Twitter user @ghostgrl shared an anecdote on Aug. 5 that many women and girls will probably relate to.

“I asked this girl where she got her nails done and she googled the exact address and showed me a pic of the building,” she wrote. “THAT’S girls supporting girls.”  

Inspired by her story, and the many who followed up with their own, HuffPost Women decided to ask our followers to share their own similar experiences with the #GirlsSupportingGirls hashtag. 

The results are funny, heartwarming, and familiar (hello, drunk ladies we’ve met in bathrooms!) ― and ultimately serve as a reminder that we’re at our best when we’re supporting one another. 

Check out some of the best #GirlsSupportingGirls tweets below.

Famous Female Friendships
Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald(01 of08)

While countless articles, films and documentaries have chronicled the lives of both America’s most famous sex symbol and the Queen of Jazz respectively, most leave out an important detail: their friendship with each other. Marilyn, who idolized and was inspired by Ella, supported her friend in the face of racism, by helping her get her first gig at a prominent nightclub in 1955 by promising to sit in the front row of the audience every night for a week.

Gloria Steinem and Marlo Thomas(02 of08)

Marlo Thomas and Gloria Steinem met in 1967 when an agent pitched the idea of Marlo playing Gloria in a TV-movie. The movie never happened (and the agent turned out to be quite offensive), but the two activists have remained friends ever since. Says Marlo about Steinem, “We have been confidantes, soul mates and sisters.” (credit:Getty)

Beyoncé and Kelly's friendship dates back to their days as two of the three members of Destiny's Child. Though both went their own way over a decade ago, the two have remained close friends. Despite recent reports to the contrary, Kelly insists, "I love my sister. [Beyoncé] is so incredibly supportive. [She is] one of the closest people to me." (credit:Getty)

Cruz and Hayek (who have been friends since early on in their careers) first worked together on the film “Bandidas.” In fact, they almost died together when the plane taking them to the set nearly crashed in 2006. Their friendship was strong even then -- Penelope said about the experience, “A thought came across my mind that if I were to die at that moment, at least I’d die with my best friend.” (credit:Getty)
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler(05 of08)

These hilarious women met in 1993 at an improv class in Chicago and continued to work together throughout the years at the "Upright Citizens Brigade" and "SNL" (where the two co-hosted the segment “Weekend Update” from 2004-2006). They eventually collaborated on films such as "Mean Girls" and "Baby Mama." Amy has said about Tina, "She’s...really, really funny and incredibly hard-working and a very supportive and loyal friend." Tina once quipped about Amy, "We're like Oprah and Gayle. Only we're not denying anything." (credit:AP)
Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock(06 of08)

It seems that life imitates art for McCarthy and Bullock, who play a crime-fighting duo in this summer's much anticipated buddy comedy "The Heat." The film's director, Paul Feig, described the actresses as "inseparable…Normally after movies, those friendships go away. Theirs blossomed.” (credit:AP)
Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King(07 of08)

"Oprah and Gayle" are names that have practically become synonymous with "female friendship." Oprah has said of their friendship: "I wish every person on earth to experience somebody to care for them and to know them in such a way that they only want the best for you… When you become famous...a lot of people lose oxygen and they can’t make the summit with you. [It's good] to be able to have somebody who not only can make the summit, but stand at the summit with you and rejoices in your being able to make it.” (credit:Getty)
Hillary Clinton and Meryl Streep(08 of08)

It just makes sense that these two women, who are arguably better at their respective jobs than most other humans ever, discovered they are kindred spirits. The photo of the two taking a selfie at the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors Gala dinner became an instant classic, and Meryl gave a heartfelt introduction for Hillary Clinton at the 2012 Women In The World Summit stating, “She has turned out to be the voice of her generation. I’m an actress, and she is the real deal.” (credit:AP)
