Okay, so there are a lot of hot shirtless people on Instagram. FINE. I’m over all that (except for Nick Jonas—I’m not a complete monster).

But the real beauty of Instagram comes from the leading ladies some people didn’t even know were there.

Just because I’m a saint, I’ve compiled this list of 11 people you absolutely must follow, below.

2. Felicity Huffman

Happy Halloween from the Muffmans A photo posted by Felicity Huffman (@felicityhuffman) on Oct 31, 2014 at 5:22pm PDT

She’s a great actress who lost an Oscar for TransAmerica to Reese Witherspoon. And to make matters even more infuriating, she was giving a brilliant award-baiting performance as a trans woman with a secret.

But to those of us who follow her on Instagram and Facebook, she's simply “Flicka," a nickname she gave herself. And she’s got more terrible mom memes to share than one can possibly keep track of.

3. Faith Ford

It's a great day for a birthday! :)

This woman is an American treasure, so show her some Instagram love. Also worth noting: she only follows two people, one of whom is Lily Rabe.

11. Jeffery Self

I did stand up in front of these two tonight which was mortifying and completely high inducing and endlessly cool.

Last but not least, this actress bombards us with all sorts of brooding selfies while she cooks pasta, listens to records, and drinks too much at parties.

Please follow her and like her photos because, well, if one thing is clear it’s that she needs the validation.

Jeffery Self will be performing at The Duplex on February 10 and 11 (visit Purple Pass for tickets) and hosts a weekly podcast, This Is Really Important, on iTunes. comes from the leading ladies some people didn’t even know were there.
