Girlcrushes through the years, part II

Now the girls get cute for real. It's serious, lesbos.

College:
Kelly Clarkson
As I may have already said, Kelly Clarkson made me supergay. When I fell for her, I pretty much stopped noticing guys altogether. (Thanks, Kelly!)

Tina Fey
The Tina Fey thing happened soon after the Kelly thing, freshman year, since I was the loser staying in on Saturday nights while everyone went out and got drunk in the boys’ dorms on Busch Light—or went to the scary clubs off Admiral. Anyway, Tina Fey is hot and smart, and she wears the nerd glasses. Gaaaaay. (As in me—I was so gay for her. Unfortunately, she’s not gay at all.)

Keira Knightley
The summer before sophomore year, I got hit with double the Keira—in Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates, and she was superhot in both. I’ve since become somewhat disenchanted, but if she’d eat something, I’d probably fall in love again.

Famke Janssen
Oh my god, Famke Janssen is so hot in the X-Men movies. She is undoubtedly the reason I own all three of them.

Jennifer Beals
Oh my god, when I first saw The L Word, I was mesmerized by Jennifer Beals. She’s the best (and hottest) fake lesbian ever.

Maggie Gyllenhaal
Her movies are usually for crap, but I liked Mona Lisa Smile a lot. And she’s pretty.

Jennifer Garner
I never watched Alias, but she’s so, so pretty—and her dimples were on full display in 13 Going on 30, which is probably why I fell for her.

Rachel McAdams
She was totally awesome in Mean Girls, obviously, but it wasn't until I saw Red Eye and Wedding Crashers that I started to have a crush on her.

Post-College-ish:

Lena Headey

This one was serious, the summer after I graduated (I think). Naturally, I first saw her in a lesbian movie, and then I watched everything of hers I could get my hands on. (She’s played gay-ish in two other films!) However, the crush has waned, as I couldn’t even watch more than fifteen minutes of The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Brandi Carlile
Some time last year, I became totally and utterly and ridiculously obsessed, because this girl is the prettiest girl ever, and she’s the only effing lesbian on this list. The obsession has cooled a bit—I think only because it’s been so long since I’ve seen her live.

Zooey Deschanel
I vaguely recall finding her cute in Almost Famous, but it was her small role in Bridge to Terabithia that got the tiny crush going.

Sara Ramirez
None of the ladies of Grey’s Anatomy is unattractive in the least, but Sara Ramirez is so goddamn hot. If only Grey’s wasn’t so retarded these days.

Rose Rollins
I only realized that Rose Rollins was so smokin’ hot in the latter half of this season of The L Word—just in time for her relationship with Alice to totally fall apart!—but goodness. She’s beautiful.

Keri Russell
I only rarely watched Felicity, and I never even really liked Felicity herself, but I just recently saw two movies with Keri Russell: The Waitress and August Rush, and oh, she is so pretty.

This is totally not a comprehensive list, but I did what I could. And I'm sure tomorrow I'll have five new girls I'm drooling over.

The best part of this (not so) comprehensive list was that you felt obligated to spell out "Thirteen going on Thirty" as opposed to the far less nerdy "13 Going on 30."

And then you put Kelly Clarkson and that chick from the L Word (the one who plays Tasha) on there and ruined it for me.

Oh, god, that was such a nerd reflex since the title of the movie actually just has the numbers in it. I have now changed it for accuracy.
