My New Girl Hero: Sarah Haskins

Wow! I love this woman. Sarah, thank you for being a voice for so many of us who just get to roll our eyes when we see the ridiculous commercials aimed at women. For example:

Sarah’s got a very effective form of soft feminism that mocks the female stereotypes portrayed by advertisers, in a compelling and just perfectly right humorous manner. OK, oftentimes LOL hilarious. Here’s one of her “Target Women” clips that covers pretty much every cliché about women: can’t be single, has to be saved by a man, wants to be married…

Or this one about the trials and tribulations and hidden but unadulterated joys of cleaning:

Sarah, thanks for putting your finger right on the juicy center of it all (and having such a grand ol’ time doing it) . Advertisers, take note.

There’s not much info about Sarah Haskins out there, but the Facebook Fan Page mentions this: Sarah is a writer and performer for Current’s infoMania where, in addition to her role as the “Target Women” correspondent, she is an important member of the office crossword team, the fax machine enthusiast society, and is the creator of the chicken nugget-english muffin-cream cheese and mustard morning sandwich. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. Sarah hails from Chicago, IL where she performed improv and sketch comedy at i.O. Chicago and with the Second City National Touring Company.

Go here to view all her video clips on Current TV. So, you want to see the one called “Story Time”, the “Barbie” one, and then the “Chocolate” one… Love ‘em. Love Sarah.
