Women we love: Tina Fey
May 29th, 2008
Tina Fey is amazing. Sure, she was a writer for SNL which hasn’t been funny for like, 20 years, but she then went on to write both Mean Girls and 30 Rock (which is another show you should be watching, if not for Tina then for Alec Baldwin as the snuggly Jack Donaghy). And despite all the buzz around about Geek Girls who aren’t really geeks at all, Tina Fey really is a bit of a struggler. She was never a hit with the mans and married the first guy she sexed (still married btw), which in itself didn’t even happen till she was 24. And she gives great advice on this matter, like how if boys don’t like you just look at it as them practising on other girls and you being spared of their crapness.
TF: He was a nice enough guy.
HS: I’ve noticed he always has his shirt off
TF: Yeah, he was always taking his shirt off, he’s like “yeah, here’s my deal, I’m hot.” We had a meeting one day at like 11 o’clock, right before the show and he walks into he meeting shirtless wearing this like old musty sarong.
HS: He seems like he wouldn’t smell very good, does he smell good?
TF: He doesn’t smell great, no.
She also makes hilar jokes about working too much to raise her daughter properly and doesn’t carry on like most Hollywood mothers who think they’re the first woman ever to pop one out, or deserve some sort of fucking badge for doing so. Her daughter’s really cute, too. You know, for a kid.
lolz at Alec just randomly in that pic
I know she’s been questioned before in the media about always writing single girls as losers, like Liz Lemon in 30 Rock (who when you think about it is pretty much the most real woman we’ve got right now on tv) and the recently divorced and bitter Ms Norbury in Mean Girls, but I honestly think that’s just a reflection of how she would be herself if she hadn’t met her husband. Or, rather, how she actually is even with a husband.
