The inaugural Spinster of the Month is fictional character Liz Lemon of NBC's 30 Rock (played by Tina Fey at left). Liz has placed an empahasis on her career as headwriter on a Saturday Night Live-esque television show and as a result her personal life frequently suffers. At the end of the last season she broke up with her boyfriend Floyd after he forced her to choose between her career and moving with him to Cleveland. Prior to that she was in a longterm relationship which she broke off after seeing him caught on "To Catch a Predator." Liz's favorite vacation spot encourages a beach custom of wearing socks with sandals. She's a bit too friendly with her boss Jack Doneghy. Liz is the spinster of the month because unlike many single women (Sex & the City girls I love you, but I'm talking to you) on television, she makes me feel better about my life. In many ways I can relate to Liz. My romantic relationships (especially of late) often leave me feeling a bit irksome, but like Liz I keep on moving. And like Liz, I'm not afraid to rock my glasses with a pair of four inch heels. So, Liz Lemon, this month I salute you for setting the bar for single women on television just close enough for the rest of us.

oops, deleted last comment because I put it on the wrong post!!
Anyway, I LOVE me some Liz Lemon! She's one of the only real woman characters on television. Love her.
That photo just turned me 100% gay. Seriously, I have no interest in men whatsoever now. I hope Tina will help defray the cost of divorce. LOL. I *lurve* me some Fey!
