- What does her pussy taste like?
- Oh dear God, that thing is still here? Make. Her. Go. AWAY.
- the jewish media loves its own!
- That "update" Gawker posted today is fucking *priceless*. Apparently she's insufferable, entitled AND overly sensitive, so she made the mistake of siccing her attorney on Gawker asking them to take down the quotes from her book. Bad fucking idea, bitch! This ain't Gawker's first time at the legal-threat rodeo, fellas!
- "When I was about nine I developed a terrible fear of being anorexic."
Apparently anorexia NEVER became a problem for this pudgy unattractive no-talent whiner.
- Who will actually buy AND read this book? Outside of cunty NYC-ers in her inner circle of course.
Between her and Fran Lebowitz, how do people make such obscene amounts of money on dispensing what is essentially blog material?
- Ugh. I'm an ardent supporter of Girls. I really love it. But she may have jumped the shark.
- her fame will be brief....just look the other way and it will be over soon (that said ...the show is actually ok...but she is just yucky.)
- I agree, the show is well-written (Judd may have something to do with that) but her character is insufferable and entitled. But now she appears to be writing a book, in all seriousness, that sounds just like that obnoxious character.
ugh
- I don't blame Lena Dunham for this as much as the asinine publishers who thought her drivel was somehow worth $3.7 million. My response to a book proposal like this would've been "GET A BLOG, BITCH."
- I've been watching Girls, now being broadcast in the UK, and I'm kind of surprised that it's run out of steam before the episodes have even reached double digits. At least on SATC they wrote subplots for Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha.
- When the NYC art world bought this bullshit of her father, what else do you expect?

Possibly%20NSFW%2C%20Definitely%20Pretenious%20Bullshit
- The New Yorker ran yet another long profile of one of the Dunham family members a few weeks ago. This time it was her mom, the artist Laurie Simmons. They were also the first magazine to bring Lena to the public's attention back in November 2010.
- She recently wrote an insufferable piece for the magazine too, R13. I thought it was a parody until it went on too long and I looked at the contributor's name and realised oh, this isn't fiction.
- Those quotes sound like old Woody Allen material.
- wow @r12's link. i can't believe her father is considered a serious artist. that was utter shite.
- This is what happens when parents say they'll pay for their child's grad school OR an indie film.
- .
- I started reading the New Yorker piece, and I couldn't finish because it was very unfinished,grating, and just not that interesting. The writing style was really rough. Girls probably has a big room of writers.
- Oh My GOD can you please get therapy to deal with your hatred of women, you DL misogynists?
- Relax. We just hate you, R20.
- She gets sole writing credit most of the time. I watched the first season out if curiosity. I think the show is well written but the characters are so fucking stupid it's unreal. I mentioned this to someone in her late 20s who said the show was accurate and the characters reminded her of people from her seven sisters college. She also thinks the show is hilarious.
- Lena needs to write about her closet case father. Perhaps she can analyze that for us peons?
IITRC, one comment, in either her movie or her TV show, refers to her mom dating a lot of gay men.
Write what you know about, I guess, huh, Lena One Note?
http://bombsite.com/images/attachments/0005/6617/Carroll-Dunham_body.jpg
- She writes what she knows about. It's not that complicated. In her case, her parents' connections and money made it possible for her to make a film and get her writings to agents. This doesn't make her a good writer (I wonder how many writers are helping her write her show).
Anyway, she's a fad and once her schtick gets old, or someone else with a different schtick appears, she'll fade into the background. My guess is, she'll continue to make films and write for TV, but she no Kathryn Bigelow, or Jane Campion, or Lynne Ramsay.
- I'm a woman in who's smack-dab in her target demographic, and I could never read this book, and I can only tolerate her person in small doses.
Whatever, I was put into therapy by my paranoid NYC businesswoman mom when I was 4. In fact, most people of all backgrounds have had weird or precocious things happen to them, similar to those quotes. You just have to listen to said other people share themselves with you for a sufficient length of time.
*$$$$$*
- Well, of course not you fool. She's not like any of those women anyway.
I liked Tiny Furniture and Apatow didn't help her with that.
- Her father reminds me a bit of Dominick Dunne. Must be the glasses and thin lips.
