Okay, in order for me to do this I have to admit that I've seen the Wendy Willams Show and have heard her use the phrase "friends in my head". So...let's just shake off the shame of that sentence and move on, shall we?
Ahem.
Anyway...when said flamboyant talk show hostess uses the phrase "friends in my head", she's referring to a celebrity who she imagines she would be fast friends with if they only knew each other. A frivolous game, yes, but one I think a lot of us play from time to time, don't we? Okay, maybe just a few of us, but hey, I'll admit to it. Yes, I like to think I have very selective "friends in my head" criteria, and on occasion there are a few celebrity-types who pique my interest enough to begin daydreaming about us bonding at Sephora and having heavy discussions over coffee and mocking men wearing white socks and watching The Daily Show together. Absolutely, there are a few people out there who I crush on enough to imagine us being besties (ew I hate that word). Here are some of those in no particular order:
Kate Walsh
endearing characteristics: naturally funny with a tiny twist of snark, admitted & unabashed Cat Lady, could introduce me to her colorist and maybe Taye Diggs
Tim Gunn
endearing characteristics: GET IN MY POCKET YOU DARLING MAN, super encouraging, would never let me leave the house in something ugly, could get my husband into more a good jacket
Bethenny Frankel
endearing characteristics: sarcasm up the wazoo, loves dogs, not a fan of BENSIMON!, could teach me some recipes, FREE SKINNYGIRL MARGARITAS
Steve Martin
endearing characteristics: "ALL I NEED IS THIS CHAIR...", seriously intelligent & prolific, so cute, would not go to Sephora with me but would probably put on plays in the backyard or give me pointers on comedic timing or something
Lauren Graham
endearing characteristics: quick wit, running buddy, UM...LORELAI GILMORE ENOUGH SAID
Drew Barrymore
endearing characteristics: peace & love sweetheart, would fill my boho easy-breezy friend void, loves Beck, seems like a girl who would dig into a massive plate of nachos with me while watching black & white movies
So...who are some of your "friends in your head"?
