Lena Dunham: I Wouldn't Want a Victoria's Secret Body



Lena Dunham prefers to look like one of the ordinary girls.

The HBO series creator and star, 26, says, "There would be all kinds of weird challenges to deal with" if she had the body of a Victoria's Secret model.

"I don't think I'd like it very much," she tells Playboy in its April issue.

"I don't want to go through life wondering if people are talking to me because I have a big rack. Not being the babest person in the world creates a nice barrier."

But having the perfect figure does have its perks, she says, explaining, "That said, I probably would want to see if I could get free food at restaurants. Then I'd call a doctor and see if she could return me to my former situation."


Dunham, who has been dating the band fun.'s lead guitarist, Jack Antonoff, since last year, also says her taste in men has changed over the years.

"When I was younger, I liked men who gave me some guff," she says. "Now I'm much more into someone who is interesting and open with his emotions, has a really good sense of humor and a passion for what he does, wants to hang out with my parents and doesn't want to stay out too late."

Adds the actress, "If I can get excited imagining funny things he did as a kid, there's a pretty good chance I'm in love with him."

if she had a tumblr, she'd claim she's not like "the other girls" and reblog those photosets of marilyn monroe and victoria's secret models that say "WHEN DID THIS BECOME MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THIS?"
goddlesssinner 14th-Mar-2013 04:56 pm (UTC)

i'm not a lena fan in the slightest but girl is not rolling in the fat. she's got a heavier pear shape but she's in pretty decent shape.
oumeoumai 14th-Mar-2013 08:58 pm (UTC)
Decent shape? No. But she's not grotesque. I'd say a little larger than normal.
sunktheglow 14th-Mar-2013 05:34 pm (UTC)
I get that she's insufferable, so why not call her that instead of body-shaming her for fuck's sake?

Eh, if she had just said that she appreciated her own body it would be cool, but I have no idea what she's blathering on about (using her model body to get free food? What?).
devourlove 14th-Mar-2013 05:03 pm (UTC)
yeah that's where i'm torn
lolli_leigh 14th-Mar-2013 05:11 pm (UTC)
she's being a typical tumblr-style hater posing as someone who wants to "empower women and rid the world of thin beauty standards" but it's transparent, insecure, offensive bullshit. especially considering some people naturally have big boobs and are thin at the same time... just cause it's considered attractive doesn't mean it should be ok to mock or scorn.

beatlesluv 14th-Mar-2013 05:15 pm (UTC)
Seriously is it a crime now to be fit? She needs to STFU, she spends so much time putting her fucking two-cents in on everything, and not enough time actually gaining more of an understanding of the world around her. And she's a writer...it's fucking embarrassing.
theactualworst 14th-Mar-2013 05:17 pm (UTC)
Yeah, that's the part that ticked me off.
classiqfemme 14th-Mar-2013 05:01 pm (UTC)
lol, I don't think anyone would call VS models the norm. She's not even calling for body acceptance or w/e in this, she's just putting down a group of women with a very specific body type to boost her own self-image.
beatlesluv 14th-Mar-2013 05:14 pm (UTC)
Yes I need her to STFU because of what she's said and done in the past. I have no time for this individual - serving up tumblr realness. -_-

she talks weird for a 26 yr old

i wouldn't mind looking like a vs model bc it seems like all clothes are designed to fit them. it would be nice to put stuff on and it fit perfectly
camillesaens 14th-Mar-2013 05:11 pm (UTC)
iawtc.

clothes are made for thin people. I can't even count how many times ppl tell me how thin i am when im in a bathing suit. I look fat in clothes
beatlesluv 14th-Mar-2013 05:20 pm (UTC)
What do you wear/how do you dress?

I'm quite tall (5'9) and I'm fit but I've got curves. So I mainly live in skinny jeans/pants, pencil skirts, and mini dress with a defined waist. It's not that hard if you know how to shop for your body. :)

ms_mmelissa 14th-Mar-2013 04:57 pm (UTC)
Haha yes.

As a short person I've adapted by getting really tall friends so they can all get stuff from the top shelves for me. <3

My boyfriend is way too amused by my height and will occasionally purposefully not help me so he can watch me jump for something.
kissoffools 14th-Mar-2013 05:19 pm (UTC)
Lol in university I lived with three girls who were all about 5 feet tall (I'm basically 5'9"). I spent four years with AWFUL height insecurity around them until we finally talked it out one day shortly after graduation and I found out how much they appreciated my height to be able to help them out with stuff in our kitchen cabinets. :p Which never really occurred to me, even though I used to hear "Can you grab me the soup/cereal/mugs" on a daily basis, haha.

being tall has its drawbacks tho

for instance I hit my head on ceilings/doorframes constantly

being short is a pain in the ass and every extra pound i put on, would be way less noticeable if i was taller tbh

lol ladies at the grocery store ask me to get things from the top shelf for them sometimes.
theactualworst 14th-Mar-2013 05:20 pm (UTC)
That's funny because I wish I was petite. Being tall just adds another layer of annoyance to dating.


(Seriously though why are men so short these days? I'm only 5'7 and it's still a struggle.)
