My Girl Crush

I have a total girl crush on Gwen Stefani and have ever since listening to No Doubt when I was in high school.  My affinity for female pop icons originated with my Cindy Lauper tape in 1984. I had a bright orange wig that was meant for a clown suit at mardi gras...and I had a pink portable jam box that went with me all around the house and as far out in the yard as the cord would reach.  But that wig transformed me into Cindy Lauper in the after school hours.

I've spent over twenty years trying to maintain a steady voice while jumping up and down and dancing all around...and I admire Gwen Stefani for doing it so well! No, her music is not profound, but it does help me pick up my running pace when I'm struggling.

I'm thinking of this girl crush today because it has just grown a little bit. I learned today that Gwen Stefani is coming out with a children's clothing line...and I think that is pretty rad. I mean, seriously, how cute is is her son, Kingston?

Now, if only my sister would let me pick out some clothes for the nieces and nephew....
