quote of the day (September 30, 2008)

We know that we here at QOTD probably skew male with our postings. Too many sports quotes. Not enough HGTV (or whatever it is you ladies are watching these days). But today, just to prove that we're unafraid of getting in touch with our feminine side, we've got a quote for you from The Devil Wears Prada, where main character Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is having a conversation with her co-worker, Emily (Emily Blunt):

Emily: "Andrea, my God! You look so chic."

Andy: "Oh, thanks. You look so thin."

Emily: "Really? It's for Paris, I'm on this new diet. Well, I don't eat anything and when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese. I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight."

Of course, our motive for quoting that movie MIGHT have been so we could show this picture of the lovely Anne Hathaway, QOTD's favorite female-type celebrity (until any of QOTD's lady readers become famous, because you are, quite frankly, stunning in that outfit!):



And, another show the ladies love is HBO's late, lamented Sex & the City - here's a quote from Season 5:

"People go to casinos for the same reason they go on blind dates: hoping to hit the jackpot. But mostly, you just wind up broke or alone in a bar."
--Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) in a voiceover commentary


Though today's post was meant for the ladies, we don't want to scare off the male viewers with pictures of Parker or Kim Catrall (Samantha). Instead, we'll just run with another picture of Ms. Hathaway (who is on Letterman this evening, in case you were wondering):
