Got Glasses?

- Style Grrl

Have you seen the January cover of Vanity Fair magazine? Hot! Tina Fey is definitely one of my favorite lesbians. Oh wait, she not a lesbian?! So, why do us grrls love her so much, beside the obvious reasons? Well, I will tell you what first peaked my interest and sent my gaydar soaring. She's got the "gay glasses". You know which ones I mean. Eight years ago when I was coming out, these black plastic frame glasses were the sure fire way to pick out my "teammates" in the crowd. I even ditched my contacts and got a pair. I thought it would make me less attractive to men (cause ya know girls in glasses are never sexy..wink, wink) and help send out the bat signal to all the single ladies.


Well, the "gay glasses" are no longer just for us. Lots of straight celebrities like our girl Tina have been sporting the specs. The secret codes and stereotypes no longer stand. Without these codes,I think my gaydar is still good, almost too good (I think everyone is gay). But, some of my old tricks of the trade just don't work anymore. So what is a girl supposed to do? How are we supposed to tell if that cute librarian looking woman in the cubicle down the hall is on our team? I guess we're going to have to do something that we hate to do. We're actually going to have to walk up and talk to her! And yes, come out and ask her out!

I guess if that's too bold for you or you're married/partnered like me, then you can do what I'm doing...shopping for a new pair of hot designer glasses. I'm irked but also flattered by the fact the straight world wants to copy us. Regardless, I feel the need to start a new trend that makes the glasses cool and oh so lesbo again. The key is color. My favorite happens to be blue. A couple specs I'm considering:
Christian Dior
Vivienne Westwood

I Found My Sexy Librarian: Tina Fey!

by Cynthia Rodriguez

I've never been a big Saturday Night Live fan. Over the years, I'd check out certain skits, themes, characters, but was never a big follower of the show. Until recently, I never considered myself a big Tina Fey fan either. Not that I didn't like her, but I guess I didn't really notice her as much as I should have. It may sound a bit shmuckish but I have to admit I've jumped on her fan bandwagon recently because of her current, impeccable, politician imitation status. I honestly don't know which is more entertaining, the debates, or the imitation of them. Hmm, on second thought, I don't know if I can really tell the difference anymore...

I never realized how beautiful, brilliant, and fabulous she is. Although, I am pretty sure I am not alone in this little revelation. Now I find myself in pursuit of all kinds of information on her and videos featuring her, other than SNL. I loved her in "Mean Girls", as the Math teacher. Shuffling through the plethora of internet info on her from her wonderful activist activities on environmentalism to the famous mysterious scar on her face, I had an epiphany.I thought to myself, "DUH!, She IS that sexy librarian type!" That kind of nerd chic I've been looking for. The sort of woman I pride myself in having matured to have a liking to. She's even (around) my age, and she's FROM Pennsylvania! Definitely not your stereotypical Hollywood bimbo. I don't know of many other celebrity women like that. Actually, at the moment I can't think of ANY other celebrity women like that.

Tina, where you been all my life? Of course, straight and married to a man. If anything, at least now I know that type of woman really does exist, and it's not some little perverse figment of my imagination. Now if I can just find a real-life, regular, every day woman like that, it'd be perfect! Not saying that Fey is not "real-life" or anything like that, but you know what I mean. I mean, someone I'd actually have a decent shot with.

Anyways, the real reason for this rambling is that my "Chief" as I call her, Renee, asked me to write a little somethin' somethin' on Tina Fey's upcoming book she's been offered millions to write. I repeat, millions. Not too shabby for a writing gig, eh? Apparently the LITTLE, BROWN & CO. is interested in Tina writing a series of humorous essays. To me, it sounds kinda like blogging, but in a book form. Part of the deal involves a gift to the foundation BOOKS FOR KIDS, and building some libraries and that kind of thing. Good stuff. You best believe I'll be getting me a copy of Tina's book once it's out, and still hot off the press. I anticipate a very fun read and review writing. I usually never write about celebrities because...I don't really care. Renee told me she is "hot to trot" at the moment, and I am lovin' me some Tina right now, so I thought, what the hell. So, a "shout-out" to you Tina Fey, and everything you do. This Lesbiatopian Bookworm can't wait for your book.

Tina Fey is my Hero... Again

SNL does it again. This clip needs no introduction.
