Sigh. And that title, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason I will never be Tina Fey. I had a perfect oppurtunity to come up with a intelligent and witty title for this worship-inspired post, and yet, I failed.
I’ll admit, I didn’t like Tina Fey when she did Weekend Update, but I will say now, this was no fault of her own. It was Jimmy Fallon’s. I hated him (though I pretended to like him because I had a crush on the Priest’s daughter, who would lick the floor he walked on) and by an unfair judgment, I didn’t like her. By mere association. I’ve seen the error of my ways. Who doesn’t love Mean Girls? However, I would guess it would be 30 Rock that sealed the deal for me. At this point, I would like to note, she merely rose to someone I admired. 1
Yet, the more I think of it, the more I want to elevate her to Idol Status. She’s so smart and funny, and I’m talking actually funny, here. Her humor is intelligent and clever, something that I really admire. She doesn’t aim to attract the lowest common denominator. You’re either with her, or you’re not. In a world of the Craptastic Spoofs, I admire this. She’s relatively young, and she has already been the head writer of SNL (the first female one, to boot) and has moved on to her own (highly successful and hilarious) series – that she created — not to mention penning and starring in various movies. Then of course, she did that Sarah Palin thing, and who didn’t love that? Even Palin did, I’m fairly sure, and that woman is an idiot. Tina Fey is awesome. And a tad on the hot side.
Tonight I toiled covering the Emmy’s, but why would I? I could probably offer no insight, so instead, I thought I would pay tribute to someone cool in my books, who happened to also do very well in this year’s Emmy’s.
Tina Fey, keep doing what you’re doing — unless it’s online reading arbitrary blog posts about yourself, because I find that a bit disappointing – because I’m more than certain you are a hero to more young girlies like myself.
P.S. I would like to state that even though I adore Tina Fey, it really freaks me out how much of a different person she looks like when she removes her glasses. Like, it actually freaks me out. I just shuddered a bit there.

- Though, she did elevate to crush status shortly there after, to which I may or may not attribute this years AfterEllen.com’s Hot 100 List, which she made the number one spot in. Not that I only do what mass of lesbians due, however, I think it was the amount of exposure I was getting of all things Tina. For some reason, there was a two week stint, where she made some form of appearance every day, whether it be news or in a movie she did. Or something. ↩

Oh, Tina Fey – I adore thee!
The glasses really are her shtick, she shouldn’t take them off.
I LOVE her in 30 Rock. She’s smart, cute and funny. What else does a person need?!
The thing about Tina Fey, and her seemingly never ending supply of awesome, is that whilst her humour is intelligent and, well, funny, she has no problem making those jokes which are cheap and completely obvious. Moreover, she has no problem putting herself in the line of the joke, making her physical appearance and sensible shoes the butt of many of her jokes. THis is an admirable quality in an era where half funny, unintelligent money makers like Will Ferrel and John C Reily are continually, massaging each other’s… ego’s… cough.
There is a significant under-representation of (straight) women in comedy (sorry Ellen, you’re a category of your own t hese days), largely because, it has been asserted that they’re not funny. Unless they are in some way gay. I’m not sure I agree. Don’t get me wrong, I like laughing at gay people just as much as the next cultural theorist but to see an emergence of funny, heterosexual women is an exciting thing.
No wonder the lesbians are trying to claim her. STAY AWAY, SHE’S OURS!
