30 days of female awesome, Day Eight: Favorite female character in a comedy show

I don't watch a whole lot of comedies anymore, and I've already mentioned Roseanne. There's Jane and the others from Coupling, of course, and The Vicar of Dibley, but... hmm... No, I think I'm still going to cheat a little and pick someone from a dramedy.

Am holding off the alphabet for now because I'm partyplanning and that takes all my energy and then some. I had a job interview today and that was NOT good timing. (My papaverin pills actually helped, though. That's a first.) But the TV meme is less work, so here's another day of that, giving you some Silvio Horta for the third TV day in a row:

I've been doing some backreading in the motivator thread on TWoP and found all these posts going "In my fandom, the geeks look like this. We win." Well, I have waaaay too many fandoms for something like that, and so instead, I'm doing a geekery picspam of lots of cute geek characters. (I would say "hot" geek characters, except that two of them are ( Read more... )

So, I started thinking about just how many CoCs are underrepresented in fandom, sometimes vastly so (*cough* Gus on Psych * cough*), and it became rather depressing - and then I started wondering about the ones that aren't underrepresented, and why that is.

At which point thelana made a very interesting post about that, among other things. Her example of ( Read more... )

America Ferrera may be the most beautiful woman in Hollywood right now.

My God, I'm so in love with her. Look at that fourth pic. *drowns in her eyes*