Most awkward father daughter pose ever.
http://www.zimbio.com/Carroll+Dunham
- I liked the few episodes of Girls that I've seen but WTF is this rubbish??? Definitely feels like a jumped the shark moment as someone else said.
- Her nudity at the Emmys was stupid and pointless. She can act like she's edgy and intellectual, but she's another one who thinks being daring is taking your clothes off and
trying to one up "the boys" in terms of outrageousness.
Just give me someone who is clever and funny.
- The naked moment on the toilet on the Emmys -- the fuckin' EMMYS -- lost it for me. I can't look at her the same way. Women, stop sharing your bowel movements with us. gross.
- I missed the Emmy moment. Thank god. Even if she annoys me, I still would have felt embarrassed for her. However, these tidbits of hers do not leave me feeling embarrassed for her.
- That wasn't the one I meant to post at R27.
http://www.zimbio.com/Carroll+Dunham
- What toilet moment at the Emmys?

- OMG R12. Some of those (vaginas excluded) actually look like scribblings done by a five year old.
- I posted and the post never showed up.
What gets me about Lena Dunham is how delusional and self assured she is about her 'talent', she believes her own hype! Her movie was pure navel gazing as is her TV series.
She's not interesting at all, she's a schlubby looking woman with nothing new to say. I went to art school with these types of people, there were so many legends in their own minds! Most of them realized early on they weren't going to make it as artists and were smart enough to pursue other careers. Lena had everything handed to her, she hasn't had to time to step back and reflect that she is not talented at all.
There are probably hundreds of young people out their much more talented and attractive than she is. It sucks when talent-free people like LD actually become famous and wealthy. Who the hell cares about her boring life?
Lena must have been incredibly spoiled and coddled as a child. Her first poop in a toilet bowl probably won her accolades from her parents.
Her parents aren't all that talented either. Her mother came from money, so it's not as if her mom became wealthy from her photos of miniatures.
Her father's art is as one-note as Lena's 'writing'. He is obsessed with vagines and assholes. Give me a break.
- What r36 said. Lena is yet another who was born on third base and think she hit a triple.
I always wonder how many truly talented people there are out there with original things to say, but because they grew up without money and/or connections they don't know how to go about getting their work out there, or they are ignored in favor of bores like Dunham. It's too bad.
- [quote]What gets me about Lena Dunham is how delusional and self assured she is about her 'talent', she believes her own hype!
If you spend any time in the 'business' you'll learn that the most successful (in terms of $$$ and fame) people are just like her. You have to be delusional about your own worth or talent to think you are worthy of $3.5 mil. book advance.
- What surprises me is that "Girls" has had the success it has enjoyed, despite the homeliness and unappealingness of Dunham and her co-stars. There seems to be this deep need among women and gay men to have a TV show about a bunch of women sitting around kvetching about men, sex, and work: "Designing Women," "Golden Girls," "Sex and the City"... Dunham's show came around at the exactly right time to be that kind of show for her generation.
- The worst part is Lena and Lea Michelle have now convinced a whole generation of ugly jewish girls that they too can be actresses...
- Lena Dunham is one of the plainest, homliest girls I've ever seen. How can a 26 year-look like a 45 year-old cat lady?
- Sometimes I understand why conservatives get ticked off by liberals of the Lena Dunham variety. Coddled, precious/precocious, superior about being smart with only shallow knowledge, and just like George W and Mitt, refusing to acknowledge they were born with many advantages. Unpopular except to a vocal, small and overrepresented part of the population.
A case of "This is why they hate us," I guess.
- I'm all for discussing Dunham's artistic merits, or lack there of. Ditto her talent, nepotism, her entitled attitude, whether her show is actually good or just over hyped, etc. However, I seriously don't get why anyone brings up her looks. She NEVER says she's anything but mildly attractive at best and downright ugly at worst. I think her looks need to omitted from the discussion. Her nudity on the show isn't meant to be sexy, it's meant to say: My character is having sex and people have sex in the nude, ugly or not, trim or not. It makes me question someone's critique of her when the first thing they bring up is her looks.
And I'm a gay male, btw.
