The Womance of Amy Poehler and Tina Fey

Feyler: A Love Story for the ages.
Vickie Toro Created by  Vickie Toro  

It was announced this week that Everyone's Favorite Womance Couple are teaming up, once again, to host the Golden Globes. Given we haven't seen them on screen together since the days of Baby Mama and Sarah Palin's Campaign of Terror, the excitement and reprisal of our unconditional lady-crushes are impossible to ignore, and there's no doubt we're all preparing for the magical night with Parks and Rec and 30 Rock marathons, and borderline inappropriate gigglesnort-wet-dreams.

From a lesbian's perspective, Feyler have the ideal lady-lady relationship we can all learn plenty from. So here are just a few of the reasons the Feyler womance is so beautiful:

1. Magnetism

Opposites attract, and the irreverent Leslie Knopesque optimism is just the thing a more cynical Liz Lemon needs. From their days of Clintoning and Palining up our TV screens, as well as the dulcet tones of Amy-lovin' in Fey's Bossypants, the bespectacled half of this pair has a deep appreciation for Poehler's no-BS attitude.

[Also, was I the only one crossing her lesbian fingers for a lesbian twist in Baby Mama? ...Their chemistry burned up the screen and my heart. Don't hate.]

2. Communication

Whenever photos of them hanging out with their kids randomly crop up on my computer [after I Google 'Amy Poehler Tina Fey Babies'], every fiber of my being sings out fan-fiction-esque odes in affectionate envy and wishful thinking. The way these badass comediennes stay so close even after their SNL heydays gives me hope for all my straight-lady-friendships. Sometimes I really think I'm okay with not having a girlfriend, as long as I have a platonic spooning buddy. And it's all thanks to them.

3. Trust

On top of the bond they clearly share, by constantly finding ways to work with one another, Poehler was once quoted as saying, "Boy or girl -- I just really hope my kid grows up to marry Alice Richmond." There's a lot of trust there. That's like saying, "I trust Tina Fey all the way down to her genes. With the upbringing Alice is going to have, she's going to be a catch someday, and I want my descendents ridden with Tina DNA."

4. Mystery

These days it's hard to pinpoint a famous couple who aren't daily eyesores. The Kardashians, Ryan Reynolds/His Wife of the Moment, Brittana... they don't really leave much for the imagination. The Feyler dynamic is one wrought with reasonability; they're open about their relationship, and sometimes dish on playdates, but fans the world over must [and probably do] paint their own pretty pictures of what goes on behind closed doors. What comedic genius are they working on now? How do they hug each other? Do they share spoons when downing shared ice cream? Do they prefer ice cream to frozen yogurt? It seems the most balanced kinds of celebrity relationships are the ones that leave the serious lovin' off-camera.
