Kick- Ass Females: Jessica Pearson | Suits

Okay, so my next pick for kick ass females is none other than Jessica Pearson from Suits, played by Gina Torres.

Thought this gif was fitting, it's from: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/jessica-pearson

There is something about Jessica which is just so powerful. She's so fierce and let's not forget her fashion is one of the best I've seen for any female role. What makes her kick-ass?

#1 She's a female at the top of her career.
Her name is on the masthead-before-any other partners i.e. Pearson Hardman/ Pearson Darby/ Pearson Darby Spector. Females at the top of their career are always so admirable. She fought to get to her position and this shows strength and determination.

#2 She built Harvey. 
She saw Harvey's brilliance during his youth (while he was a worker in the mailroom) and gave him an opportunity to foster and grow it by paying his way through school. Without Jessica, Harvey would be nothing.

#3 Her wardrobe.
Okay so you must be sick and tired of me constantly bringing this up but seriously her wardrobe is phenomenal. Like absolutely unbelievably phenomenal. Classy, yet sexy, elegant and so chic. Let's take a look:

#4 Her loyalty.
She will stand by Harvey even when he does morally questionable things. She's dedicated to supporting him and often comes across as more than just his boss, but as someone who genuinely cares about him.

#5 The way she kicked Hardman out was pretty badass. 

#6 She's a good example of...
She's a good example of the idea that hard work will get you to where you want to be. That if you truly work hard nothing and no one can stop you from getting to where you want to be.

Overall, Jessica Pearson is someone who is pretty damn respectable. She is a character who I admire. Hardworking, strong willed, stubborn and determined she's someone who I look up to and who is 100% a kick-ass female character.

I hope one day I can be half as successful as she is.

Review: Suits Season 3 (SO FAR)

Okay to me this show is pure perfection. Why?

Harvey Specter. Enough said.

Okay so in all seriousness I think this is one of the most brilliant shows on television. But I'm not here to tell you why (because otherwise this blog post would go on forever) I'm here to discuss season 3 of Suits so far.

So this season was a bit different in that it had one prolonged case, Hessington Oil, which covered basically the entire season (so far) and this season also entailed Harvey and Jessica, not as a team but as rivals, with Harvey's goal to become a named partner and get his name on that damned mast head.

In all honesty I didn't really like this side of Harvey and Jessica's relationship. I did not like seeing them as rivals. To me they make a great team and to watch them go back and forth was annoying. I love Jessica, she is one of those dominant female roles that just absolutely kick ass (not to mention she has an impeccable wardrobe).

One of the other key story lines within this season was the relationship between Mike and Rachel (finally!). Now I really like seeing them together and after that steamy season 2 ending which was so hot I was literally on fire, I felt like season 3 explored their relationship pretty well. I really do like them together and I hope that this season doesn't end with a split between them. However, I do see Rachel as being a bit flaky with Mike's secret just because I could see her get mad at him and then go and report him.

This season also showed history into Harvey and Donna's relationship and further explored the dynamic between them. To me they are an unbelievable duo and ultimately must be together- I mean they just have to. However, we do have the return of Scottie and Harvey opening his heart up to her (oh gosh, yes I went there) and that he wants her in his life. To be honest, I don't really like them together and frankly Scottie just annoys me, because even though she's such a bad ass on her own she's so helplessly in love with Harvey that'll she'd probably do just about anything to be with him. And I really just want Harvey and Donna together.

So overall, I've found this season of Suits a bit slow. It's been a bit boring as well. I'm sick of the Hessington Oil case and the fact that it seems like there's always someone trying to completely destroy someone else. I wish they'd show Jessica more, her character is so powerful they could do so much with it. Hopefully the next half of the season will pick things up again because this show is bloody brilliant!
