I love women. Love them. Some of my most inspirational moments come after gathering with brilliant, motivated and hysterical fucking women. In honor of International Women’s Day, I thought I’d give you a peek at some of the women currently taking up residence in my soul.
Gilda Radner, the character. Lucille Ball, the business woman. Leslie Mann, the beauty. Patty Griffin, the storyteller. Lana Wachowski, the dreamer. Rebel Wilson, the comedian.
Who inspires you right now?
Wicked list. Gilda is also one of my most favourite. I agree and will add Maeve Binchy my writing hero, Debra Winger and currently Meredith Soleau for taking on the Couric!!
Love Maeve!
How am I not on your list?!? Gosh!!!
You! Of course!!!!! Funny, smart, gorgeous, potty mouthed, and a Potter fan to boot! LOVE!
Thank you!
Great picks Brittany. ..and I would add you to that list! I truly mean that! ♥
Thank you so much, Wendy.
You – for this sisterhood you have created
Elizabeth Banks – for her total commitment and lack of fear
Jennifer Lawrence – because there is truly nothing to dislike about that girl (I mean…did you SEE the Jack Nicholson banter?!?)
Dude! You’re on my list!
**Hilary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Sarah McLachlan, Anna Kendrick**
Ummmm??? YOU! And my girlfriends (who actually know I exist) are pretty fucking awesome/inspiring too…
Love your picks!
My current list of goddess’s looks something like this-
Gwen Stefani
Lena Dunham
Winona Ryder
Christina Hendricks
Rebel Wilson
Tina Fey
I have to add Rachel Maddow to the list. She’s definitely my current girl crush.
you!
You, Rachel Maddow, my mom, my daughters, Patty Griffin, Meryl Streep, Anne Lamott, Christine Roth — women who are full and whole and present and hopeful. Women who inspire and empower and invigorate women!
Love ’em all!
Ladies, remember, everything Fred Astaire did, Ginger Rodgers did in heels *and* backwards.
Chicks rule!
Omission of female role models: Meryl Streep and THE Brittany Gibbons/Rosalie….my inspiration, source of info, and fucking all around Rockstar!
Brittany Gibbons (duh), Jennifer Lawrence, Melissa McCarthy, and I still dig Hilary Clinton. :)