- she isn't us
- [quote]I think her looks need to omitted from the discussion.
If she were simply a writer and director, this would be allowable. However, she insists on being before the cameras.
- r43=MARY!
- I can get on board with what R43 is saying. If Lena considered herself one who should play the bombshell, that would be another story.
People of all physical types have the right to be actors, and many physical types should be represented for variety and character coloration. So I don't see where that gets us in a possibly more meaningful discussion of the other things Dunham and her work seem to stand for (or not).
- Steve Buscemi has many roles and no one minds that he is not attractive.
- but r47....nobody likes an ugly fat girl
- Actually, R49.....I could care less. And if it weren't for them, what would you hate and make fun of that yields equivalent fulfillment for yourself?
- She lost me with the Canadian serial killer Halloween costume tweets. Though her flabby arms are also annoying. A twentysomething should not have mom arms.
- [quote]I could care less.
Not this again.
- Who is this person?
- she's over, thank goodness
- R52. As long as the person's physicality doesn't seem completely out of left field for the character, I. COULD. CARE. LESS.
- You mean: YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS.
52
- r47, r50, r55 sounds like an ugly fat person just like Lena!!!!
- I. Could. NOT. Care. Less.
- Bahaha, my bad! Yeah, that. Cut me some slack- I've had the worst insomnia for a week.
R56
- "She NEVER says she's anything but mildly attractive at best and downright ugly at worst. I think her looks need to omitted from the discussion."
Why shoud her looks be ommitted? She is putting herself out there, she's naked nearly every week of her series and she's hard on the eyes! If I want to see ugly or plain fat people, I'll walk through a mall in Brooklyn or Queens!
As someone else posted, she's dumpy and looks middle aged!
When an unattractive person (an actress or an actor) is paired on screen with a person who is much more attractive than they are, you bet your ass it's open for discussion! I call this the Woody Allen Syndrome, has this guy ever had an ugly onscreen girlfriend? I always laugh at that aspect of his films.
I was was cringing during Dunham's sex scene with Lou Pucci, the actor who played the pharmacist from her hometown. I think that's the actor's name. That poor guy, having to be between her fat thighs and looking at her crotch, ugh.
Ironically, Lena's mom and sister are attractive, slim and tall women, Lena looks like a refugee, all she needs is a babushka on her head.
- [quote] was was cringing during Dunham's sex scene with Lou Pucci, the actor who played the pharmacist from her hometown. I think that's the actor's name. That poor guy, having to be between her fat thighs and looking at her crotch, ugh.
That was the episode that lost me too....the guy was so cute and so interested in her....this only happens when the ugly girl is writing the script.
- "The worst part is Lena and Lea Michelle have now convinced a whole generation of ugly jewish girls that they too can be actresses..."
Lea is Italian and Jewish.
Lena is a Wasp and a Jew, which seems to be a lethal combination in showbiz, re ending up an annoying "entitled cunt", look at Miss Goop AKA G. Paltrow!
- R48: The difference is Buscemi is a good actor.
I find her the least interesting character on her show.
- People are much more tolerant of ugly guys than of ugly girls. Why? People will say that not every guy needs to be classically good-looking, but they don't cut females that same kind of slack.
- I really hate the notion that people who were born to wealthy parents are never allowed to strive for success in their own lives. What would you prefer these people to do? Just sit around, do nothing and mooch off their trust funds forever? There's plenty of rich layabouts that do exactly that, you just never hear of them. At least the Lena Dunhams on the world try to break out of the shadow of their parents' success.
- R64 Raises a very good point. And as we've discussed many a time, a leading male is at least ugly (sometimes borderline hideous) compared to the female lead.
Could it be that Dunham is mocking that TV/film norm? Dammit, I guess there is something clever about her.
- [quote]People are much more tolerant of ugly guys than of ugly girls. Why? People will say that not every guy needs to be classically good-looking, but they don't cut females that same kind of slack.
Well, Girls is quite a showcase for ugly guys. Adam Driver has the ugliest face I've ever seen on a TV actor (though it's sitting on top of a hot body) and that Alex Karpovsky guy is no beauty either. So I think Lena doesn't really care too much about anyone on the show looking perfect.
