Jessie Cave Appreciation Post

Sat, 18 May 2013 12:27:00 -0400

Obsession of the Week: Jessie Cave.

Just, like, everything Jessie Cave.

Let me tell you something about Jessie Cave. Jessie Cave is the the definition of hipster. And I adore her. You must check out her Instagram (where she posts hipster pictures of her cool hipster London lyfe) and her YouTube (where she uploads hilarious hipster videos with her hipster London friends, some from the Harry Potter movies). It is imperative. Check them out now.

I’m actually in love with Jessie Cave, ok?! Don’t judge…

(If you didn’t know, Jessie Cave played Lavender Brown in the movies…) One does not know why one would not know this but there are people in this world who live a damaged life — one without Jessie Cave… *gasp!!!* the horror! I can’t even imagine a world without Jessie…

Requested by: acciojkrowling

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH. The only reason she (acciojkrowling ) requested this is because she was one of the people Jo/Gayle was talking about. I see yo shade!

Either way it was pretty amazing that she got to meet Jo in that sense and then thereafter be discussed on live national television so ya know.. not that bad if you have those bragging rights xD :)
