So I missed doing a WCW yesterday... and honestly I can't even think of one specific person to pick out, so here are my snippets for my current list of woman crushes and why they are awesome. There is probably going to be a fuller post on them, but for right now, here's just a list of some awesome ladies.
I'm gonna start with Kat Dennings. I didn't even realize how much I loved her until this week. She's been on Fallon and Seth Meyers and Kelly and Michael and honestly she is an awesome guest to have. She is a really interesting person herself and she even makes the interviewer seem really interesting as well. She just seems like she has a ton of fun being on talk shows and she's genuinely a really smart, funny and interesting person. She also isn't afraid to talk about her relationship with Josh Groban, but she's also not just gonna talk about her boyfriend the whole time like "she's only with him because he's famous" type of thing. Which is something that can happen from time to time.
Grace Helbig is also awesome. She is both shy but also not afraid to kind of admit she's an introvert and she's an awkward person that makes youtube videos. I really felt inspired by her talk show, because there are so many people that just totally play it cool on tv or in talk shows, and won't say "I'm an introvert. This is terrifying to me but I'm doing it." And that is something thats cool. Other side of the coin, her first guest was Aisha Tyler and she said the same thing but opposite. She thinks hosting a talk show like Grace's is horrifying because there is no feedback or gratification from an audience the way that there is if you're doing standup or something. Also cool thing to admit. They're little exchange on the show was awesome because its like "hey you're this way I'm this way neither is right or wrong and we're both cool people and good talk show hosts." So that is super cool in my opinion!
Kristen Schaal, I'm probably going to do a full post on her very soon... but everything I've seen her in I've thought was absolutely amazing. Bob's Burgers? Amazing. Flight of the Conchords. Hilarious. Last Man on Earth? My current favorite tv show! 30 Rock? Yessss! The Daily Show? Sooo sooo funny. She is just awesome and even if she's just the voice of a character in a cartoon she totally brings it awesomely. She is really really cool.
Nia Vardalos... I just love. Her book is fantastic if you haven't read it. Whether you are looking to adopt or not, if you don't even want kids this book is just cool. And all of her movies are indie movies and little gems that are just amazing and often overlooked. Plus she's so sweet and supportive to her fans on twitter and facebook she's very active and she genuinely cares about people and about her fans. She's so sweet. I love her. She's an awesome mom, an awesome writer, and just an awesome lady all around. I think its technically illegal for me not to love her because I am Greek... but I love her.
And Gina Rodreguiz who is Jane on Jane the Virgin... I love that show and it is a cheesy soap opera type show and its not realistic at all... I know people who are like "that whole storyline could never happen. She wouldn't keep the baby and she'd sue the hospital." and Yeah that is what would probably happen in real life, but this isn't real life at all and I can accept that. When you watch it you know you're watching a nighttime soap thats funny, and I can accept it at least. I think Jane is such an empowering character that I really want more people, especially young girls to watch it. And it might not be as apparent to young girls because it might seem like this is real life and not just a tv show... but idk. I feel like I want to show this to my future daughter, if I have a future daughter or something. Its a good show and Gina Rodreguiz does an amazing job with her performance.
ALrighty that is it. Happy month after Women's Month... lol.
Byeee!
