Ladies from "GIRLS" <3

Lena Dunham for V Magazine

some quotes from Lena's interview:
- “It was this cheesy thing where they listed the prices people bought homes for,” Dunham recalls. “And it said something like, ‘Nicole Richie 5.3 million dollars, Lena Dunham 430 thousand dollars.’ It was my proudest New York real estate moment.”
- about the onslaught of free clothes that has recently arrived: “I cannot deny it, and I cannot get over it,” she says. “And they actually send them in my size. No one’s being an asshole and sending them to me in a 4. They’re sending me clothes, they fit, and what people should know is that I always wear them. Somehow even if I wouldn’t have bought it, the fact that it was free and my grandma’s depression-era mentality make me think it is the most beautiful thing I ever owned, and I wear it for several days straight.”
- about her recent trip she took to India with mom: “I hated India. I know you’re not allowed to hate India. But I did. I wasn’t happy. And I felt crazy. I’m a hypochondriac. I saw too many puppies that I thought needed me. So my mom and I got in a big fight and I left India. Early.”
- “I think we can all agree with the idea that the beautiful girls that get all the boys get written about. They don’t usually write.”

Zosia Mamet for NY Times

quotes from Zosia's interview/article:
- “I have a ship’s bed,” she said, “which totally plays to my obsession of, if I were not an actress, I would be a pirate.”
- “People call me Shoshanna all the time,” Mamet said. “They don’t necessarily even know my real name!” For example, she recalls this one young woman who stopped her on the street and “she was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m in love with you!’ And she grabbed me and made my friend who I was with take a picture of us.” But just a photo with Mamet wasn’t enough. “She smacks me on the shoulder, and she was like, ‘Pretend like you love me!’ ”
- Despite having been raised around actors and the theater — her mother is the actress Lindsay Crouse and her father is the playwright David Mamet — she has always been a very private person, from a private family, who is used to protecting her personal space.
- Mamet, whose first name is pronounced ZAH-shah (“Like Sasha with a Z”), lived in New England until she was 5.
- These days, in addition to people wanting to say hi and pose for photos with her, Mamet is finding a lot of strangers suddenly want to tell her about their sex lives too. Like that woman who had smacked her, who also said: “I love your show so much. My boyfriend and I watch it together every week, and every time afterward we have sex. So thank you.” “I was thinking, ‘First of all, if that’s the only reason you and your boyfriend have sex, we need to talk about that,’ ” she says. “I get a lot of very in-depth relationship stuff that will come out. Like when I did the episode about the time that I try and lose my virginity.” This reminded me of the one intrusive question I longed to ask her about this particularly delicate sex scene, which required what seemed like total nudity. She answered it for me: “I had a nude cover on, which is basically a Band-Aid that sticks right here and ends right at the top of here,” pointing pretty much to where you would expect. Emboldened, I also asked her if she was naked running down the street in that crack-smoking episode. She wasn’t. (She wore underwear and pantyhose.) But I’m apparently not alone in my curiosity. “I’ve had people stop me on the street and be like, ‘I have to know, were you naked?’ ”

I hatelove this show so much.
I'm excited for season 2.
rocknrollroots 4th-Jan-2013 06:37 pm (UTC)
same! I love all the girls but Lena is annoying...
joyeuxcherie 4th-Jan-2013 05:08 pm (UTC)
Is there a POC on this show?
superpchan 4th-Jan-2013 05:09 pm (UTC)
Not as a regular, at least in the first season.
fionaapple 4th-Jan-2013 05:09 pm (UTC)
No, but Lena has said she'll address the issue which lbr we all know means "put some black and Hispanic girls in the background, maybe give them a line or two then forget about them later in the season"
joyeuxcherie 4th-Jan-2013 05:12 pm (UTC)
That is probably exactly what's going to happen.
I wonder if they will come from Harlem & the Bronx.

beatlesluv 4th-Jan-2013 05:26 pm (UTC)
Bingo tbh. SMH so tired of that bullshit.
nicolesnitchie 5th-Jan-2013 05:20 am (UTC)
it'll be a sassy black or hispanic frand from the bronx
pastelward 4th-Jan-2013 05:15 pm (UTC)
donald glover is in the 2nd season, idk how big his role is tho
beatlesluv 4th-Jan-2013 05:28 pm (UTC)
What's a POC in Lena's world?
preflyer 4th-Jan-2013 05:34 pm (UTC)
hahahahah the irony of this comment is making me lol so hard. you never been in a girls post before bb???
soba_kasu 4th-Jan-2013 06:24 pm (UTC)
so why, when portraying a group of girlfriends does there necessarily HAVE to be a POC in their group of friends. why is it so racist that there are four female friends that all happen to be white. at least its not like some shows where they have some phony united colours of benneton friendship. look at Friends, look at Seinfeld, nobody ever said that stuff about them and they were worse tbh.
lacefrontdealer 4th-Jan-2013 06:26 pm (UTC)
Donald Glover will be in season 2. Here is what will happen:

The black and lovable guy will fuck the ugliest and/or fattest cast member (Hannah). They will amicably go their part ways in a quirky non/threatening manner. Thus, the brown people problem is solved for at least one season.

