We Are Hot Chicks Wednesday: Buddy System, the Sequel

Nearly 12 months ago to the day, we delivered our first WAHCW buddy system post. In that post, there were many pointers associated with the mantra that having good friends and good people around you can get you through most anything in this affair called life. It's an understatement to say that times have changed, even in a year, and they haven't gotten any easier. Continued wars, worsening markets, peaking unemployment, political propagandizing, and skyrocketing gas prices indicate that "now more than ever, you can't stand alone." We, of course (Editor's Note: "Of course" couldn't be more ridiculous of phrase choice in this instance.), bring the evidence. After the jump, of course.

Emily & friend



Emily, along with her friend, are always side by side.



It's a matter of choice, rather than need; they choose to always have each other's backs.

Erica & Rachelle



These twins, like most every set, have been buddies since birth.



Whether they've selected matching outfits or not, they're sisters in arms for the long haul.



Their love recognizes blood, and transcends it into a special friendship.

Ann & Annabelle



Good friends are practically readers of one another's minds.



Whether there's a relation or not, they frequently think alike, dress alike, and, well, like the same things.

Blondes & Brunettes



Blondes and brunettes often make the best of buddies. If one loses something, the other's there to help search,



and the favor never goes unrecognized; a Sparky Anderson "atta girl" is all but guaranteed.

Charley Chase & Amy Gates



This pair, or C.C. & A.G. as they've been called only this one time , are the perfect example of friends sticking together. We'd offer even more detailed evidence of how, but frankly, we can't.

Marlie & Morgan



Not only are these bestest of friends never seen apart, they're always smiling.



Happy, humble, and hugging are the H's they use to describe their friendship.

Sophie Howard & Lucy Pinder



Sophie & Lucy might just be the famousest of buddies on the House of Georges this afternoon. We'd include more links, but the same aforementioned principle applies.

Peaches on the piano



This duo demonstrates how the word education has become too narrowly used and defined.



As friends, we can teach one another a skill, and it always comes back around, oftentimes in varying forms.

Veronika Fasterova & friend



Everyone's got that great buddy they've done crazy things with, like late-night dipping in public fountains, etc.



Such spontaneous events are always a splash,



and if the man comes a-questioning, it's crucial to cover for one another.

BFFs



The token yearbook-signing tag phrase "BFF," or best friend forever is often giggled at, but it should be taken seriously.



Calling someone your best buddy is heavy stuff, a concept that takes the commitment of both parties.



A BFF is the kind of friend you know, without saying that he or she will wash scratch your back, and you'll return the favor.

That's today's lesson. Feel free to vote for the original or the sequel in the comments. Or don't. If you don't though, you should don a Gorilla Mask and consider yourself cast into the sea of Daily Niners.
