Connie Britton at the “Women of American Horror Story” Event

Connie remains at the top of our list entitled Celebrities We Want to Have Coffee With And Gab About Shit for Hours. She just seems like she’d be always game for it, you know? Part of it comes down to her red carpet style, which can be very “real world.” And we mean that in the most condescending way possible. No, really. It’s been a while since either of us held down cubicle real estate in Corporate America, but every office we ever worked in (and we worked in a LOT back in the day) had someone who dressed in this outfit:

And that someone would inevitably wind up being our best office gal pal, because we’d saunter over to her desk early in the day and say “Honey, I love you, but we talked about booties in the office and visible zippers over the crotch. Let’s make a note of it for next time, hmm? Anyway, I’m going to Dunkin Donuts. Want anything?” And then we’d leave the office and go have adventures for 45 minutes.

It’s really the only thing we miss about Corporate America. The many wonderful ways of slacking off and the bonds you forge with those fellow employees who are just as committed to it as you are. And it all pays off the one workday when you get news your childhood dog died and one of these foxhole buddies gives you the keys to an unused office and says “Go cry. I’ll cover for you.”

Theoretically. We’re just spinning tales here.
