    “It’s not that these girls are better than the girls who preceded them. They’re luckier. They came along at a time when the boys allowed them to do this. In comedy, timing is everything.” - humorist Fran Lebowitz

    “Who Says Women Aren’t Funny?” - a great read from Vanity Fair on the past, present, and future crop of women writing and performing comedy - seeing evolving demands and valuations teeter-totter between sex appeal and talent (via Goldenfiddle). For the piece in the April issue, Annie Leibovitz shot Susie Essman, Amy Sedaris, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey (all pictured), Jenna Fischer, Chelsea Handler, Leslie Mann, Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes, and Sandra Bernhard (links for brief interviews of each).
