It's a happy birthday to The Office's Jenna Fischer, who turns 34 today, and probably doesn't celebrate by watching Lollilove. It seems a bit dismissive to call a grown women cute, but that's the nut of her appeal, since Fischer so robustly embodies the wry-perky-cool high school girl for whom guys wistfully pine when they hit their late 20s or 30s. Women may not like to hear it, but it's the truth. Having tried in vain to hip-pocket said girl while chasing hotter (read: looser) tail in their oat-sowing days, and then subsequently having fallen out of touch with her after college, a lot of men will try to work their way back to this ideal, in either idealized or actual form — women with high-but-not-off-the-charts marks in relatability, intelligence, humor and attractiveness, and super-low maintenance requirements. Settle for the highest aggregate score, in other words. That's Fischer. Of course, shots of her rocking out in lingerie in Blades of Glory don't hurt, either. For some of that, click here.
