Amy Poehler rocks my world

Twisty of I Blame the Patriarchy disparages Bust magazine, and I can't say that I disagree with her critiques. But check out this quote from Amy Poehler, of Saturday Night Live, in the latest issue of Bust, which I've just gotten around to reading:

"We were just talking about those American Apparel ads. They're fucking gross, man. Look, I love beautiful girls too. I think everyone should be free to have their knee socks and sweaty shorts, but I'm over this weird, exhausted girl. I'm over the girl that's tired and freezing and hungry. I like bossy girls, I always have. I like people filled with life. I'm over this weird media thing with all this, like, hollow-eyed, empty, party crap."
She also disparages the "pencil-thin vagina mustache" that characterizes today's pornified pubic hair and calls for "female comedies to be like full, giant '70s bushes right now, not tiny little pubic mustaches."

I love her!

Amy Poehler rocks my world as well... and so does Tina Fey. Basically the entire SNL news desk is as good as it's been in a while.

New blog address - I switched to livejournal and changed the name.

Note: female pubic hair was topic of discussion in Women's Contemporary Pop Culture seminar today. We watched a for-women, by-women lesbian porn tape, and lo and behold, the clean-shaven and landing-strip looks took the day. Someone actually blurted out during the strap-on action, "I thought that lesbians would have more hair." (It wasn't me; for my part, I wasn't expecting as much liquid as was happening. I didn't verbalize this, though.) Yay for porn in class.
