Girl Crush of the Week: Mandy Moore.

The lady was my first ever girl crush. She played a young girl who was falling in love for the first time and who was dying at the very same time. In How to Deal, she played a teen struggling to let a boy in while her best friend was pregnant and her parents were splitting up. She was the Presidents daughter on a mission for freedom in Chasing Liberty and she's gone on to play many, many other roles. Oh, and she's also a singer, actually she was a singer first- then an actress... but it's hard to tell anymore. This weeks Girl Crush is the multi-'talented' Mandy Moore.

Mandy Moore was a huge part of my teen years, while most girls were looking up to Britney or Christina, I admired Mandy. I loved her movies, still to this day I'll pop in Chasing Liberty or How to Deal (in total I have 6 of them). Mandy is boring and I love that about her cause I'm boring too. If I was a celebrity I'd be her, minus the creepy husband. I don't like Ryan Adams, he's too scrubby for her. She should have stayed with Andy Roddick- It's actually because of Andy that I remembered about her today, a co-worker and I were talking about tennis and I mentioned how Andy was my favourite and that I loved when he was dating Mandy (the rhyming names thing was adorable). I had a wall in my room covered with pictures of her, I actually think it worried my parents, I think they thought I was going to be a lesbian or something (don't worry Mom and Dad, I like boys). I coloured my hair dark when she did, I wanted to cut my hair short a la How to Deal and it made me feel normal that she was tall and awkward cause I've always been tallish and somewhat awkward. Even though I'm not big on her music anymore and her movies have kind of sucked, Mandy Moore will always be a wonderful gal to look up to.

Oh man, Brenny is gonna hate this.
