Everybody Loves Tina

Tina Fey.... how do I even begin to explain Tina Fey?

Tina Fey is flawless. I hear her sense of humor is insured for $10,000. She does car commercials.... on Saturday Night Live. Her favorite movie is Starsky and Hutch. One time she met Oprah Winfrey on a plane, and she told her she was beautiful and intelligent. One time she punched me in the f-

Wait, does all that sound familiar? If you're a young female who loves watching chick flicks while your hand is in a bag of Doritos or breaking off bits of a choco bar, odds are it does. One of the most memorable quotes from the cult classic Mean Girls. And if it wasn't for Tina Fey that movie would have not even existed.

Although she started her comedy act joining the comedy troupe The Second City based in Chicago, she made her mark on the public after signing on to Saturday Night Live (SNL) as a writer and then gradually moved up to head writer and performer on the show. I think she once said in an interview that when she first came in to SNL she was the only female writer there. And unless you've been living under a ton of bricks in the middle of the dessert I'm sure you know of her widely-loved parody character of Republican rep, Sarah Palin. 

Besides having a highly successful job on one of the funniest shows on TV to date, she also is responsible for bringing us the adaptation of the screenplay to the book "Queen Bees and Wannabees" by Rosalind Wiseman, which is none other than the female cult favorite Mean Girls. If Tina Fey didn't exist we would have never been able to use all those memorable lines from the film in our everyday lives.... and that would just not be acceptable. Her other movie credits include Baby Mama (with the magnificent Amy Poehler!), the Invention of Lying, and Date Night.

Sketch show, movies... what else? I know.... TV series! She still managed to squeeze a credit to her name for the hit tv show 30 Rock. No, she's not only the writer, again she stars in it as well. Her ability to do work behind and in-front of the camera in numerous projects is incredibly versatile, to say the least. She also has a ton of awards to show for all her work on all these shows. But what about socially-related titles given by the mass media? She has those too of course, such as the Associated Press' AP Entertainer of the Year as the performer who had the greatest impact on culture and entertainment in '08, appeared in Forbes Celebrity 100 list as one of the most powerful celebrities 3 years in a row, even got on the infamous People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People. 

Have I not yet managed to sway you into love and praise for this woman? Taste the rainbow yourself :

Tina & David

Also, I need her new book. I laughed like a mental person by myself in the bookstore when I read the back cover testimonials, 

I can't even imagine how amazing the inside will be like.

Starting to believe this woman is an alien from the future who's been sent here to show us what it is to be perfection? I've kind of known that for a while.
