Funny girl Tina Fey graces the cover of the March 2010 issue of Vogue magazine.
Some are saying they air brushed out her scar, which is on the left side of her face, but it just looks to me like the light is shining on that side and washes it out. Tina never really talks about the scar, but her husband, Jeff Richmond, explained recently that when she was 5 years old a stranger slashed her face outside her home.
Check out some highlights below from her interview with the mag.
Of her scar: “It’s impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it.”
Of normalcy: “I feel like I represent normalcy in some way. What are your choices today in entertainment? People either represent youth, power, or sexuality. And then there’s me, carrying normalcy.” Pause. “Me and Rachael Ray.”
On being healthy: “People will say, ‘Oh, fashion magazines are so bad, they’re giving girls a negative message’—but we’re also the fattest country in the world, so it’s not like we’re all looking at fashion magazines and not eating. Maybe it just starts a shame cycle: I’m never going to look like that model, so… Chicken McNuggets it is! And conversely, I don’t look at models who are crazy skinny and think I want to look like that, because a lot of them are gigantic, with giant hands and giant feet.”
On the power of clothes: “I think women dress for other women to let them know what their deal is. Because if women were only dressing for men, there would be nothing but Victoria’s Secret. There would be no Dior.”
On her Sarah Palin impersonations: “People started projecting politics onto me. There are people who hate me now because of that.”
“The partisan nature of politics continues to appall me. I’m almost paralyzed by my inability to see things in black-and-white… I felt uncomfortable to be in that discussion. The weird thing is, when Darrell Hammond or Will Ferrell or Dana Carvey did an impersonation of a president, no one assumed it was personal, but because Sarah Palin and I are both women and people think women are meaner to each other, everyone assumed it was personal.”
On her favorite moment from the Vogue shoot: “I was posing for [Mario Testino] and he was talking from behind the camera and he was like, ‘You have to fliiiirt, darleeeng. You have to bee-leeve you are wuuuurthy to on the cover’ And then at one point he said very quietly, ‘Lift your chin, darling. You are not eighteen.’ And I was like, ‘You probably say that to all the 23-year olds.’”
