Swoon...

We would be remiss if we did not mention our long time swoon, Gavin Rossdale.
Ok, so we maybe dating ourselves a bit with this one...but come on!





Gavin holds a special place in our hearts, partly because he looks really good without a shirt on, but mostly because once we found out we both shared the same fanatical love for Gavin as pre teens, we knew we would be friends for a long time.

Often we compare our then obsession over the Bush rocker by thinking of the weird things we did to show our love of Gavin....

Carly:
Had a picture of Gavin in a heart frame, which she carried with her to sleepovers

Lauren:
Had a Gavin themed birthday party, complete with cut outs of Gavin's face on Popsicle sticks, for the guests to wear as masks

Carly AND Lauren:
Had a scrap books of Gavin's magazine photos

Is it hard to look back and think how weird and awkward we were?
Yes, yes it is.

Our love for Gavin has been an inside joke between the two of us for a long time. For Carly's 23rd birthday Lauren made her a Gavin Rossdale themed cake - because she is cool like that.

But who could forget that magical moment he sang Glycerine in the rain



We may have grown out of the awkward pre teen obsession, but Gavin will also be a swoon....
