YIPPEEE!!: International Women's Friendship Month

September is International Women’s Friendship Month. And while men and women certainly can be friends, it is our female friends who know us the best; they are the ones who we share our most intimate secrets and moments with - things like PMS and sex and childbirth and shoe sales and spanx and hot flashes and the black hair growing out of one of my boobs (oops, TMI)…… Our girlfriends get us. That’s why it’s hard to get together with girlfriends for more than five minutes without some kind of exchange of personal information and laughter.

In celebration of International Women’s Friendship Month we at Estrofests have a three question quiz for you to find out what kind of girlfriend you are, along with a list of our favorite ways to celebrate women’s friendships. (Click on the links and it will take you to the blog that described the game or recipe.)

QUIZ

(1) If you and your girlfriend were having lunch in an expensive restaurant and you noticed that she had lettuce in her teeth, would you… (a) just ignore it and hope to God it’ll slide down her throat soon, (b) reach over and pick it out yourself, or (c) offer her more salad to go with it?

(2) If your girlfriend was in the hospital recovering from surgery, would you… (a) bring a shaker of Martinis, (b) grab a wheelchair, sneak her out and go get some decent food, or (c) change into a matching hospital gown so that the two of you can moon the doctors together?

(3) If your girlfriend asked you to go with her for a 2-for-1 Botox special, would you… (a) ask, “When’s the appointment?” (b) accuse her of entering the two of you in some kind of Joan Rivers look-alike contest, or (c) suggest that another wrinkly friend go with her?
