...In which our heroine cleanses the palate.

Feeling sinful or decadent after the holidays? This won't help.

Girl Crushes, Round 2. Because the men in my life have been particularly frustrating in the past week or so.

Mary-Louise Parker: Hottest mom? I think so. I love her as Nancy Botwin, and what I find most attractive about her is her openness to be sexy and protective at the same time.

Rosario Dawson: She's a comic book geek and is super curvy and was Gail in Sin City, enough said.

Liv Tyler: I wish her sister Mia wouldn't have gotten so many tattoos, or else she'd be on the list too. I've loved Liv ever since Stealing Beauty, and think there's a general effortlessness to her.

Jenny Lewis: Solo or with Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis understands my pain. The quote at the top of the blog comes from her. She's a foxy redhead that started her career in Troop Beverly Hills, and did acid when she was 12.

January Jones: I usually don't like blondes (I will never date a blonde male, ever) but January is a doppelganger for Grace Kelly. Even if Betty turned into a megabitch this season, she's just so classically beautiful.

Crystal Renn: I love her just as much for her politics as her beauty. I need to read Hungry soon, as I appreciate Crystal making it easier for curvy girls everywhere. PS - this is actually my favorite photo of her.

Christina Hendricks: I don't know if I've mentioned it, but I kind of like this show called Mad Men, and one of the women on there...she's pretty, I guess. To me, Christina Hendricks has the ideal female body - fantastic boobs, cinched waist, and round, beautiful hips. Oh and that red hair, even if it's fake. 90 pound models are not sexy, Christina Hendricks is sexy. Envy doesn't cover it, more like awe, as Joan or in real life. I love you so, Joan Holloway. You're my favorite girl crush of all.
