Tina Fey Covers 'Vogue' March 2010

The fashion magazine sent out a note from the actress promoting her cover shoot for its March issue.

With a subject line that reads "My Vogue cover," Fey used her usual funny-self to describe her experience of appearing in Vogue. She compared it to things you might expect to see only once in your lifetime - such as Halley's Comet and the eruption of Mount St. Helens volcano.

HAHAHA!!!

"If you've always wondered what it would be like if the talented people of Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabanna, and Vogue gave your 40-year-old sister-in-law a makeover, then this is the issue for you," writes Fey.

The promotion includes links to renew a Vogue subscription and to give one as a gift.At a time when the publishing industry is in a slump, magazines rely heavily on subscriptions for ad revenue. They generally give a discount to potential subscribers to boost the overall circulation they can promise advertisers.

Here’s more from what the funny woman opened up about:


On normal girls: “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. (pauses) Me and Rachael Ray.”

On America’s weight issues: “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 wearing hand-me-downs: (When she was in grade school, a cousin gave her some hand-me-downs that included a “colonial-lady” Halloween costume.) “It consisted of a bonnet and a burlap apron and a long skirt. And I would just wear it sometimes after school. As an outfit… It was the Bicentennial! People were excited!”
