Today's Comediennes as "Sexy Librarians"?!

| | Comments (2)
Librarian.jpgIn her recent Vanity Fair article, New York Times television critic, Alessandra Stanley highlights the new generation of (television) comediennes, such as Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Sarah Silverman, who not only "act, perform stand-up, write, and direct," but also "[dish] out the jokes with a side of sexy," noting that Fey is an example of one who "cultivates a 'sexy librarian' look" on her hit program, 30 Rock with her "foxy glasses and decolletage."

While I find this highly amusing, I would encourage those trying to emulate the 'sexy librarian look' to look no further than my fellow colleague in Libraryland, The Well Dressed Librarian for advice and tips. :-)

If comediennes are dressing like "sexy librarians," I wonder who the librarians are emulating?

Hopefully, not from Harry Potter or any other romance novel set in Renaissance times.

And thanks for the props!!
