U.K. Babes

When I was 12, I was in junior high talking to some friends about going to London as a vacation when we got older and we talked about going to see Big Ben, Parliament, go on the buses, check out the train stations, and even see their famous Ferris wheel but one thing that was never mentioned was how gorgeous the women were.

I was 19 when I started noticing how beautiful the women were that were from the U.K. (Damn, now that I think about it, 19 was a year of exploration for me) and holy smokes, I've always had an appreciation for women from the U.K. because there's always something about them that's fascinated me and I still don't know what it is to this day.

I think it's the culture they have that's always fascinated me or the way they carry themselves compared to American women, I really don't know. What pointed me in the direction of noticing women from the U.K. was actually my mom, she finally let me watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, I didn't know that a majority of the people in the movies were from the U.K. and of course, I was crushing on Emma Watson (Harry Potter series, The Perks of Being a Wallflower).

So after Emma Watson, I watched the Underworld movies and I found Kate Beckinsale (Total Recall, Van Helsing) ridiculously beautiful like it was almost hard for me to not look at her especially now. Then, when I would hear her talk, it'd be like she's a siren luring me in with her voice to drown me with her gorgeous if I don't have my eyes on her. Almost like I can't have one without the other.

Then, I watched Pirates of the Caribbean a lot as a teenager and I was practically in love with Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game, Never Let Me Go). I love how she talks, the way she carries herself when I watched her interviews, I even love seeing her in movies because I love seeing her act and I still do.

I barely watched BBC as a teenager but it wasn't until I was 20 when I was watching series from the network more and I was noticing how beautiful the women were. My mom really loved the movie, Attack the Block and damn, she played the movie out so much but one woman stuck out to me in the movie and it was Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who, Broadchurch). I always thought she was beautiful, there's almost this vulnerability to her that kind of makes me want to protect her but at the same time, it's her strength.

When my friend finally got me to watch Sherlock, I remember when I first laid eyes on Louise Brealey who plays Molly Hooper in the show, the same would apply for Jodie Whittaker. It's the vulnerability that makes them and it makes me want to protect them as well. I know that they're both actresses but I'm going with what I'm seeing.

I've never seen Doctor Who or Oculus but I've always known who Karen Gillan is and when I see her, I can't help but shout, "I NEED KAREN IN MY LIFE" and not because of how beautiful and adorable she is but because of how I can see myself having a bad day and we can just enjoy each other's company by goofing off and talking about random stuff.

When Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens came out and I saw Daisy Ridley, I was instantly hooked on her. I love her accent and the kind of person she is. I love watching the interviews she does because other than seeing how beautiful she is, she's awkward and I am as well. It always has me thinking about meeting her and I'd be good friends with her but if we were to date, it'd be awesome!

Now, I know that all of these ideas of these women are in my head and I know that some of them or none of them will happen but even if I meet at least one of them, I think I'll be fine because they might not all be the same but I'll know what to do. London and Scotland, here I come!
