Girl Crush: Jennifer Aniston

[There are some women out there that we just can't get out of our minds. No, we aren't switching teams - yet - but we do have some serious crushes on some pretty fierce females. These ladies are all special in their own right and we aren't ashamed to tell the world we love them.]

I’m not afraid to admit I’ve always had a crush on Jennifer Aniston. I can remember back in the day when Friends still ruled TV, I watched an interview with Jen and gal pal Courteney Cox Arquette and immediately found myself crushing. Over the years, my crush has lasted, long after the show ended.

I’m still not over that.

Aniston’s a Style Icon and always look good (even practically naked!). And, hello, she’s freaking 40. Even though she may not be the most adventurous when it comes to fashion, she dresses well for her body, and always looks classy. Plus, this girl knows how to rock a suit!

As well as being super gorgeous, she’s also really down to earth, funny, and has a contagious laugh. If you’ve ever seen her interviewed, it’s hard not to love the girl.

We all know Jennifer for her role as Rachel on Friends, and for “The Rachel,” the popular hairstyle of the 90s, but that was only the start to her uber successful career. The woman is seriously versatile. She’s played a loveable wife and mom in Marley & Me, an angry woman in The Break-Up, and got pretty serious for her role in Derailed. And let’s not forget her most recent role in the movie to avoid this Valentine’s Day — He’s Just Not That Into You.

Of course, we’re all just a little jealous of Jennifer Aniston. She was serenaded with a song written just for her on her birthday by beau (a Guy We Want to Eff), John Mayer. In fact, she’s dated or been linked to many of our favorites: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, and, oh yeah, Brad Pitt (before Brangelina and their fleet of children).

And despite Jen’s not-so-luck in love, I still love her. In fact, I think I love her more. Who hasn’t fallen for the wrong guy, the bad guy, the guy you thought you could change? Jen’s history with the boys has made her more real and relate-able, and my girl crush is only growing. I’m rooting for her and John Mayer (yes, I love her enough to let her have him), but will be around if she ever needs a shoulder to cry on.

I’m not only on Team Jen; I’m totally crushing on her.
