Girl crush: Kate Walsh as Addison Montgomery (not Shepherd)

In Grey's Anatomy
Enough about Grey's Anatomy as a vice. I know that's all I talk about: I hate Grey's Anatomy, but I still watch it, blah, blah, Project Runway, blah, Gyllenhaal.
Last week's episode kind of had some actually good moments: Christina's dead parent club bit and George's flip-out at Bailey and Webber come to mind. Furthermore, I've found a character I have yet to be annoyed to death: Addison.
First of all, her storylines seem more grown up. The whole McDreamy situation just reeked of Clearasil — infatuations straight out of junior high. It was tiring and required patience to actually get past it. Addison's plots are usually about something real. They're about screwing up your life and not adjusting terribly well. She's a flawed character, but she's not loudly self-pitying (Izzie, I'm looking at you) and rarely does she merit the eye-rolling that Meredith, Christina, etc. deserve on a regular basis.
What really drove it home for me this past episode was when she called out McSteamy on the fact that he'd be a terrible father. That whole speech was pretty gutting — an adjective I would rarely use about Grey's.
Also, for my money she's the hottest female doc on the show. I full embrace the Alex relationship, as I see her as the only woman on the cast capable of taming him (well, aside from Bailey, but she's off the market).
Oh, and a doff of the cap and a shake of the fist to Liz for scooping me on the Addison love.
I agree – Kate Walsh is one the only person on the show that hasn’t completely enraged me at one point or another. And God, is she gorgeous.
I’m a big fan (of hers, not of the show’s. jeez), especially since I noticed she has my glasses. I’m sort of insanely proprietary about my glasses (note my posting icon), and am glad to welcome another awesome lady into the glasses club. It is totally killing me that I can’t find a picture of her wearing these glasses. These are mine: http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfp/Kate_Spade-tcogmi/r.html
She has very similar (probably much more expensive) ones, but with the same white on the inside.
Am I too involved with people and their glasses? Of course. Don’t even get me started on Tina Fey, the glasses that started it all. Love Tina. And her glasses.
[...] My recent TiFaux stuff: J.P. from Survivor is a gay, I love Kate Walsh, and live-blogging the Golden Globes. [...]
I really like her glasses, I want to know what brand they are!
hott damm! kate walsh!
Speaking of girl crushes and Addie, does anyone else think it’s time for her to explore her sapphic side? Enough with the McMen already!
I would really like to know what brand her glasses are too! If there is anyone out there who knows, please please let us know!
thanks
p.s. there is a pix of her with her glasses on on tv.com
[...] So this is what I’ve got for you on the day’s events in NOLA: Nagin makes a power grab, HUD is Public Enemy #1, and activist-residents “[heckled]” their pro-demolition neighbors. I’m sorry I missed it. Not least because it would have been much more fulfilling than this nonsense. (And here’s an embarrassed confession: I spent so much time today carrying on about the trials and tribulations of NOLA I missed perhaps one of the day’s most important announcements! Fair enough – if GA is going to Jump the Shark, Shonda et al. might as well make a soft landing in a new series featuring the ever luscious and endearing Kate Walsh. Yes, I confess, I have a girl crush. And I’m not alone.)