Sex and the city already did it with Miranda (black doctor/"ugliest" cast member).

dutsukyampu 5th-Jan-2013 03:21 am (UTC)
will you get me a smart water, and a vitamin water, and a luna bar?
ljubavirakija 4th-Jan-2013 05:08 pm (UTC)
I need to finish season 1.

Did it get better as the season progressed?
superpchan 4th-Jan-2013 05:10 pm (UTC)
I enjoyed the second half more than the first. Or rather, I liked the party episodes (episodes 7 & 10). And I thought the "fight" episode was amusing.
fionaapple 4th-Jan-2013 05:11 pm (UTC)
I think so. Everyone calls Hannah out on her bullshit and it's amazing and glorious.
ectypes 4th-Jan-2013 05:14 pm (UTC)
yes. it gets good around ep 5, then crappy again when hannah goes home for an ep, then good again until the last ep.
mistress_f 4th-Jan-2013 05:17 pm (UTC)
the home episode was absolutely the worst
evett 4th-Jan-2013 05:19 pm (UTC)
it got better with each episode.
funkybaby 4th-Jan-2013 05:53 pm (UTC)
yup!
flumes 4th-Jan-2013 08:49 pm (UTC)
no
distant_lines 4th-Jan-2013 05:08 pm (UTC)
“I hated India. I know you’re not allowed to hate India. But I did. I wasn’t happy. And I felt crazy. I’m a hypochondriac. I saw too many puppies that I thought needed me. So my mom and I got in a big fight and I left India. Early.”

This makes me sick. You're allowed to not necessarily like places that you travel, but at least have the humility and decency to see the beauty in it. So many people would love to be able to go to India, and bitch just left early.
ladysherlock 4th-Jan-2013 05:18 pm (UTC)
I was rme at this whole sentence. Can she get through one whole interview without saying something that just smacks of privilege?
distant_lines 4th-Jan-2013 05:26 pm (UTC)
Seriously. Like, I get wanting to go home early if you're sick. I have been in Costa Rica this week and wanted to leave with my sister and brother-in-law cause I am sick, but there weren't any seats on the plane for me to switch my flight. So, I stayed, found a doctor, sucked it up, and am still trying to be out and doing things. It's called experiencing things. She obviously knows nothing about it.
zharia 4th-Jan-2013 05:24 pm (UTC)
seriously what the fuck is this. "I'm a hypochondriac," wtf does she mean by this? Not only do I doubt her legitimately being an actual hypochondriac but it totally comes off as her saying "omg it was way too dirty and gross for my lily white ass to handle." NHF her bullshit.
the_pinkdress 4th-Jan-2013 05:27 pm (UTC)
I see what you're saying, but on the other hand, I think when a lot of North Americans go travelling overseas they tend to overexaggerate how ~amazing~ and ~beautiful~ everything was, and I find it refreshing when people are like, "Yeah I didn't enjoy my time in ___". There are a lot of misconceptions and waaay high expectations with first time travellers when they go to, say, Paris, and find they don't click with the city. We don't need to put other countries on some mystical pedestal of perfection; I appreciate some realism.

Also, I know women who have travelled to India and felt so harassed and threatened that they couldn't enjoy their time. I don't say this in a "Everyone be scared of India b/c it's the only place /w/ sexual assault", but the physical threats are a problem.
metyouwho 4th-Jan-2013 05:31 pm (UTC)
This is such an shitty comment to me. Why wouldn't you learn about India before going and prepare for your trip? Like, bring some damn hand santizer and suck it up, explore. Learn to adjust to situations Lena!!
teenageriot16 4th-Jan-2013 06:01 pm (UTC)
That statement reeks of classism too.
cickiz 4th-Jan-2013 06:47 pm (UTC)
"I know you're not allowed to hate India" what a fucking raging bitch.
anydoppelganger 6th-Jan-2013 12:42 am (UTC)
lol @ her feeling bad for the stray dogs who have probably been strays for generations and probably don't need humans to make them happy. Maybe she should reserve her energy for feeling sorry for people --you know, like the homeless.
factorywannabe 4th-Jan-2013 05:10 pm (UTC)
I want a Shoshanna spinoff so bad.
stylista_11 4th-Jan-2013 05:10 pm (UTC)
None of these chicks even seem likeable, especially that first one.
stuffwithcandy 4th-Jan-2013 05:21 pm (UTC)
the most likable character isn't in this post so you're right
cluelessraf 4th-Jan-2013 05:23 pm (UTC)
I feel like Shoshanna is the most likable, sure she's annoying but she's the least pretentious, imo.
jack_rowen 4th-Jan-2013 05:11 pm (UTC)
i just couldn't get into this show

