I have a thing for independent, beautiful, strong women.
No, I'm not homosexual.
I mean I look up to them.
Women who are beautiful on the inside and out.
Women who inspire me.
Women who are in the entertainment industry yet emerge untainted and stand out from their peers.
Women who still manage to stay grounded despite having all the success in the world.
#1: Mandy Moore is one of them.
I've been following Mandy's career since she first started in 1999 as a skinny, undeveloped teenager, bopping around to the tune of "Candy" on her MTV.
Since then I've watched all her movies and bought all of her albums.
Now she's all grown up (actually she's only a year older than I am).
I love her because...
1. She's an excellent actress (hence my love for the movie "A Walk to Remember");
2. An excellent singer;
3. Gorgeous;
4. Intelligent;
5. Is so, so nice
#2: Hilary Duff
I know it's kindda weird to look up to someone who is younger than you are, but I still love Hilary Duff.
The reason why I look up to her even more is because she is younger than I am and yet has accomplished so much in her life.
I started following her at the beginning of her career when she first filmed the Lizzie McGuire television series. Since then I've also watched all her movies. Her songs are so-so because her voice, I believe, does not have the versatility for a wide range of songs, but I have a favourite few like "Someone's watching over me", "Fly" etc.
Besides acting and singing, she also has her own perfume and clothing line, not to mention, her own doll. I've seen a typical day of her schedule (on a TV special) and it is no fun. It's packed from morning to night - I'm wondering when she has the time to sleep or when she even gets a day off.
#3: Delta Goodrem
I started following Delta when she first started on the Aussie soap drama Neighbours. Since then she has had her ups and downs - ups being her success in the music industry, downs being her battle with cancer (Hodgkin's Lymphoma). Since then she has been visiting children in hospital as well as been helping to raise awareness for others affected by cancer.
She is such a nice person that it's hard to believe such a person still exists. There's not a flaw in her!
She writes her own songs and plays the piano.
She looked her most gorgeous when she sang the opening song for the 2006 Commonwealth Games ("Together we are one"), and that was when she was still recovering.
You know, the only thing that these women have in common - apart from the obvious - that I still puzzle about till this very day is...
Their choice in men.
When I take a look at the men they chose to date = ...
I can only ask...WHY???
