National Girlfriend Day

It’s time for some real talk, ladies. National Girlfriend Day, which occurs annually on August 1st, is today. Contrary to National Boyfriend Day, this day is about women supporting women rather than boyfriends showing their girlfriends appreciation (which, let’s face it, should happen every day).

Romantic partners will inevitably change. Jobs can be gained or lost. But your girls will be there in a pinch no matter what happens. Honor your “ride or die” squad of homegirls now! Why do we cherish our girlfriends so much, then? Because they resemble sisters but lack the baggage that comes with growing up. Additionally, your girls will listen to you vent when times are tough, and after you’re done, they’ll provide the support you need.

When your girlfriends join the fun, spa days, weekend getaways, and pyjama parties complete with wine and nachos are even more enjoyable. Spend some delicious time chatting up girlfriends on National Girlfriend Day 2021 this year as you discuss relationships that have come and gone. Discuss your aspirations in the circle of sisterhood, a truly safe place.

Although the originator of National Girlfriend Day, which falls on August 1, is unknown, Mistress Susan, who runs an opulent website, appears to have the strongest case. According to her, she came up with the idea for the holiday in 2004 and encouraged friends to celebrate it.

Of course, the history of female friendships and gal pals goes much further back than the actual day. Since girls have been friends for so long, it is impossible to identify the first female friends; instead, we will list some of the more well-known female friends from more recent times.

A group of female friends known as the “Edinburgh Seven” fought to become the first women to enrol in medical school in the UK in the 1860s. Despite attending Edinburgh University to study medicine, they were unable to complete their degrees and practise medicine. The laws allowing women to study medicine at universities were passed in 1876 as a result of their determination to put women’s rights on the national agenda. As a result of the Edinburgh Seven,

At about the same time, a revolutionary friendship between Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton was developing. The two were the pioneers who pushed for white women’s suffrage and founded the women’s rights movement in the United States. After first meeting in 1851, the two went on to found the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869.

On a more sporting note, we would like to give special recognition to The Rockford Peaches, who were among the original players in the 1940s All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Their accomplishments marked a significant advance for American female athletes.

Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe are featured in one of our favourite tales of female friendship, and Fitzgerald credits Monroe with giving her the big break? In 1955, the singer attempted to secure a performance at the Mocambo in Hollywood, but the manager refused her because she lacked sufficient “sex appeal.” If Fitzgerald got the job, Monroe promised the manager she would sit front row every night, bringing in the press and crowds the manager so desperately wanted. Later, Fitzgerald would say. I never had to perform in a small jazz club again after that.

More recently, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova demonstrated that even fierce rivals can become best friends. They competed in an amazing 61 tennis tournament finals.

Gal pals have a history of going against the grain to accomplish great things together and are always there for one another. On National Girlfriend Day in 2021, be sure to take some time to express your gratitude to your girlfriends.

Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet talk about their new series Laid, and some of the horrors of dating as millennials.
Imagine a scenario where anyone and everyone you have ever been intimate with begins to die one by one. Is it a curse? If yes, then who is cursed? These are questions that Stephanie Hsu‘s Ruby battles with in the new zany comedy, Laid. Ahead of the show’s release, Stephanie and co-star Zosia Mamet spoke exclusively with HT about their roles, the show’s unique premise, and the horrors of dating as millennials.

Stephanie Hsu on her character’s flawed morality

Laid, created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, is the story of Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), who discovers that all her sexual partners are dying one by one, and she must warn them. Helping her in this unique quest is her best friend AJ (Zosia). The fun thing about Laid is that the protagonists are not the usual likeable characters. “She is totally an anti-hero of our story. I really love that,” says Stephanie, referring to Ruby’s moral greyness. “I am not a perfect person and I love playing flawed characters. But it was difficult. The creators told me that she is a total narcissist. But narcissists don’t think they are one, so I had to figure out a way to love her. For me, playing Ruby was about getting into her psychology and finding the innocent part of her – which is that she just wants love,” the actor adds.

While sitcoms usually add the best friend as the voice of reason trope, Laid diverges from that, with AJ even zanier and more morally ambiguous than Ruby. Talking about playing such a colourful character, Zosia Mamet says, “When you play not-so-likable or zany characters, people don’t believe they are that way. I don’t think AJ wakes up every morning and thinks, ‘I am absolutely crazy’. It’s about trusting the writing and finding an organic way into these characters to make them seem grounded, real, and relatable.”

Stephanie, Zosia reveal the worst gifts they received from partners

In Laid, Ruby gives the gift of death to the men she is with, even if that is inadvertent. Ask the women about the worst ‘gift’ a partner has ever given them, and the discussions veer into the unusual horrors of modern-day dating. “I got a vintage wooden duck decoy from someone. It was broken, and I thought, ‘What does this say about our relationship?’. They didn’t know me well enough to know if I’d want this but also that they gave me something old and ailing,” Zosia says with a laugh.
