Girl Crush of the Day: Chrissie Hynde

Posted by Emily Farris


(Are we allowed to do that? Well, we're doing it anyway.)

And no, it's not because she's wearing a PETA shirt; everybody knows we refuse to sleep with vegetarians.*


Being an aging female rocker can't be easy [blegh, sic], but Chrissie Hynde is pulling it off. "I'm just trudging along, you know. I wash every day, I've got my own teeth, and I don't dye my hair. I must be doing something right, as I've only canceled two shows in 30 years: once when the doctor said I would have a miscarriage, and once when he told me my eardrums would explode if I did the gig," the Pretenders star, 56, tells Britain's Guardian.


Chrissie, we want to be just like you when we grow up.

*Before you get your panties in an uproar, you should know we absolutely support the ethical treatment of animals, it makes them tastier. Also we spent a year as a vegetarian, so bring it!

Oh i'm gonna bring it, girl. No tasty animals for you.

P.S. Watch out cats are addictive, if you have just one now, you wont soon enough.

Missy.

Love, Peace, Hugs, and Kisses from The Groovy Vegetarian. Thanxs for linky love.

I have to chime in with dutiful reverence.

Chrissie always has been, always will be the definitive embodiment of what an intelligent, creative, hard working, articulate human being should be. Throw in equal parts compassion and grit and the result is one phenomenal person. When I was a kid in Detroit I loved her because she was the anti-Madonna in a badly permed, peroxide Material Girl world. Now that I'm grown up I love her even more because now, more than ever, she's the anti-Madonna.

Cripes, she even makes rusty sheep shears sexy. (You can take the girl out of the Midwest, but you can't take the farm implements out of the girl.)

I've crushed on her ever since the Brass in Pocket video.  (Yes, I'm so old, I remember when MTV played music videos.)