Looking through the book proposal it seemed pretty jokey to me -- more of a self-deprecating humour book than a memoir. The quotes Gawker pulled are out of context. (And I was on Lena's side as far as them publishing the entire 64 page proposal.)
- "People are much more tolerant of ugly guys than of ugly girls. Why? People will say that not every guy needs to be classically good-looking, but they don't cut females that same kind of slack."
I can enjoy watching many ugly actresses. Many character actresses are not pretty women in the traditional sense, the difference is, these women are talented and have been consistently working for years. Mostly because they bring something to the film or the TV show, their talent and presence.
What annoys people about Dunham is her annoying superior attitude and the fact that since she's not talented or attractive, and, yes, we are programmed to see that beauty is usually rewarded, exactly WHY is she famous? She's not talented (media hype is not talent) and she's certainly not pretty. She doesn't even seem to have a pleasant or likable personality. I've seen her on talk shows and she came across like a moron.
What also shocks me, this woman has had one of the most massive media blitzes, for a person with very little talent and zero charm, it's just manufactured hype. You'd think she was starring in the next "Lord of the Rings" production!
There have been articles in NEW YORK, the New York Times and, well, she has been all over the place over the last year and frankly, she warrants NONE of it.
When I see a writer use the term "Lena Dunham-esque" I want to vomit. Are they serious or getting paid off by Dunham, HBO or Apatow?
- What about a movie starring Lena Dunham and Woody Allen?
- What about the other it girl, Gerta Erwig - is she over, too?
- R68, I agree with your opinions about Dunham and her press and her attitude, even if she is being sarcastic or self-deprecating. And it's kind of been a fad to hype women in this manner. She's not the only one...though probably the most obvious one in a while.
Tavi%20Fucking%20Gevinson.
- I don't care for Lena and haven't seen her show, but I'm sure all the Gawker writers and readers wished they had the wherewithal to pull together a book proposal. Instead, the Gawker clan will just keep dreaming and instead write snarky comments to each other while they sit in their cube.
- Gawker doesn't love Lena? I thought they did. Ok. Maybe they did but don't now.
- Is there a site with a copy of her book proposal?
- Speaking of connections, that Mamet daughter has no charisma at all and she's uglier than a mud fence. When she popped up on Mad Men I assumed she must be someone's relative, and then when Girls came out I discovered who her parents were and it all made sense.
- I kind of liked that, R12.
And I like GIRLS. Especially Adam. I just know he wants to show us his dick.
- Truly, the word cunt was invented for this revolting Lena Dunham. Yet another sign that culture in the U.S. has hit rock bottom.
- She is to writing what Lizzie Grant is to music-more talented maybe, but same principle.
I don't think people criticize her looks for only one reason.
There is enough genuine misogyny in society for people to complain because they think women on TV should not be that ugly and ordinary. There's the pure entertainment view that media is selling something pleasing, and everyone likes to see pretty people. White men have always been catered to in Hollywood, and they like hot younger women.
The other side is that it doesn't matter as long as it's realistic art. People look like her IRL, they have sex, they use raunchy humour, so it's good to have those people in the media reflecting society.
The problem with Dunham is she is so obviously striving and entitled that she really doesn't fall in either category.
She is technically over-rated and aligns herself with people who have green light ability to raise her profile. "Writing what you know" is a refuge for a lot of marginal talents.
- There's not a lot of perspective about her. She's not even ugly - she's simply ordinary-looking. And unlike a lot of men in her position, she's not hiring only hot young studs/babes to co-star with her, and she's not pretending to be some bombshell.
- I will say this--she sometimes looks like Honey Boo Boo all grown up.
http://i.huffpost.com/gen/797604/thumbs/s-LENA-DUNHAM-BOOK-large.jpg
- r72 TOTALLY nailed it. Gawker, websites like it, and their commenters are all struggling or failed writers that will never have an iota of Lena Dunham's success, so they shit all over it. I'm actually a fan of hers and the show though I can see why people don't like either so I'm not going to debate that.
I'm a writer who's actually published a book with more on the way, and you'd be surprised how many of these people in the so-called media elite want desperately to be published but they're either not good enough or too lazy to put something together. They are deeply, DEEPLY resentful of those who've crossed that very fucking big barrier.
