Words cannot express how obsessed I am with Sophia Amoruso.
Sophia is the founder and CEO of NastyGal.com, which has been named the Fastest Growing Retailer by INC Magazine (2012), and is basically one of those GET ON MY BODY e-commerce retailers. I've been a huge fan for years and am constantly thinking, I want to be a Nasty Gal. I want to dress like this 24/7. I want all of this shit, just take my damn money already. And Sophia is the brains of all of that, so basically, she owns my soul right now.
First off, dis bitch just turned 30, she never went to college, and she owns this hugely successful company - not to mention, she is now a New York Times Bestselling Author with her debut #GIRLBOSS book (yes, the hashtag is part of the title). #GIRLBOSS is half business bible and half autobiography, all about how Sophia beasted her way to the top of her game. She starts off by saying how the first thing she ever sold online was stolen - and goes on to explain how rummaging through dumpsters and second-hand stores became a hugely successful ebay store, and then eventually Nasty Gal as we know it. It's some pretty punk shit. She is the epitome of "Fuck The Man" - she did things her own way and still came out on top, despite everything being against her.
And to me, that is the ultimate definition of an Evil Queen - she took matters into her own hands, and did her own thing even though people told her no. She used natural creativity and instinct to guide her, and got what she wanted by taking life by the balls. If that aint some boss shit, I don't know what is.
Oh, and check out her closet on The Coveteur too. Bitch got swag, for real.
A #GIRLBOSS is in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it.

And yeah, I'm totally in love with her. Like a crazy, follow her around like a lovesick puppydog kind of way. I want to be her and be with her. I want to follow her around and just like, carry her Starbucks or something. I'd give my left arm to work for her. I'd move to fucking Los Angeles to work for her.
But I guess for now I'll just have to give her all my money. That's love, right?
