Little girl I wanna marry you
I have developed the most ENORMOUS girlcrush on Minka Kelly of Friday Night Lights. I don't even know where it came from, but I am SO FOND!!! For starters, she is easily one of the most effortlessly beautiful people I have ever seen in my life. Her smile always makes me want to smile back. Beyond that, she has achieved the most gorgeous character growth with Lyla, taking her from perky little girl to endearing, independent woman whom I love with all my heart. And knowing all that is making my S1 rewatching experience that much richer - I just ended the episode "It's Different For Girls" completely bawling. LYLAAAA!
I have been finding out so many darling things about Minka herself though. Did you know her dad was a guitarist for Aerosmith? Steven Tyler babysat her! Heeeee. She likes guys who can change their oil because she can. She has an adorable puppy named CHEWBACCA. Before she was an actress, she was a surgeon's assistant, and in the interview I'm about to link speaks very eloquently and passionately about how transformative that experience was. She just seems like a person with so much heart and soul, so genuine and modest and sweet and lovely. I oddly see something of myself in her - something about her self-effacing manner, and how she gets when she's talking about something she loves, using her hands a lot and trying to articulate as best as she can. Basically, I adore her, and this interview is the most precious thing ever:
Don't you want to squish her to your chest?? She's so sweet!! She tells Bonnie Hunt she's a fan of MONSTER'S INC! And at the end when Bonnie compliments her, her startled little face and flaily "thank you"! AWWW, MINKA. Be more adorable, I dare you. And that dress is SO cute. Also I COVET her hair.
I just... adore her, a lot a lot. I binged on galleries of photos of her last night. I'm just mesmerized! She's always wearing the most adorable clothes toooo. I want her to be my best friend ♥ Have a few of my favorites!
Ugh, MINKA. I am so so so so fond. I just had to share :D
