TYRA!!! Oh I love love love this vid. She was one of my faaaaavorites (second only to Tami) on FNL. I love how you capture the tension of Tyra always being somehow both outside Dillon and yet completely shaped by it as well. I also love this idea that "to four lips, none of which were mine, kissing" applies not only literally, when she is cheated on, but also in the way that her peers can find belonging in Dillon in a way that she doesn't want or can't have.

I also love the way you vid her perspective by cutting from her watching to what and who she's watching? it's super effective.

but now for the super flails -- OMGSSSS TAMI UNDERSTANDS HOW SHE FEELS JUST BECAUSE SHE'S THERE AND SHE'S REAL AND TAMI AND TYRA IS THE BESSSSSTTTTTTTTT. I could rewatch this a zillion times just for how you capture their relationship <333

p.s. when it comes to Ani DiFranco, I just ~cannot~ for so many reasons, but you make it work so effortlessly here!