I've had fellow writer acquaintances seethe with envy at the very fact that I got published, and I guarantee you my book advance wasn't $4 million bucks. On Gawker's side that jealousy and resentment is 100% of what is at play here, and nothing more.
- Or maybe, r81, they actually do put in the work, are genuinely talented and can't get in the door because they don't have rich, connected parents.
Whom you know is often the most important thing. Entertainment (esp. Hollywood) is full of these people.
- I think R81 has a point. I'm guessing tons of people on the DL are failed and/or striving writers. I am. We (and Gawker) see a decent talent (yes, Dunham is talented. No, she isn't a genius) achieve success and we claim: "Nepotism! Ugly bitch! Untalented cunt!" Because it doesn't make sense to us. WE SHOULD BE WHERE SHE IS. Well, we're not. Most successful artists got there because of luck or timing or sex or, yes, well positioned parents. Lena falls into three of those categories for sure. But she still had to deliver the goods, and to many, many people, she has.
- Welcome to the 1% of America.
- I don't care that she's unattractive. She alternates between dull and annoying, either way I don't want to watch it.
- [quote]However, I seriously don't get why anyone brings up her looks. She NEVER says she's anything but mildly attractive at best and downright ugly at worst. I think her looks need to omitted from the discussion.

It makes me question someone's critique of her when the first thing they bring up is her looks.
So what then is the point of the skimpy clothes she wears offscreen, her insistence on displaying her body in photos like the one at the link? As near as I can tell, there's nothing ironic intended there. It's one thing to be playing a character in a show and using her body to illustrate whatever points she wants to make there. It's quite another thing to run around at public events with just a shirt and no visible bottoms when you've got thunder thighs.
As long as she presents herself in such a way in her offscreen life, I don't think commentary about her appearance is so out of bounds. She clearly WANTS people to look at her.
http://i.huffpost.com/gen/794600/thumbs/o-LENA-DUNHAM-570.jpg%3F12
- I suppose it's fair to attack her for that choice of outfit, R86. But not for her looks. Go reread posts in this thread. Tons espouse that she's overrated (or something equally denigrating) because she's unattractive. I just don't get what her looks have to do with her artistic merit. A person doesn't lose artistic credibility because they're are unattractive and star in a TV show. They lose artistic credibility because they're weak artists.
Now, because she is an actress, it's fair to say "I think that Lena Dunham just is not attractive". But to say her unattractiveness makes her unworthy to be on TV or somehow makes her unable to be a good actress is just ridiculous.
- I've had recurring nightmares since adolescence in which I walk around in a shirt with no underwear like that. I'm not the only one I've heard of having such anxiety dreams of being exposed. Yet here she is living out such a common nightmare scenario in front of a camera with a body that is simply not aesthetically pleasing (to say the least) in such attire. And standing next to [italic]that[/italic] girl? What does she get out of doing this? A feeling of Girl Power or something that vapid?
- "So what then is the point of the skimpy clothes she wears offscreen, her insistence on displaying her body in photos like the one at the link?

I agree totally.
The outfit she wore during her first appearance on Jimmy Fallon was absurd, a very short dress, which the shape was not even suited to her figure. It was ill fitting all around. I sew, I know what I am talking about. There are ways to make a bad figure look more attractive. It seems she constantly goes out of her way to repel people. Her look isn't even cool or weird in an attractive way, it's repulsive.
She is not slim, she is also not average weight nor is she curvaceous in an outrageous was, as say, Coco, Ice T's wife. Lena Dunham has a dumpy, pale, un-toned body, NO ONE WANTS TO LOOK AT IT, yet she keeps exposing herself. I'm beginning to think she's an exhibitionist.
I recall reading somewhere that she likes to be naked at home. Fine, that's her business. When she's making public appearances, such as being at a red carpet event or being interviewed, the public doesn't need to be subjected to her gormless pale schlubby figure and homely face. If ever there was a woman who needs a burka, it's her!
- Lena Dunham: US VOGUE cover model May 2013. You heard it here first. The DL threads are in the making.
