Honestly, I don't follow Gossip Girl. I tried watching the first few eps but it just didn't stick with me, `ya know? I guess some girls watch it for the fashion, but I find even that waaaaayyyyyyyyyy overdone and well, ugly sometimes. And as a long-time fan of the preppy look, well, let's just say I've seen better. Much better. *cough*J.Crew*cough*APC*cough*

That being said, my jaw dropped when I saw this:

(from EIU, supposedly taken from a GG set)
HOT. HOT. HOOOOOOTTTTTTTT. *total girl crush mode: ON*

I did think she looked familiar and when I read the line, "Apparently, her name is Willa Holland, previously a star in the OC." [reference] I was OMGITSMARISSASLITTLESISTER (yes, that's one word). I actually watched the OC and I can tell you for sure she did not look this hot back then. Heck, she looks like a mini Kate Beckinsale now! In the OC she looked like the brat who did reckless things, stole from her parents, and hung out with the wrong kind of people (hmm... pretty much sums up 70% of teenagers, whoops). But the point is in the OC, she looked like a kid. But in Gossip Girl, she looks HOT.

So may gahd! If this is what GG does to you, sign me up for some GG-fying.

*wipes off dust*

*TAP*TAP*

Hellllooooooo? Is this thing ooooooonnn?

SO. Quite an unexpected hiatus. Which I intend to break tonight if only* to introduce you to one of my latest girl crushes, Gigi Leung.

*Goodbye 124 lab rep, I shall not see you again tonight.

The other night I was trying to write an entry on "The 10 Guys I'd do in an Elevator" but got stuck at #3. After Takeshi Kaneshiro it seemed like no one else was worthy (heh). Top 3 lists didn't sound as exciting as top 10's, so like any normal person addicted to the Internet I wound up surveying the people online.

aidzz, who knows me very well, tossed the idea of posting a "10 Cutest Girls" list instead. I think it was meant to be a joke, but I called her genius. After all, I had tons of girl crushes, and it was about time I told the world about them. There are too many cool girls out there to cram into one entry, so instead I'll post on one girl at a time, that way I can tell you about their wonderfulness to full extent.

Now to clarify: This whole girl crush series are about women I admire, whether for their fashion sense, lifestyle, personality, etc. I'll try to pick women who are more or less well-known, or at least have some sort of reference I can link you to. I do not harbor sick perverted tendencies towards these women, whether I get stuck with them in an elevator or not (And even if I did I'd prolly get awestruck and just gawk at them instead).

Kapeesh? Okay!

Our very first lady to be featured in this girl crush series is the effortlessly cool Irina Lazareanu:
