150. Tina Fey





It's been a long time coming.

Sat down last evening to turn my CV into something more useful (a chocolate teapot?) and thought that I should enjoy myself while I worked. So I put on Season One of 30 Rock. The time flew by, of course, and I laughed a lot, and even managed to get some work done, and I was reminded of the sheer Goddessness that is Tina Fey.

Tina Fey wrote Mean Girls, which isn't to everybody's taste, but is much better than most of the other movies in that genre, and has some great jokes. Tina Fey wrote 30 Rock (most of it) and it was her idea - which alone makes her a Goddess. Tina Fey was the anchor for many years of the News section on Saturday Night Live. She was the first woman in the job and she was the Head Writer on the show - which makes her not only a Goddess but a kick-ass Goddess. Tina Fey wrote and starred in the only funny American Express ad. She won an Emmy for her impersonation of Sarah Palin on SNL. Yes, Baby Mama should have been better (but she didn't write it) and yes, Date Night could have been funnier (she didn't write it.) She's making a movie with Meryl Streep. How will I sleep until then?
She's a brunette.
She wears glasses.
