Is it just me?

[Wait Wut]

Let me start by saying that I'm a woman.

I had a conversation with my husband not too long ago about female comediennes. Why is it I don't realize how attractive (or downright gorgeous) they are until I see them out of their element (like in a hair dye commercial)?

I've noticed this mostly with Saturday Night Live women. It took me years to realize that Tina Fey was freakin' beautiful. I'd name more, but I'm horrible with names and will only remember them when I see their pictures.

To make it more 'interesting', I don't do this with male comedians. If a male is attractive, I see it right away. Do guys do this, but reversed? Am I a bigot? Sexist? A horrible person?

1. Amy Schumer usually looks like someone from a hair dye commercial

A lot of the press who reported on the event and were invited say with resounding agreement that Amy Schumer’s speech was the most intense and thought-provoking. After talking about her experiences with boys in college, she goes on to talk more about body image and how important it is to a woman. How words can affect a woman so deeply it will affect the rest of her life, for good or bad.

“I was not what the guys wanted. They wanted thinner, blonder, dumber” she laments about her school days. Her self esteem wasn’t helped by her intelligence or jokes either: “My wit and charisma didn’t mean sh*t”.

During her performance Schumer mentioned how a single comment can do so much damage to a woman’s self esteem even if they are the ‘strong confident type’. Despite the fact that she “feels beautiful and strong, when a DJ recently asked if she’d gained weight and when Men’s Health magazine used a photo of a teenage model instead of a photo of her next to an article she had penned, that confidence evaporated.

2. Commercial makeup and styling is a lot different than SNL makeup and styling

Not to say they aren't already attractive though.

But, no it's you it's the production: makeup, styling, lighting, filters, edit filters, music. The whole bit
