For those of you that don’t know who Lena Dunham is, shame
on you. That is unless you are over 30. Irresponsible twenty something is
pretty much her middle name. She is more recently known for producing and
starring in the HBO series Girls. She’s
also done some lesser done work like her movie tiny furniture which is a
condensed version of her show.
Ok here we go, the top five reasons you should love Lena
Dunham:
1. She portrays being a twenty something to a
T in her work.
Never have I seen a more spot
production as I have in Girls and Tiny Furniture. While every other movie
and show is glamourizing your twenties and how great it is to be young and
single, she is showing the true raw emotions of what we go through on a daily
basis. I have had so many moments watching her where I said to myself, “wow I had the same experience.”
2. She’s a real woman and not afraid to show
the world.
I give major props to someone that
can walk around naked on TV, take heat for it in the entertainment world and still
keep on flaunting it.
3. Lena opens our eyes to how terrible and
scary going out into the real world can be.
Let’s face it, after college the majority
of us are poor and take shitty jobs just to stay alive. I speak from
experience. Also like Lena, we quit said jobs half a dozen times.
4. Girls
shows us how we would really act if money were an imaginary thing.
When Lena’s character breaks down on the
show, cuts her hair and becomes a recluse for a month you stop and think, “if I could get away with that I would in a
heartbeat.” It’s like the unpaid vacation from out shitty jobs were aren’t
allowed to take to begin with.
And Finally….
5. She’s kicking ass and taking names by
producing and starring in her work.
Enough said.
