It seems the glasses are gone for Tina Fey

by Richard Keller, posted Mar 3rd 2007 10:00AM

Are Tina Fey's glasses gone for good?Since I began posting for TV Squad a year ago I've noticed a change in the way I watch television. Before I would just watch the show for pure enjoyment and go on my merry way. Now when I watch a program I tend to view it in anal retentive mode, even when I'm not reviewing it.

That's where I am right now with 30 Rock, but not because of the writing or the casting. Frankly, I think that it's a very funny show, and that's coming from someone who thought it didn't have a chance back when it was first announced. No, I'm being anal here because I've noticed a change in Tina Fey's look. When the show began Fey, who plays Liz Lemon on the show, looked a lot like she did when she was on Saturday Night Live. However, in the last two shows, I've noticed a change.

First, her hair is different, it's much more relaxed. And, she's dressing a little less manly now than she had in the beginning. But what really got the A.R. antennae up was that Fey is no longer wearing her glasses. I believe she had them on for half of last week's episode, but then lost them towards the end. This week she didn't have them on at all.

Like I said . . . anal retentive.

Don't get me wrong, I like the look. And, actually, I see Fey more as Liz Lemmon now then as the former anchor of SNL's Weekend Update. Perhaps that's what Tina was looking to do with the change in her looks . . . let people know that the person she was on SNL is no longer. That, or she just had lasik because she was tired of wearing glasses. Either way, I like the statement she's making (if there is one. I just needed a sentence to end this paragraph).

She's hot anyother way. With or without eyeglasses. She's one of the hottest people in the planet.

I like Liz Lemon better with the glasses so I hope they won't disappear entirely.

I also like the way her hair is not always the same, and sometimes falls into the "bad hair day" category. She is one of us!

I love when people write "Get a life" in a comment, responding to someone else's comment, in response of a blog. It makes me feel so alive.

VitotheTiVo is so right.

Plus, Tina Fey is a bit of an ugly duckling. Alas, no swan in her future, glasses or no glasses.

TomB - no one is hating on this article. We are just stating that if you are going to write about TV female character's look, there are greater stories to cover like the CONTENT of the show...

What's all this hate about the content of this article?

I have a suggestion: If you come across an article that's titled, "It seems the glasses are gone for Tina Fey," and it doesn't interest you, then don't read it.

I enjoyed it. I thought it was interesting.

#6: I don't know that Tina Fey looks "plain" without her glasses, but it has been my observation over the years that on some women at least a nice pair of glasses makes them look hotter than they already are. Oddly enough it rarely seems to work on blondes.

Yeah, she doesn't actually need the glasses in real life. Hasn't for some time. She's didn't even need them when she was still on Update, but she just kept wearing them on TV because it was her signature look. Poster #5 was right as well, half an episode is worth a post about her "phasing" them out? I doubt that. She was on a date. She also often takes them off in her scenes alone in her office. She's not getting rid of them, its just that this show isn't about her being on a TV show, its BEHIND the scenes. I wear black rimmed glasses, and when I'm tired or relaxing I take them off as well. Or when I playing basketball or soccer. Doesn't mean I'm not phasing them out.

All this to say...she better not freakin' get rid of 'em because I think she looks hot with them ON!

I read, but can't find it now, that she had lasik some time ago, and only wears the glasses because it's part of her look that people recognize her by. But supposedly she never wears when she's not on TV.
