I got a belated chance to read the Tina Fey article in Vanity Fair. It focused almost entirely on the way she looks... shocking considering there are like 95 Annie Liebowitz photographs of her, all dolled up.
Weird part on Fey meeting Palin backstage at SNL:
'“She asked me where my daughter was,” Fey says. (Alice had been there earlier at the rehearsal, pointing at the monitor showing Palin and thinking it was somehow her mommy, even though Mommy was with her.)'
Is it just me or does that sound kind of condescending to Fey's daughter, as if Maureen Dowd thinks she's an idiot for mistaking Palin for Fey. This is a little girl (a 3-year-old) who's grown up watching her mom on TV. I am sure she has been in a scenario where she has been with her mother while Fey has also been on the TV screen. Is it really that shocking that she would see an image of a woman who looks remarkably like her mother on TV and think it was her?
