Baby Tina Fey Works It in Bangs and Vest
This’ll soon be everywhere it hasn’t been already, and with good reason. As James St. James writes at WOW Report, “1990s Tina Fey was the most ’90s-looking ’90s person that ever existed.” (Also, this ad is a peek into the part of Tina Fey’s psyche that insists on forever identifying her gorgeous superstar self as […]
