Go, Rachel!

My friend Rachel, whose last most important gig was hanging pictures in my hallway at my housewarming party, is an Emmy nominee this year for her brilliant work for Justin Timberlake when he hosted the ESPY’s. If you saw that gig, then you know that the opening number (“I Love Sports”) was an extravaganza of Broadway proportions (clip below), with a cast of hundreds. Rachel, with a writing team, wrote those lyrics, and created the bits that Timberlake performed with such gusto (he was awesome).

I remember sitting on the sea wall last year with Mitchell and Rachel, hearing all of her crazy awesome stories about that entire experience.

Now she’s got an Emmy nomination.

I couldn’t be more psyched and happy for her.

GO, RACHEL.

    That is awesome! I hope she wins! Go Rachel, author of my favorite line ever: “See when someone says to me, ‘Did you get your hair cut?’, I hear, ‘You have fat thighs.'”

    There are so many favorite Rachel lines for me but this one is quite appropriate:

    When I commented on how amazing her ta tas looked at the academy awards she replied, “Yes, I took my golden globes to the oscars.”
