I was gaping throughout that article and at the pictures. I love that she has a crush on Jon Stewart. And that he credits her with the greatest line in 2008.
The scar story is terrible. Her poor parents must have been horrified.
I love that Alec's advice to her was to reveal her beauty. He makes it really endearing. I did not know his Bff/Marci Klein was Calvin Klein's daughter.
The greatest lesson I got from the article, in light of a ginormous exam this Friday? Be more German (like Tina, not um Hitler)
The bad thing is this magazine would probably online reach here next year. Ugh.
Wow, not only was that article made of win, but I almost crapped myself when I checked the byline and saw that it was written by that lunatic Maureen Dowd! Crazy stuff, that. MoDo must have been taking her meds that week, or something.
“She was quite round,” he says, “in a lovely, turn-of-the-century kind of round-that beautiful, Rubenesque kind of beauty.” And as for her clothes: “Things that didn’t match. She used to wear crazy boots. She would wear just a lot of knee-length frumpy dresses with thrift-store sweaters and kind of what was comfortable. It still looked kind of cool on her. I used to get all my suits in thrift stores, because I realized I was the size of little old men who were dying.” The five-foot-three-and-a-half Richmond says they bonded over hot veal sandwiches and their appreciation of “sarcastic humor and Garry Shandling shows.”
This cracks me up.
Also, I love the image of Baldwin saying, "Tina, you're a beautiful girl. Unbutton that blouse!" It's like it would seem swarmy from ANYONE else, but it's somehow endearing from him.

I knew Marci Klein was Calvin Klein's daughter, but I never knew she was kidnapped when she was a kid. Horrible!
I had to take a semester of German a few years ago, and it was one of the worst things EVER. If only I'd had Tina for inspiration then.
I love how dorky Jeff makes them sound in Chicago - Tina with her mismatched clothes and Jeff with his thrift store suits from little old men.
I also love that Tina -- despite her sense of humor -- is totally a prude, because I am too.
And I love that Alec thinks she's a "beautiful girl!"

Tina's husband sounds awesome.

Am I right?
