Girl Crush Of The Month: Hayley Williams

First and foremost, I would like to start off by apologizing to the people who have been reading my blog for not being very consistent with my posts :( I've been working a lot, completing course work and just been distracted. I promise to begin posting more regularly, okay? .. Okay! ;)

I will  that Hayley Williams is a person I have admired since the age of 12 or 13 when she and her band Paramore first released their debut album "All We Know Is Falling" in July of 2005.     

Now today I still admire her, for her talent, funky songs and sounds and her epic hair and fashion! I definitely have a majorly big case of girl crush for Hayley!

She was born in on December 27th of 1988 in Meridian, Mississippi. In 2002, age 13, Williams moved from her hometown Meridian, Mississippi, to Franklin, Tennessee, where she met fellow band members Josh and Zac Farro in school. Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning. Paramore continues to endorse Brett Manning today. 

While still in school, she tried out for a local funk cover band called The Factory, where she met bassist Jeremy Davis. Williams introduced the boys together, and Paramore began. In 2005, John Janick, founder of record label Fueled by Ramen, signed a contract with them.






In the 2007, Kerrang! Readers' Poll she finished second to Evanescence's Amy Lee in the "Sexiest Female" category, going on to win the first place spot for "Sexiest Female" a year later in the 2008 poll. She also appears as a playable character in the video game Guitar Hero World Tour. 

Hayley Williams and Chad Gilbert

In the September 2009 issue of Alternative Press, Williams and Paramore guitarist Josh Farro confirmed they had been dating for nearly three years before splitting in the fall of 2007. "We didn't know if it would look bad," says Williams. "We were so young, and it seemed like it would look like a big joke," Their relationship was later confirmed again by Josh Farro in his "Exit Statement."

Williams is now openly dating New Found Glory guitarist, and former Shai Hulud singer, the incredibly hunky Chad Gilbert. 

Her style can be described as very unique, most definitely one of a kind. She won the Premio Fashionista award in 2009 from Latin America's MTV Awards, NME's Award for Sexiest female in 2009, Kerrang! Sexiest female in both 2008 and 2009 as well as Spin Magazines reader's poll for Sex Goddess of the year, also in 2009. 

Hayley Williams in collaberation with Mac Cosmetics

Last Year she also releaseda 4- piece collection with Mac Cosmetics which featured shockingly vibrant oranges. She stated "I didn't wear make up at all. Photographers would beg me to put on chapstick and I'd say no. I went to a store and picked up an orange eyeshadow by MAC, and that was the beginning of the end" .
