inspiration icon... zooey deschanel

i've got a few girl crushes... we all do, right?

these are the girls that you are part jealous of, part inspired by, part in awe of, and part preeetttty sure that if you had the chance to hang out with them for an afternoon that the two of you would become inseparable b.f.f's from now until forever?

well yeah, that's how i feel about zd. this kitten never ceases to amaze me.

let's count the reasons why...

1. she owns her personal style.
2. she was in elf.
3. she can act.
4. she can sing.
5. she just got her own tv show.
7. she blogs.
8. she's married to a musician.

...but i think the most amazing thing about her is that her sweetly coy, girly, quirky, whimsical flirty-ness manifests itself in all that she does. i love that. she oozes herself in everything she touches and that is rad.

now if only we could just happen to bump into each other, say some witty remark that gets us both giggling...and then chatting...and then shopping...sharing a glass or two of bubbles...going to a show together...then karaokeing and dancing together... and eventually splitting a best friends charm together...that would be awesome.

wouldn't it?
