Thank you so much for putting Daniel Radcliffe and Chris Trousdale as Cuties. They are the greatest! I hated to ruin the mag, but I had to tear their pics out and put them on the front and back of my notebook. Studying just got a lot easier!

Daniel Radcliffe is the most awesome CL Cutie ever! The way he loves his parents and thinks they are amazing is even better. What a major sweetie!

I hope you never stop doing CL Cutie. Justin Tosco is so hot! I just had to draw a picture of him. I also found out we both have the same astro sign--Gemini.

I've been way too afraid to talk to my crush. My friends have advice, but they are just as afraid of guys they like. After reading "Untangle Your Tongue," I felt brave and ready to talk to him. It turns out, he wanted to ask me out. We went to the Valentine's Dance!

I recently started rug-hooking. Thank you for recognizing it as a cool thing ["Get Hooked!," CL Fun, F/M '03]. My most recent design is a peace sign, and I'm hoping to make it into a pillow!

GL READER LETTER OF THE MONTH

Thanks so much for "She's a Knockout" [Short Stuff, F/M '03]. I think it's great that Melinda Cooper is only 17 and already has her proboxing license. She shows that it's not how old you are, but how much talent and determination you have. I've always wanted to try kickboxing. Now, I'm going to.

Elizabeth

Dear Elizabeth,

One of the best parts of creating GL is sharing positive examples of girls who are doing awesome things. Melinda totally rocks, and so do you for following her lead. Go for it, girl!
