PowerPuff!

*in Tom Kenny aka The Powerpuff Girls Narrator's voice*
Ambition.
Faith.
Style.
Personality.
Talent.

These are the ingredients that embody the perfect women added with an extra ingredient - 
Chemical Fierce!

Lmbo! Sorry, I honestly started typing all that out of the blues and I just couldn't help myself.
I know! I'm hilarious! *holds belly in laughter*
Ok. Not THAT funny but funny still, no?

*clears throat* Alright. Back to business.

This will be my first ever official WCW post. When it comes to admiring the 'female specie', call me very picky. They have to have an 'oomph' that really catches my attention before I can certify them 'crushworthy'. 

In my books, five women reflect these five qualities in such a way that I can't help but love them.
Here they are, in no particular order:

NSE IKPE ETIM - Personality

I fell in love with Nse when I saw her first blockbuster movie titled Reloaded. If you haven't watched it, you should, even if it's just to see how GOOD she portrayed her character. Girl nailed it a thousand times over. For a breakout movie, she was ah-mazing.

But then, putting her talent aside, after watching this interview of her on The Juice, doing a little research and then following her on social media, her personality is what strikes me the most. 

Her accent, her laugh, her smile, her wit, her demeanor. Love it!


And then a few weeks back, she went ahead and had yet another interview with BBC Pidgin that showed a side of her most people have never seen before. There is nothing stronger and more real that being emotionally open and that just made me love her even more.

For my avid readers (I see you) this name looks a bit familiar, doesn't it? I dedicated a whole post to her exquisite fashion style here a couple of years back, and I still wish I could raid her closet. Coupled with that body of hers even after having three children...and she's over 40! Hot damn!


PASTOR KIMBERLY JONES POTHIER - Faith

This woman right here. You know when somebody just hits the nail on the head in a way that makes you feel so encouraged and gives you goosebumps when they talk, even though they are a million miles away? Not sure you can relate but that's what Kim does to me. I can't even remember how I 'stumbled' on her existence, but it's all thanks to Instagram.
She preaches about faith in a way that gets me. Asides from the fact that she has first class experiences in some things that most people go through, she just has a way of delivering the message behind all the pain she harbored in the past. It's overwhelming.
I was lucky enough to hear her preach live earlier this year at the DayStar Women's Conference and it was so worth the cab fare. Lol. Her energy on the pulpit is contagious! 
Plus her sense of style? So bad ass. It's out of the norm for what you usually see on preachers.
          


Imagine my excitement when I posted a picture of Kim on my Instagram story and BAM! This popped up in my DM...


Oh trust me. I didn't just type 'Ahhhhh!!!' I yelled it! I will never delete this DM ever. Call me extra. Whatever.


BEYONCE KNOWLES-CARTER - Ambition
Need I say more? 
I mean, there's no need to overflog this matter naaaa...

And last, but not least *DRUM ROLLSSSSSS* 

MERYL STREEP - Talent

My definition of 'Screen Goddess' and as I like to call her, my On-screen Godmother. I literally love EVERY single movie she's been in that I have seen. It's so 'bad' that even before I watched those movies, once I knew she starred in them, I automatically loved them!
Even when her character is so dang annoying that you feel like ripping her face off the TV screen (yes, I'm talking to you Mary Louise. Fun fact: Mary Louise happens to be one of her real names), you can't help but be intrigued by how effortlessly she brings the character to life. Her talent is pure gold. 

But of all the roles she has played, I can't help but fall in love over and over with Ricki, a character way off from what you'd 'expect' to see her play.
But then, it's Meryl. She can pull off just about any script she gets her hands on.  


I have watched this movie ten times over and still can't get enough of her. Such an epic performance.

Another fun fact: Her daughter, Mamie Gummer also starred in the movie as her (Ricki's) daughter. 
I know, cute right? It kinda depicted the type of strong bond they have in real life. Quite adorable. 
Oh and yeah, Mamie happens to have been born a day before me, on the 3rd of August. Just felt I should slide that in there, seeing as my birthday is around 'za' corner *wink*

Like fine wine, she gets even more talented with age.
