With this blog, I want to thank some women that I think really changed the game in some way shape or form!
Joan Rivers is someone that might be controversial to put on this list. A lot of people criticize her for focusing on what women were wearing and judging them on that rather than asking them "important" questions... I seem to remember her often talking to women quite a bit and she definitely asked them more than just the iconic "Who are you wearing?" She was the fashion reporter for the red carpet... so of corse she was going to focus on the fashion aspect of the award ceremony! I'm not really sure what people were expecting from that.
Joan rivers was actually the first woman to host a late-night talk show on a major network. I don't think her show lasted long... but a few years later she had a daytime show that won her a Daytime Emmy. Rivers was definitely one of the funniest comedians at a time when there weren't a lot of women comedians. Even right before her passing she was going to perform stand up in Red Bank, New Jersey. That is a long time to work and that in itself is definitely something to look up to.
One of the things I miss most about Joan Rivers is the relationship that she had with her daughter Melissa. It is rare to see a mother and daughter duo working together and getting along with such a strong relationship. Melissa was really everything to Joan... and I think Joan was everything to Melissa as well. There aren't many mother and daughter relationships in Hollywood that are so strong... and its the thing that hit me the hardest when Joan Rivers passed away. I still really do miss seeing the two of them together on The Red Carpet.
Thank you, Joan Rivers! You are an awesome lady. I will definitely think of you if I ever start writing comedy or do standup or if I ever become a mother. I don't think I'd be a Hollywood Mother... but you never know. Lol. The red carpet is not the same without you!
Thank you!
