Girl Crush

I just read this article in the NYT about girl crushes and it got me thinking. I’ve had girl crushes before where the chick is so cool and so classy you want to get to know them. But it isn’t sexual; you just want some of their cool to rub off on you.

I can’t imagine myself as anyone’s girl crush. I don’t think I’m cool enough. Don’t get me wrong, I do think I’m a cool chick but not the kind of put together cool that some women have. Some women just have that thing where they look perfect all day and never look undone. I, on the other hand leave the house looking half way decent and get to the train sweating like a slave and my clothes all twisted up. Never mind what I look like by the end of the day. I do notice that the women I hang with are girl crush material.

For example, Vic is GC material because she’s smart, talented, beautiful and funny as shit. Sug is definite GC material because she’s traveled, cultured, & hella stylish. TB is GC material cause she has this wonderful laugh and this fantastic earthy approachability. DQ is GC material cause she is brave, smart, has great taste in music and can sing and act her ass off. Tash Boogie is GC material cause she’s smart, funny and multi-talented. And the list of fly chicks I hang with can go on forever.

Hmmm. With all this girl crush material around me, I may not be far from it. Maybe some of their cool has rubbed off on me. Who knows?
