Friday's posts are dedicated to strong women.  Who better to talk about than Melissa McCarthy?  The buzz surrounding her is fierce-- apparently there will be a Gilmore Girls reboot.  I never watched that show but my little sister did and apparently it is as good as Friday Night Lights.  Doubtful.  #timriggins 

You may have seen her in Bridesmaids, Mike & Molly, Tammy, This Is 40 or Saturday Night Live.  Melissa has been nominated and awarded a Primetime Emmy, received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress AND she has a college degree.  Yep.  She is educated.

MM is a hometown hero.  Born and raised in a suburb outside of Chicago, this chic is Midwestern through and through.  I think what is most intriguing about Melissa McCarthy is her comedic style.  She has this awesome ability to not crack character.  Laugh out loud, physical humor and side splitting type stuff.....  all things awesome.

And let's not forget that this chic is real.  She makes no apologies for being a size larger than a 0.  Melissa is a wife and a mother above all and works very hard to set a good example for her children.  (I'm talking like I know this chic personally)

“I could eat healthier, I could drink less. I should be learning another language and working out more, but I’m just always saying, ‘Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'”

She would much rather enjoy the present moment than to worry about future consequences, and we can’t blame her for that! As long as she remains as radiant and glowing as she is now, nothing can get her down. - Rolling Stone Magazine.

Rock on Melissa, ROCK ON.
