Girl Crush

In a follow up to my previous post I was surprised to see that the topic was explored in the Sunday Times Style magazine. In reference to pictures of Maggie Gyllenhaal in Agent Provocateur underwear the journalist writes, "These pictures acknowledge the fact that girls fancy girls. Oh, ladies - but we do don't we? We don't talk about it much - even to our closest friends. But most of us, and I speak here of girls who generally like boys more, have, at some point, harboured a crush on another woman." She goes on to point out that, "Girl-fancying has zero to do with hot lezzer lust you see splashed on the cover of nuts. That's just crude male titillation (what a great word - note to self: use this more in general conversation whatever it may mean!)
Apparently, "The girls we'd go gay for aren't the idealised versions of womanhood that men get off on - they are super-improved versions of ourselves. . .Angelina Jolie (my old school friend listen up!) is a top girl crush because she's powerful, in charge of herself and a wildcat!!"
The journalist finishes with the critical crunch question, "Would we go there? . . . if (your crush) turned up on your doorstep promising to take you places you'd never been before - yes or no?" Places I've never been before?! - it sounds exhilerating! I think my answer would be a resounding yes please!

Thought of the day: "Better to aim for the top and miss than aim for mediocracy and hit"
