Love this coming-of-age movie that vignettes around being the only girl in a family of boys during a summer in Brooklyn in the 70s.

Probably need to eat a few of these to make my booty be able to pop like the ladies in this video. Capacookie is one tough one for sure!

High ResolutionGot A Girl Crush On: These Pizza-Loving “Suffragettes”
We have far too much love for this photo/caption to ruin it with a little fact-checking. Thank you, brave women, for paving the way for what is (quite literally) every weekend of our lives.
“In 1921, early suffragettes often donned a bathing suit and ate pizza in large groups to annoy men…it was a custom at the time”

Got A Girl Crush On: New York City’s Miss Subways
Apart from having one of the coolest museum experiences in town*, the New York Transit Museum acts as a fantastic historical troubadour of this awesome city — told through its public transportation system. The Meet Miss Subways is one of my favorite anecdotes in New York’s underground history.In an exhibition currently showing at the museum, Photographer Fiona Gardner and journalist Amy Zimmer track down and catch up with the former beauty pageant contestants, turning out a lovely portrait series.

*In full disclosure, I did an internship in the New York Transit Museum’s Archives and am probably a tad bit partial regarding the awesomeness of the NYTM. -
Got A Girl Crush On: Bandit Brand’s vintage shirts for the Old Lady in all of us.
This line just speaks to my biker’s old lady / 70’s groupie within. After seeing these, I can’t not just throw out my entire wardrobe and deplete my bank account for every single one these shirts. If I haven’t scratched enough heads as the young, often hungover, rare book librarian before — I surely will now. Don’t bro if you don’t know me.

Got A Girl Crush On: The Original Riot Grrrl, Shirley Temple
Was Shirley Temple the original riot grrrl? I loved this outfit, which Shirley wore in The Little Princess. When I was in Grad School, I pretty much tried to dress like this. Get the look at ModCloth with these cute picks:
1. Rock Shop Dress, 2. Follow the Cedar Boot, 3. Season Change is Good Scarf

Got A Girl Crush On: Gordon Park’s photos of Helen Frankenthaler in her New York Studio
More like Helen Babenthaler. How did I manage to receive an Art History degree without realizing how adorable this woman was?

Got A Girl Crush On: Tina Belcher’s Music Video with St. Vincent
The weird-ass Tina Belcher has been on my GAGC to-blog list for sometime. Taking the awkward pubescent girl trope wildly further than most people are comfortable, she won me over with her butt-fascination-driven, Erotic Friend Fiction: Buttloose.
As if it could Tina and Bob’s Burgers could possibly get better in my eyes, I see this amazing Bob’s Buskers cover with St. Vincent.This one goes in the ol’ Butt Bank.
