Dressing up? No, thanks! The thought of slipping into a cocktail dress or attending a posh event gives me the heebie-jeebies. I can’t help but worry: Does my dress still fit? Are my undergarments decent enough, or will I look like I’m wearing a medieval contraption?
Tina Fey recently highlighted this struggle during her farewell appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. As she bid goodbye to Dave, he complimented her, saying, “Forgive me if this sounds indelicate, but you look absolutely stunning.” He even likened her dress to something Kate Middleton might wear.
While it’s lovely that he appreciated her style, Tina had a revelation: this would be her final time donning a fancy dress for a talk show. “What am I gonna do, show up in a dress for Jimmy? That would be awkward, he’s like my brother,” she quipped. “Next time you see me, I’ll be playing charades in a slanket.”
She elaborated on the challenges of getting into such an outfit. “I don’t know if you’re aware of the contraptions involved,” she shared. “It feels almost medical.”
In a bold statement about abandoning gender norms, she declared, “Since this is my last time wearing a fancy dress on a talk show, my parting gift to you is this dress.” And just like that, she stripped it off, revealing Spanx emblazoned with “Goodbye Dave” on the front and “#LastDressEver” on the back.
Isn’t this yet another reason to adore Tina Fey? She has a knack for making stripping and Spanx hilarious!
