Feynatic

I wrote a list of blogging goals for 2008. The list includes things like "Quadruple the daily visitor count", "Write more tutorials" and "Drop more f-bombs".

Another one of my goals is to somehow figure out a way to get Tina Fey to read my blog. In her American Express magazine ad (the one with the photo of her and her cute daughter, Alice), she says that her perfect day includes:

"Coffee/playground/nap/exercise/flea market/playground/bathtime/dinner with grownups/see a great movie/asleep by 9pm."

Do you see "flea market" listed there? I'm guessing that she doesn't go to flea markets for the cheap socks. Maybe she likes the same kind of vintage stuff that I write about. I'm also hoping that she might think my blog is funny and she might actually laugh at something that I would write. And yet another connection...we both lived in Upper Darby, PA. Lucky us.

I don't want anything from her. Well, maybe just some kind of sign that she read the blog. But that's it. I don't have a screenplay to send her, and I don't expect a role on 30 Rock as Liz Lemon's lesbian love interest. I just think she is really funny, and she might enjoy my blog. And, since the writer's strike is going on and the Golden Globes were just cancelled, maybe she is really bored and is looking for something to do. (Fat chance, but it makes sense in my silly little head.)

I'm sure Tina is already reading my blog under the username vintage-ho, so she totally knows about Big Boggle, my father-in-law's cock sock, and my childhood yard sale memories. But I'd like to send her a link just in case I'm wrong. Unfortunately, I can't seem to track down an email address or website for her, but I have all year to keep trying...

Maybe if you put Tina Fey in a bunch of titles when she googles herself, and you know she does, she'll come across your blog.Or do a whole post of why Tina Fey would enjoy a variety of your vintage finds and what she could do with them .. and really, why wouldn't she want to read your blog.. its hilarious.

I'll be waiting for the f-bombs.

I am also a fellow Feynatic and have also daydreamed (after reading her Am Ex questionnaire) that we are friends, taking our daughters who are similar in age to coffee and playground and flea market...and then we get married...oh, sorry.

May the Fey force be with you. I'm sure she's already an avid fan of yours.

Oh...Tina Fey is my hero. In my mind, I am sure we'd spend hours together laughing and talking about....um....er....something really funny.

After seeing her Amex ad...I knew we'd talk about flea market finds:)))

This post reminds me of an obsession I had last summer with Amy Sedaris and I was bound and determined to get her to join my craft group! I sent her the most awesome letter and application to join and I got back a postcard. Signed by Amy Sedaris but it is no gushing letter of acceptance and instructions to the next meeting like I was hoping for.

Happy New Year-I am sooo glad you are back from your cruise. I look forward to reading your entries.

I *heart* Tina Fey...you know what they say about those 6 degrees of seperation...I am sure she is just a hop, skip and click away:)

[Roxie]

You've got me laughing hysterically. If Tina doesn't find your blog and laugh her A@# off, she is missing out. Good luck with your search to find her, I know you will.

good luck with your goals I believe in writing it down and watching it happen...all the best in the world, Jennifer

Who wouldn't wuve your adowable website.Tina Fey would be lucky to ready it! Also... I kind of feel the same way about your awesome sense of humour and sense of style. What you do is so beautiful, I find myself saying "if only she would take a look at my website and leave a comment, I feel like we like some of the same stuff and see it in the same way..."

You are hilarious! Seriously. I love Tina Fey too - in almost a stalker-like fashion, it's not good. If she comes over here be sure and send her my way after...

;)

This is one of my favorite blog posts I've read in all my "bleading" years! You go, girl! I am so stealing this idea...I just have to narrow down which celebrity I'd like to read my blog. Julia Child comes to mind, but that might be tricky.

[Bean]

Oh my, thanks for the great laugh this morning!! I love Tina Fey, too - she's f-ing hilarious!

Tina Fey fan here!!!!!!

If she's cool enough for flea markets....then she's gotta read cool blogs.

Yours ranks right up there when it comes to great, funny, etc etc blogs.

Hi Tina!!!!! (just in case she reads your blog) Better safe than sorry!
