Conversation from last night while watching 30 Rock:
Me: Throw some glasses on me, and I am Liz Lemon.
Will: That's not a good thing, Kim.
Me: But look at her outfit! We dress very similarly.
Will: That's not a good thing, Kim.
Me: But she dresses so cute! I love what she's wearing!
Will: ...that's the point, Kim.
Evidence (probably more convincing if you know me in real life):
 |
| If it was colder in SF, I'd be wearing this. I am wearing a very similar hat today though. |
 |
| I wore this when I went as LL for Halloween. It was an outfit made of clothes from my closet. |
 |
| I don't have that exact hat, but I have one that is very similar. And one that looks like a penguin. And I want her scarf. |
 |
| Pretty sure I've worn this exact thing. |
Please don't tell me anything but "You're totally right! She always looks cute, even when she's in her frumpy gray TGS sweatshirt, and I bet you look equally as cute in your frumpy gray DISQUS sweatshirt! Or in the cardigans and tshirts you wear almost every day! Just like Liz!"
I honestly love it when my coworkers laugh and tell me I am having a Liz Lemon moment, because I find her to be charmingly awkward and also hilarious. So what if I identify with Liz Lemon? She is awesome.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
Liz Lemon is kind of the "average Joe" for women, I think. She's quirky, but not insane, smart, but insecure, wants to be pretty, but incapable of turning down good food and a comfy sweater. She's essentially the female version of every male lead in every sitcom for the last 40 years. We all are a little Lemon!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I like that. Great description, Jess. Everyone's a little bit Lemon sometiiiiiimes...
ReplyDeletelet's be honest... yesterday liz was wearing "tina fey was pregnant five months ago" clothes. not her best day. generally, she dresses pretty basic/cute though. jeans and plaid shirts and the like. that's pretty much my uniform... it's not the hottest thing on the planet but nothing to turn your nose up at.
ReplyDeleteWell, yesterday she was also wearing nothing but a bra and a dickie, soooooo yeah. But I mostly liked her hat + scarf + hoodie situation, since I wear that...a lot. I think she always looks put together (unless they are purposefully making her look disheveled) and pretty cute. Cardigans FTW!
ReplyDeleteI heart LL...you should have seen Tina Fey on Jimmy Fallon the other night...she's hilarious and I want to be her friend :). I also agree that she dresses great...love her style...but then again I long to work somewhere where yoga pants are considered normal (aside from you know, being a yoga instructor or working at Lululemon).
ReplyDeleteWho DOESN'T want to be Tina Fey's friend?
ReplyDeleteYou're totally right! She always looks cute, even when she's in her frumpy gray TGS sweatshirt, and I bet you look equally as cute in your frumpy gray DISQUS sweatshirt! Or in the cardigans and tshirts you wear almost every day! Just like Liz!
ReplyDeleteI heart you.
I can always count on you to tell me the truth! I mean, what I want to hear! I mean, the truth!
