If you're already watching "30 Rock," you'll know what I mean when I say that Liz Lemon would never expect to be on the cover of Marie Claire (even though she might wish for it, but would never tell anyone while sober). Lo and behold, this week, we have not one, but two glam Tina Fey covers to celebrate. All this after last month's slightly naughty Vanity Fair cover with her, Amy Poehler, and Sarah Silverman. Are women funny, indeed.
So I have to ask: has any other "SNL" Weekend Update anchor ever tackled this many careers at once? From writer to actor to model to Hollywood power girl, Tina has catapulted from proud geek to ironically chic in just a few short years.
Nothing else quite has the cache of a fashion magazine cover. Does Tina's success mean that we'll see more women on the covers of magazines who represent more than just a pretty face? Only time will tell. But I'm pretty sure that's what Liz Lemon would want.
