No, but I’ve seen Tina Fey before.

As a person with teal hair, who doesn’t wear makeup most days, I don’t think this is weird. There are days when I match my eyeliner to my hair, or wear a bold lipstick — and on those days, I feel like I look GREAT — but most days I don’t wear any makeup at all, and I’ve never been told I look washed-out or unbalanced.

It doesn’t help that she seemed really uncomfortable? Like, the delivery of the whole interveiw was clunky and weird? This could have been funny, but it wasnt :(

Then I really don’t understand what your point is? Why are you arguing about this?

You did not make your position clear. You’re still talking about them “having a description” like the description wasn’t bloated beyond the realm of what was necessary for the story.
I still disagree with you.
Save your condescension for someone else.

Duuuuuude you’re missing my fucking point.
“A description” is not my problem.
My problem is that doing the BCO Trend Naming Bullshit is redundant when you name the restaurant in the story.
You can describe the eatery without going into the land of Masturbatory BCO Naming Bullshit.
You can describe the eatery…

There is a trend on BCO —which I’m sure you’re familiar with — where instead of saying the name of the restaurant, people will elaborately describe the place, to the point where anyone familiar with the restaurant will know exactly where they’re talking about.

I mean, it’s not even that it jumped out at me and screamed “boo!” It just irritated me (stylistically) that they did the “guess the restaurant via obvious clues” thing when they were going to tell us the name of the place anyways. That’s my whole (oh so minor) beef.

I never implied everyone was/there wasn’t? Are you even replying to my post?

Honestly, the question of whether it was clear to you seems like it’s less about whether the description was obvious as it is whether you have the frame of reference.

Coming this friday: Grim Yelp Reviews of Jezebel Articles

dude. thanks for your input. bro.

I hope Pete pitches a fucking fit when he hears how Mcann treated Joan. Yeah, he’s the one who initially pimped her out to Jaguar, but he always took her seriously and never made light of her contributions to the company. He’s an absolute scumbag, but he’s a scumbag whose politics are in the right place.

I understand the running joke of describing the restaurant to the point where there can be no confusion as to where you’re talking about, but I really thought it detracted from the story in this instance.

Obviously I disagree

No, I get not naming the restaurant at the start, and I know elaborately describing the eatery, to the point where it’s obvious what you’re talking about, is ~a thing~ in BCO, but telling the reader exactly what restaurant you’re talking about seemed kind of unnecessary given that she did eventually just tell us what…

I want to know why Doreen Jamison went to the trouble of elaborately describing her restaurant (notoriously large portion casual dining chain with famously large dessert menu) if she was going to tell us the name of the restaurant anyways.

To quote my dad, because it’s “like something on Star Trek.”

As a Catholic School survivor, I’m prepared to loudly believe the worst of Catholic Schools at any given opportunity, but this article is bullshit.
