| Fab Gal Top 10: Power Teens |
Happy Weekend FGs!
So we talked about how teens are basically taking over the world (okay, maybe not). And here are my top 10 of the teens that are using their powers for good...
1. Miley Cyrus - Of course, of course. She is the queen of the power teens. This girl has done it all, and she seems to have fun doing it! The best of both worlds.
2. Raven - I remember hearing a story how Raven mapped out her career on a place mat when she was 15, and slowly but surely she has been checking those things off. I don't know how true that is, but she has definitely been successful!
3. Jonas Brothers - The only boys on the list. Think how far they've come, even in just the last year. They went from playing little shows to having the #1 album on iTunes. Pretty sweet for a group of brothers!
4. Amanda Bynes - She's awesome, isn't she? She went from "The Amanda Show" at 13 to having her own affordable-but-cute fashion line today. The girl is all that!
5. Aly & AJ - Another family group. What I love about them is that they have stayed true to themselves, and they are genuinely talented - they both play instruments, sing, and write music! Talk about good genes.
6. Hayden Panetierre - From a FG poll a while back, Hayden is one of your favorites! And for good reason - this teen knows how to use her fame for good, bringing awareness to animal rights and other great causes.
7. Taylor Swift - This girl has a lot of power in the country world! She was one of the youngest to ever win the CMA Horizon Awards, along with so many others. And she still has time to update her Myspace...
8. Jordin Sparks - She went from being just a regular 17 year-old to winning American Idol and making music with Chris Brown. If that's not teen power, I don't know what is!
9. Emma Roberts - Sure, she's got a famous aunt, but she's also got amazing talent and serious business smarts. She is careful about the roles she chooses, and she stays away from the celeb party scene. Emma is in it for the long run, just like Julia!
10. Demi Lovato - She hasn't hit the top yet, but you can bet she will soon! Starring in a Disney movie, touring with the Jonas Brothers, recording an album... and that's just 2008! Keep your eyes on Demi in 2009, for sure.
Those are my top 10 Power Teens, but who are yours? Let me know here by comment, and you can always share your thoughts about all things FG at The Fab Gal Myspace.

| The Fab Gal Top 10 |
Hey Fab Gals!
So I want to tell you a little about my top 10. And we're not talking Myspace here. These are my top 10 Fab Gals - in no particular order.
1. Amanda Bynes - So I can't say I've ever met the real Amanda, but I love that in her movies she always represents a real girl - the one who's a little different, a little offbeat, but always 100% comfortable with who she is. A completely free spirit.
2. Atoosa - She's just plain cool! If you don't know who she is, she is the former editor of Seventeen and founded CosmoGIRL! magazine, two of my faves. What's even cooler though is that she left all that behind to work with her fellow Alpha Kitties. No clue what I'm talking about? Check out Atoosa's Myspace to learn a little more about it, then check out the Alpha Kitty YouTube show.
3. Hilary Duff - She's really come into her own. Even though everyone had a specific, cutesy image of her, she changed and redefined herself (in a good way). She's always classy, never trashy.
4. Dolly Parton - What a woman! There's a lot more to her than people expect. She's just as much smart and hardworking as she is blonde. Did you know she's published over 600 songs, including Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You"? Well believe it. Best of all, she's unaffected by what people say about her.
5. Jessica Weiner - The Queen Actionist herself! She has had a very unconventional career path, which led her to writing several books, including Do I Look Fat in This?, writing for Seventeen, and working with girls through her website, With Jess. You have got to check this girl out!
6. Taylor Swift - She is just so genuine. She's completely open and honest about who she is (you would have to be to sing about all your exes!). She's talented, beautiful, and happily living her dream, and still makes time to keep up with her fans through her Myspace.
7. Ellen Degeneres - Aside from being hilarious, she makes no apologies for who she is, because she knows you never should. Plus she dances. Every day. On national TV. Make sure you check out the Ellen Degeneres Show, it's 100% feel-good.
8. Miley Cyrus - So you already know this, but this girl amazes me. For being so young, she is so classy and down to earth. She works hard for her success, but she also has so much fun with it. Sure, she makes mistakes, but that just makes her more real.
9. Hayden Panettiere - Wow, this girl is gutsy! Once I heard about how she risked her safety for the dolphins, I had so much respect for her. She has a big heart and she takes action (and always looks fab doing it!).
10. Marilyn Monroe - This might seem like a controversial one. What I love about her though is that she's beautiful, but it's a real beauty, not a stick-skinny phoney-baloney beauty. And when you hear the things she said, she was actually really insightful about life. Classy, glamorous, talented, and smart.
So Fab Gals, that's my Top 10. But who's on yours? What makes the people that you admire so Fab?
Let me know, and as always, you can e-mail any questions/suggestions/whatever to me at fabgalsite@gmail.com