- She seems to be very impressed with how interesting she is to herself. I know many of this type of L-train trustafarian and the problem is that they actually believe others are this interested in their minutiae.
- "Lena Dunham: US VOGUE cover model May 2013. You heard it here first. The DL threads are in the making."
Would Anna Wintour ever stoop this low to rope in some younger readers?
Yes, perhaps if an extreme makeover like the did for their Oprah cover! The Photoshop experts will need to be toiled away for along time!
If Wintour wanted someone from the series, she'd pick the Bad Company drummer's daughter, the blond Brit Jemima Kirke or Brian Williams' daughter Allison, never ever Dunham.
Dungham would probably want to do some poses based on her father's paintings....exposing her asshole and flabby vagine! The mind boggles.
- Dumpy cunts like this rising to absurd fame is proof of a vast Illuminati/Jewish/Reptilian conspiracy of world leaders foisting their inbred spawn upon a rotting culture.
David%20%22Ewww%2C%20Icky%21%22
- those really can't be quotes from the proposal
its like someone with a brain injury attempting to recollect the past

- R94, And that also applies if she meant those quotes ironically or sarcastically. That's the issue with people who try to be "cool", such as hipsters. They see who can layer on the most levels of irony or sarcasm and meta-commentary, and whoever "wins" can qualify as a genius.
- Lena's mother, Laurie Simmons, is friends with Meryl Streep, who lives in the same Connecticut town as the Dunham family. Streep appeared in a short film Simmons wrote and directed a couple of years ago. Is that what DLers mean when they refer to her being well connected?
- Jesus christ, she is easily 10 times worse than I thought she was.
- Her picture on the dvd of her show is the most airbrushed I have ever seen...
- agree. Have never watched her show and don't intend to. Can't even stand looking at pictures of her fat body and beyond-ugly face. Can't stand to look at David Mamet's beyond-fucking-ugly spawn Zosia Mamet either. She was tolerable as Peggy's friend in a few episodes of Mad Men (came across as Dyke Delight) but that's it. Lena Dunham is one thing: lucky.

I HOPE the info re Dungham getting a VOGUE cover was just a JOKE!
- R104, you sicken me. Get help.
- I agree with everything in your post, R105.
- I'm a big Lena Dunham fun. I don't have HBO, and just watched the first season of Girls on DVD. I think it's brilliant--very funny, very real. She reminds me of a young Tina Fey. I don't understand the hostility some of the posters have towards her, especially those who haven't even seen her work.
- For those Lena fans (or haters) out there, be sure to check out the episode of ICONOCLASTS with Lena and Judd Apatow kissing each others asses. OMG.
She is now officially his protege. We can look forward to an endless stream of autobiographical Lena "comedies."
- r108 here. I meant to type fan, of course, not fun.
- I love Tina Fey but I will admit she is an uneven writer. And like Dunham, she does turn a lot of autobiographical detail and experience into comedy.
But the comparison ends there. Fey could never be accused of pretension in her work. And she's very old-school: plugging away for years at Second City, paying the rent, working her way through the hideous old-boys' school of SNL to become head writer and earning the respect of Lorne Michaels, an authentic sexist prick.
Tina's earned her success. Lena? Not so sure.
- Lena and Gawker are cut from the same untalented, logorrheic cloth. Hence, the mutual hatred.
- Your misogyny is why kids get shot to death in grade school. Please get help.
- Tina Fey didn't have jack shit for connections. She worked at the YMCA in Chicago and went on the road with the second-tier Second City ensemble for quite a while before she was even asked to join the mainstage. And as the above poster said, she started pretty low on SNL and had to put up with that ancient fossil Lorne Michaels, with his dated view of what was 'funny' and his dated attitude of women. She more than earned her success.
Lena Dunham couldn't have done it if she had come from an ordinary background like Fey did. She's not that talented.
- R114: Exactly.
- R114 is entirely correct and that's why we hate Lena Dunham. Plus, Fey isn't doughy fat.
- bump
- Yeah but people don't debate Tina Fey's work or ferl that she's representing their generation. Her comedy is 'safe' and that's fine, but I'd rather watch someone who strays into pretension over pratfalls. Sure, Dunham can be a little precious, but she's also brave.
