Sydney’s point of view

 Oxymoron – New York Auto Show

If you need a giggle

While taking a 20 minute internet browsing break from working on my midterms in the library, I just happen to come across these pictures.  Don’t ask me how.  I just did, ok.

I’ve been having a bit of a rough week and they brightened my day.  I’d like to share in the wealth.

I have more respect for Vanity Fair

This article was emailed to me from my friend Ray (thanks bro!), who knows I like to write about women and comedy.

The article itself is really interesting, especially about the changing face of women in comedy. No longer do they have to play the trashy, drunk, retarded female character (even though it can still be kind of funny if not overdone) in order to get laughs. Being funny and sexy is the new trend! This has both pros and cons. Pro – women don’t need to wear window curtains to get a laugh (think Carroll Burnett and her Gone With The Wind skit). Con – Is this a necessarily healthy female image to promote? I’ll dissect this more later on. But for now, enjoy the piece on my home-girls Tina Fey, Amy Pohler, Kristin Wigg, Maya Rudolf and (not so much) Sarah Silverman.

Who Says Women Aren’t Funny? By Alessandra Stanley

One last note – how hot is this picture? These women worked hard to become so successful. One day, (hopefully) there’ll be a picture like this of me and my own funny crew – my Brooklyn sisters Jess, Jenn and I, rockin the comedy scene.
