Girly Girl Challenge, Day 6: Who Inspires You?

When I think of a true role model, I think of my mom....But, I didn't want to do that... instead, I thought back to my youth and the first thing that came to mind was watching cartoons and how I loved some of the shows!! In fact the first word I learned in Spanish was Peligro (Danger) and I learned that by watching Sesame Street!! Okay, moving on... so I'm an 80's girl & I actually used to pretend I was She-ra... so I obviously looked up to her/admired her- right??! I still like to kick ass & take names!!!! lol.

...Here are excerpts from thecheers.org

She-Ra: Princess of Power. This girl rocked. She fought evil, tamed wild animals and was He-Man’s twin sister. She was totally cool. Not only could she thwart Hord-Ak’s evil plan, and save Crystal Palace—but she could do so in half a dress and stiletto knee high boots. How cool is that? Girls were now shown that they could kick ass AND look good all at the same time. Everybody wanted to be She-Ra.

What attracted girls to the princess of power was the fact that She-Ra was (when not fighting evil) a sweet semi-timid girl by the name of Adora. Adora in turn was the animated girl next door. Adora symbolized to viewers that there was a princess of power in every girl just dying to break free.
