( Birthday) Girl Crushin'

Yay - today actually is my birthday! And remember when you were a young kid and to celebrate you got to have a sweet birthday party? And if you'd been really good and asked nicely and nagged enough you got to have a slumber party? Slumber parties were the best kind of parties a young girl could wish for - a bunch of your best girlfriends, some movies ( on VHS ), some chocolate and lollies and chips and lots of Coke in an effort to stay up all night long! ( Clearly our parents weren't overly concerned about childhood obesity back then.... ) Point is, slumber parties were awesome, and they were only super awesome when all your best friends were there. And what are best friends if not your favourite girl crushes?

So, in the spirit of the slumber party - and because this is my blog, and its my birthday and I'll fantasise if I want to - I present to you a list of celebrities that I have a bit of a girl crush on, and that would so totally be invited to my ( completely hypothetical ) slumber party this year!

1. Keira Knightley - its probably partly because I have a girl crush on her version of Elizabeth Bennett, but I love Keira. Every interview with her I've ever read she comes across as completely down to earth and self-deprecating. Plus she has gooooorgeous clothes - and you know that if we were anywhere near the same clothing size she would totally let you borrow them!

2. Jennifer Lawrence - Jennifer is my newest girl crush to my list. I think I like her so much because she's all legs and boobs and womanly curves and proud of it. Plus, I've seen a few interviews with her now and she's a bit hilarious. I reckon she'd be the girlfriend who'd appreciate a drink, a dirty joke and a cheeky perve on the opposite sex!

3. Zooey Deschanel - I feel like Zooey would totally get all my little quirks and idiosyncrasies. I mean, she is pretty much the poster girl quirk ( or ' manic pixie ' as I've heard her described ) and i'm totally going on the assumption that the real Zooey isn't that far removed from her character of Jess on " The New Girl ". ( Also, can't Jess and Nick get together already? ) Oh, and you should totally check out the blog/e-zine she helped create, HelloGiggles .....

4. Anne Hathaway - I feel like Anne is one of these actresses who really polarise people.... You either love her or you hate her. I come down firmly on the side of 'love'. I think she's funny, and vibrant and after her accidental, lady parts flashing ' wardrobe malfunction ', I think she proved herself very classy. Doesn't every good group of girlfriends need a bit of class?

So there you be - my celebrity girl crushes. Now if only they lived closer, were a few sizes bigger so I could borrow their clothes and, oh yea, if only they actually KNEW ME.
So who are you girl crushing on? And would you come to my slumber party if I asked?
