03.23.09 DIABLO CODY HAS A ‘FEMPIRE’
Birthday Dog looks at the camera because Birthday Dog is a f*cking professional.
Over the weekend, the NY Times ran a feature on “The Fempire,” accompanied by the headline “An Entourage of their own.” The group of Hollywood power womyn in questions? Why, Diablo Cody and three chicks you’ve never heard of, of course.
Lorene Scafaria [who co-wrote Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist] and Diablo Cody are usually not a duo, but half of a quartet. With their pals Dana Fox, who wrote “What Happens in Vegas,” and Liz Meriwether, a playwright-turned-screenwriter, they make up a Hollywood powerhouse writing posse who call themselves “The Fempire.”
The Fempire’s solid front — all four wear the same gold necklaces with tiny heart pendants inscribed with words that can’t be printed here, gifts from Ms. Cody — seems to make some men nervous and envious at the same time.
You can find them at work in their Laurel Canyon homes in their pajamas, or sitting next to one another at laptop-friendly restaurants. To see them gathered amid the dinosaur topiary around Ms. Fox’s swimming pool with their dogs (they all have dogs) is to see four distinct styles of glamour that bear little resemblance to traditional images of behind-the-scenes talent.
…
Don’t even try to credit their bankability to their looks. “When you read a screenplay, it doesn’t come with a picture on the cover,” said Adam Siegel, president of Marc Platt Productions, a producer who is friends with all four women.
The totally not-condescending article then goes on to compare them to Entourage and the Apatow posse, and it’s all very empowering, because it communicates the message that girls can indeed do many of the things boys can do. *Spice girls pose*

DIABLO CODY HAS A ‘FEMPIRE’
I never thought I’d see the day where I would utter these words.
I wouldn’t watch these women fuck each other.
I read “fempire” and my dick threw up.
Apparently Fempires can’t see themselves in the mirror either.
I’d watch Birthday Dog have his way with the hot one. You know, the one that looks like a chihuahua.
Fempires are women who suck, right?
Entourage stars four douche bags, this “posse” has four douche bags.
This is exactly what Queensryche was trying to warn us about.
The bad news: The Fempire is more powerful than you realize.
The good news: death by snu-snu.
Donk - +189234 for the Queensryche reference.
You and my AK47 are my best friends.
Adam Siegel will say anything to get laid.
What’s the over/under on how many of them have stuck Diablo’s Oscar in their canals?
girls can indeed do many of the things boys can do.
I bet they can’t suck dick as well as the boys from Entourage.
They swap their dogs every weekend to see which one licks peanut butter the best.
“Don’t even try to credit their bankability to their looks.”
Especially the one that looks like Dana Carvey in drag.
After their periods synched up, their assistants started refering to them as, “The 16 lips and 5 days of hell.”
Girls everywhere should definitely think about femploying their tactics to femulate their success. Just know, you can write good stuff without trying to femasculate men. You drive off all the guys and it will leave your lives hollow and fempty.

This Fempire has about as much clout as Napoleon on Elba
New York magazine said the inscriptions on the necklaces say “Fuck My Face”
Good to know they all remember how they made it in this industry.
The Queensryche ref was good, but pulling snu-snu out of his ass was batter.
New York magazine said the inscriptions on the necklaces say “Fuck My Face”
Their matching braclets finish the phrase:
“… is ugly”
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK eeeeeeee
Bet they buy Activia by the case.

They should team up and write a script about making me a sandwich…Right now, bitch.
The Fempire thrives on Ben and Jerry’s and The Smiths on vinyl.
and strap-ons