they all annoyed me
burn_a_miracle 4th-Jan-2013 05:12 pm (UTC)
Lena looks cute in the first picture.
_keng_ 4th-Jan-2013 05:21 pm (UTC)
I came in to say this
tebtosca 4th-Jan-2013 05:39 pm (UTC)
Scrolled fast and thought it was Lena in your icon
ectypes 4th-Jan-2013 05:13 pm (UTC)
just re-watched season 1 yesterday bc i was sick in bed. wasn't as awesome as i remember, but i had just watched brooklyn boheme about 15 minutes earlier and was like OH. i wonder what spike lee thinks about this show? lol
minderbinder 4th-Jan-2013 05:14 pm (UTC)
Lol irl, I would really love to know this now too. Although tbh, I'm sure he probably has the same thoughts about SATC (even though imo they aren't really that comparable).

ectypes 4th-Jan-2013 05:20 pm (UTC)
seeing that doc and actually educating myself a bit on the history of brooklyn makes it even MORE ridiculous that there aren't any POC on the show. like, i'm by no means an expert on the history of it, but even w/ my minimal knowledge just... wow.
la_petite_singe 4th-Jan-2013 05:15 pm (UTC)
What is that tattoo?
anydoppelganger 6th-Jan-2013 01:12 am (UTC)
On Lena? I think it's Ferdinand the bull
minderbinder 4th-Jan-2013 05:15 pm (UTC)
Zosia is really the only reason to watch this show.
tackyblue 4th-Jan-2013 05:23 pm (UTC)
I love her.
goofusgallant 4th-Jan-2013 05:58 pm (UTC)
ia
flumes 4th-Jan-2013 08:53 pm (UTC)
how? she's a horrible actress
minderbinder 5th-Jan-2013 05:17 am (UTC)
Meh, I like her on this show and I really like her as Sho. Imo, she's the only "Girl" who's actually entertaining.
snark_ranger 4th-Jan-2013 05:15 pm (UTC)
This is first picture of Lena that I have seen that she actually looks mildly attractive. Usually looks like she shit her pants.
champagnexdream 4th-Jan-2013 05:22 pm (UTC)
MTE.
pastelward 4th-Jan-2013 05:16 pm (UTC)
allison williams is really pretty in a young senator's wife kind of way
misoras 4th-Jan-2013 06:00 pm (UTC)
lol i just called her a "receptionist for a financial firm in central ldn" but yeah ia
egalitarianmuse 4th-Jan-2013 06:40 pm (UTC)
I see a dark-haired Diane Kruger and I see her the same way.
xlightningboltx 4th-Jan-2013 07:13 pm (UTC)
haha yesss
fabouluz 4th-Jan-2013 05:17 pm (UTC)
Zosia Manet is the best. So much photoshop on Lena tho.
sassandthecity 4th-Jan-2013 05:17 pm (UTC)
I have to say seeing Zosia on both this and Mad Men gives me an appreciation of what she's capable of.
mistress_f 4th-Jan-2013 05:19 pm (UTC)
she was also in the united states of tara, and she was really good in it.
i also lol at the fact that in the past few years she's played a large variety of differently aged characters. like she can go from high school to journalist in her mid twenties and still be belieavable
superpchan 4th-Jan-2013 05:20 pm (UTC)
I used to have an irrational dislike of her after her crazy character on United States of Tara.
hearthecity 4th-Jan-2013 05:22 pm (UTC)
she's fantastic
thelovehater 4th-Jan-2013 05:33 pm (UTC)
She's really quite talented.
funkybaby 4th-Jan-2013 05:59 pm (UTC)
RIGHT? she's amazing.
lordfoldemort 4th-Jan-2013 06:10 pm (UTC)
I didn't think she was that good on Mad Men, but yeah she has a lot of range.
