Friday FUN Day!

Portlandia, a new sketch comedy show on IFC starring Fred Armisten and Carrie Brownstein is beyond funny. We love the 90s and we love Portland (who doesn't?) but sometimes we just have to laugh at the clichè indie culture we all fall into now and then!

GIRL CRUSH

We've got a girl crush on the makers of this blog GOT A GIRL CRUSH. Don't know what a girl crush is? Here is it straight from the horse's mouth:

"Ever find yourself with an overwhelming sense of admiration for another girl? Where you want to be her AND be friends with her? And it teeters on the line of jealousy/envy? Sounds like you've got a girl crush."

GOT A GIRL CRUSH is dedicated to featuring women with impeccable style and wit. Ladies featured range from Gwen Stefani to indie goddess Miranda July to an unknown awesome lady holding her own again the boys playing bike polo.
