Top 5 Actresses That Are Kicking Hollywood's Butt
Katherine Preston

In honor of the gorgeous and talented Jennifer Aniston's Huffington Post article "For the Record," I thought I would mention the top five actresses that, to me, are giving Hollywood and it's stereotypical mold of how they portray actresses' a run for their money. These are also some of my favorite actresses because of their risk-taking abilities and degrees in bad-assery.

So, without further ado, here are my top five actresses that are changing the game of how we see women in Hollywood.

1. Lisa Bonet

She is my top favorite actress of all time. Her sense of style goes against the normal type of Hollywood clothing. She has always been the one to dress how she wanted to dress, even if the clothing was outdated as well. She has always been one to take risks, whether with the roles she accepts or the lifestyle she lives. Not to mention her husband, Jason Mamoa, is drop dead gorgeous! So kudos to you Mrs. Bonet!

2. Melissa McCarthy

Let's face it, Melissa McCarthy is a talented and hilarious actress. Her new movie "Ghostbusters" is an example of where her true talent just shines as bright as the sun. Not only is she a remarkable actress, but she is incredibly gorgeous actress. Even though she never fit the skinny type of actresses in Hollywood, she never let that stop her from reaching her goals and being a role model to women of all sizes everywhere. Even before her recent weight loss, I've always believed that she was just as bright as her talent! My hat's off to you Mrs. McCarthy!

3. Jennifer Aniston

As mentioned earlier, you all should really read her article to the Huffington Post entitled "For the Record." This post in itself is why she is one of my all time favorite actress. Her post is a jab to the critics who always have something to say about her weight as well as a jab to the body-shamers everywhere. She implies that its time for people to stop judging a person by whether they are pregnant or not. That, how she has stayed true to her self and how she still remains stunning to this day is why she deserves my recognition. You go girl!

Here is a link to her article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/for-the-record...

4. Tina Fey

Oh, Ms. Fey! She is the main influence for my decision to pursue screen writing. Her sense of humor as well as her motivation to test the limits is everything! If you ever get the chance to read her book "Bossypants," I say DO IT! Not only does she talk about her trials of being one of the few female writers at NBC, she also talks about some of her greatest moments in life. Honestly guys, after reading this, you will gain a whole new level of respect for her as I did.

5. Brie Larson

I will admit, I had never heard of Brie Larson until I watched Saturday Night Live, where she was a guest host. I then realized that she played the main character Joy in the movie adaptation of "Room" by Emma Donahue. I would highly recommend that you watch this film. She won an Emmy for it and honestly, she deserved it. Not only does she get my applause for being talented and gorgeous, she also highlights and does a lot of work raising awareness for equality and political as well as social justice in the community. If you don't believe me, go on her Instagram. Keep doing your thing Ms. Larson! You rock!


So there you have it. I hope you agree with my decisions and comment below who you think is kicking butt in Hollywood.

Christmas tree

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
