We have some pretty hard girl crushes. These are the types of ladies that stamp their style on the world. They are the type of people that will always be remembered and little girls grow up wanting to be. They are women of substance. Women that make the world a better place.

Happy Girl Crush Tuesday everybody.

Today’s girl crush is on the fantastically, brilliant and ever opinionated Ita Buttrose.

The golden girl of Australian media, she is fierce, strong and incredibly beautiful. She is a powerful businesswoman with a mind for success who isn’t afraid to push boundaries.

Ita embodies the Australian spirit and is a champion for many charities and causes. She is passionately involved with Alzheimer’s Australia and Arthritis Australia. She is also involved with World Vision. She uses her national profile to raise awareness of breast cancer, HIV/AIDS and prostate cancer.

Ita is always immaculately presented and speaks with poise about many issues. She is a voice to the people and a voice of reason.

She is by far one of the best idols little ladies could aspire to be.

Thank you Ita for being an amazing inspiration to many Australians.
