girl crush - the pirate princess

i've found a new obsession in ana de mendoza. it's not cause she's a princess. and it's not cause she's super beautiful, even though she was. it's cause she's rocking a muthafreakin' eyepatch after losing an eye from fencing as a kid. i can't find much about her, but i still find her utterly fascinating and have slight a girl crush, to be honest.

apparently there's some movies about her, which are now a must.
