Tina Fey: “Bossypants†or Visionary Intelligent Motivated Woman Over 40?
She is both! Gorgeous without conceit, this former cast member and head writer “Saturday Night Live” is also the star and producer of “30 Rock” and now is enjoying great success with her bestselling book, “Bossypants.” Tina makes me laugh so hard I literally scare people around  me and my eye makeup runs.
Check out the NY Times review, which states it is a “dagger-sharp, extremely funny new book for which even the cover blurbs are clever.” (Janet Maslin, NY Times).
I regularly encounter and applaud women such as Tina, a true visionary, intelligent, motivated woman over 40. These women DARE to not only defy stereotypes but bash the biases, mash the myths and trample the trite! Tina Fey is one of these amazing women.
Hey, Tina, you and I both learned about life in Upper Darby PA. Yes, I too grew up and matured in spite of my environment. We lived through the days of short perky hairdos for hopelessly frizzy teens like us, from hairstylists who obviously commingled in the same demented gene pool. We survived cheez-whiz slathered cheese-steaks and other artery-clogging Philly suburb junk food, while being brainwashed to stay a virgin for way too long while waiting for Mr. Right. We were bullied by scary platinum-blonde high school girls who resembled call-girls crossed with the wicked witches of the east. Growing up Greek/Italian we endured the ongoing war between “the Catholics and the publics,†and the persistent use of Delaware County-isms like “youz goin†and “jeet yet?†– delivered in an accent that is painfully unique to Upper Darby PA.
It was an experience. But we both DARED to graduate from that little corner of PA and create a fulfilling productive life, surviving our roots but not forgetting them!
She’s someone to look up to with awe and inspiration. To become a motivated professiona, see Andrew J Kazanjian
