Looking through magazines, the same stick-thin figures, perfectly coifed hairstyles, and made-up faces that appear to require Zambonis to remove are present. Yes, Zambonis. Additionally, I find that many actresses take themselves way too seriously. Then Jennifer Lawrence comes along. The first time I saw her was at the 2011 Oscars in that gorgeous, curve-hugging Calvin Klein dress where she was nominated for her work in Winter’s Bone. She was off my radar until she was cast as Katniss Everdeen in the highly anticipated movie, The Hunger Games. Prior to the movie’s release, I became more and more drawn to what the actress had to say. All it took was watching a few interviews (here's a favorite) before I reached a conclusion: Jennifer Lawrence is not only my new favorite actress, but also a new idol. Besides having an awesome personality, she also looks healthy – a rare sight in Hollywood. She has curves and proudly shows them off, isn’t afraid to be herself, doesn’t take herself seriously (at all), and frequently compares herself to a troll and being as nervous as a Chihuahua. How can anyone not like her? With two more Hunger Games movies in store, I can’t wait to see more of my new favorite actress and idol. I may get so excited that I begin to shake like a nervous Chihuahua.
Oh, and if you haven't read the books and/or seen the movie, I highly recommend that you do!
