing way of relaxing me, and reminding me that there is beauty everywhere, if you only take the time to look. Thank you for endless hours of visual pleasure Sophie.
Hey Hey Kirsten Dunst.
When exactly this pretty lady skipped into my heart, it’s hard to say. I think probably one of the first roles I remember seeing her play was “Mary-Jane” in Spiderman. However, since then I have drooled over her in the likes of Elizabeth Town, The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette and How To Lose Friends & Alienate People. All of these were fantastic movies, and Miss Dunst was exceptional in each and every role she played. Of course, she’s done many, many more, and I have no doubt there’ll be many, many more theatrical masterpieces to come for this dainty, blonde, American/German, pixie. However, as well as being an incredibly talented actress, Kirsten is also a beautiful singer, and has contributed to a few of Coconut Records songs, including this pretty little number: Summer Day. Kirsten Dunst, you are a pretty lady inside and out.
Hey Hey Kathryn Prescott.
I think that my heart actually shattered every time that “Naomi” hurt Kathryn’s character “Emily” in British TV Series Skins. Kathryn is so beautiful, and plays the role of “Emily” so wonderfully. Wiki tells me two rather interesting facts about this pretty lady, 1) she’s 6 minutes older than her twin sister Megan, and 2) she’s got a total of 14 body piercings. Wiki also tells me that Kat will continue on her role as “Emily” in the upcoming Skins movie. Thank goodness for that!
Hey Hey Abisha Uhl.
So I’ve just discovered this amazing all-girl band and I’m really wondering where they’ve been all my life. If you haven’t already, say hello to Sick of Sarah. The lead singer Abisha Uhl, has the same sexy, tomboy, charm that you might expect from “Shane” in The L Word. To be perfectly honest, I really don’t know much about her, but I sure as heck want to know more! Miss Uhl, welcome to my life.
