Thoughts on Beesley…
I received quite the compliment…
I have been likened to Pam on The Office.
The first, and most surface, reason I am relishing this is my undying love for The Office. Let’s face it. The show is brilliant on all levels.
Another reason I have enjoyed this is that Pam is real. (Now, I do know television is fiction… despite several years of therapy which would say otherwise… 
) What I mean by this is that Pam is the everyday girl next door. Fact - Not all women are going to grow up to be 5′9″, bleach blonde, triple D goddesses. It’s nice to see such a spot-on portrayal of a funny, smart, everyday girl in action… and getting the guy.
Don’t take this as a rant on the portrayal of women in media. It’s not that at all. More of a personal social observation, if anything.
That said, I am now off to lose hours of my life to an America’s Next Top Model marathon.
I’ve now set Elizabeth Cady Stanton rolling in her grave.
Jen, you totally hit the nail on the head in regards to why so many people have taken a liking to Pam. I think Pam is the girl a lot of guys are actually looking for even if the media would like us think otherwise. Lets face it, who really wants the 5′9″, bleach blonde, triple D goodness if there is no personality, sense of humor and general feeling of warmth and caring.
Pam not only represents the girl next door, she represents an attractive down-to-earth girl that many guys feel they can trust. The writers of The Office were very well advised when they wrote in the Jim + Pam element into the storyline of that show. They both represent real people in real situations to which many people can relate. I think that is why we always find ourselves rooting for them week after week. The show would not be the same without them and they know it.
Oh, and you really need to find a way to get the audio of you saying “Good morning, Dunder Mifflin this is Pam” to put with this post
