Inspired by: Gwen Stefani. Let's just say that Gwen Stefani is most definitely the love of my life. I have had a special place in my heart since I can remember, when my uncle and aunt were playing No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom album in the kitchen while we sang along at the top of our lungs. I've seen her band, No Doubt, live with said aunt and uncle and I own some of the items from her various clothing lines. Her poster hangs above my bed and I own all of her CD's. I'm smitten, to say the least.

 

She's such an inspiration to me because with her ska/punk/pop/90's grunge mixture of sound, how could you not fall in love? She's crazy! She's flawed. She's sexy, but a tom-boy. She does pushups on stage and wears some of the most ridiculous outfits ever. But that's her appeal. She knows who she is and she won't compromise. She's bleached her naturally dark brown hair for her entire adult life and she's known for her luscious red lips. I adore everything about her!

 

 She dated No Doubt's bassist, Tony Kanal, and in some of No Doubt's songs she admits she wished for an accident so they could have a child together. She married Bush lead-singer Gavin Rossdale while wearing a soft pink dress, and they later  had two beautiful boys with him despite the fact that he never told her about the daughter he had with a previous woman.

 

She has fashion lines, perfumes, No Doubt, her own CD's, two children, a sexy husband, and an amazing sense of self-love and love for others. She forgives when she's wronged, and can stay friends with the man whom she wanted a life with, even though he never wanted to give it to her. Of course she's the love of my life and my inspiration.
