Tomorrow is National Girlfriends Day which rolls around every year on August 1. It’s about women supporting women! Romantic partners will come and go. Jobs are won and lost. But no matter what happens, your girls will be there in a crunch. It’s a time to honor homegirls! They’re like sisters but without the growing-up baggage. When times are tough, your girls will let you vent and when you’re done; they will offer up the support you need to get through. A great story of female friendship involves Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe. Fitzgerald attributes her big break to Monroe? The singer
Ells tried to book a gig at the Mocambo in Hollywood in 1955 but the manager turned her away because she didn’t have enough “sex appeal.” Monroe called the manager and said that she would sit in the front row every night if Fitzgerald got the job, which would pull in the press and crowds that the manager craved. Fitzgerald would say later. “After that I never had to play a small jazz club again.”
Here's a picture of some of my "besties" taken a few nights ago during card making class.
Let's all take a moment tomorrow and let our girlfriends know how much we care about them and if we can get together with them it would be even better. Grab lunch, go to a movie or just have a catching up visit. I'd love to hear some of your favorite girlfriend stories!
Of course I did! Had to get in a pic of you being bratty!
