This actress provides examples of:

 * Beauty Inversion: Sedaris wanted to avert Hollywood Homely for her character in Strangers With Candy, so she made the character into The Grotesque.
 * Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: Averted- Even though she's one of the best living arguments against the whole "Women can't be funny or strong" claim, she's often seen dressed like a Fairy Princess Homemaker.
 * Refuge in Audacity: If you've seen her show, you know what we're talking about.
 * Sesame Street Cred
