I don't blame her. I can't stand Jezebel's approach to these issues.

ME TOO! That was the first time I've ever seen Shoshanna display any real feeling about anything. I can't stand the way she talks.

It's just way too much even when Elijah saw her on the street and the whole predictable "fat girl" exchanges. She has gone beyond being provocative to just be ingratiating.

I think the "reveal" of her unretouched photos and her predictable reaction seem very staged.

I watched Season 1 of Girls but just cannot get into Season 2. I just don't think the show is that entertaining and I really don't find anything compelling about Dunham. And I certainly wouldn't want to see her in a bikini.

This proves my point. You can't care about unretouched photos (normal) and do what she did in that episode due to 'total confidence'. She did it to make some sort of point, which is fine if it's one or two scenes. The whole time went beyond.

And I do get what she's saying re: the Vogue thing. I accidentally hit reverse on my camera phone and am now making an appt. for botox and filler

I'm OP. This is perfect! Thank you.

I am a realist when it comes to such things. I feel that people should wear clothing that flatters them. That includes skinny girls. Some people have small breasts, oversized breasts, big butts, small butts, etc. There are plenty clothing styles out there and it's pretty easy to find a flattering fit.

Yes. Because I'm not shallow enough to turn it off because she looked ridiculous. The writing is quite good. I am making the observation that trying so hard to prove a point detracts from the show itself.

If you've watched Tiny Furniture you'll see what I mean. The chick has intelligence and talent. She just needs to get off the soapbox.

Kind of silly for Jezebel to offer $10,000 for unretouched pics.


Kind of silly for Dunham or Vogue not to keep the photographer from distributing the original pics as part of the contract.

The green bikini for the entire episode drove me up a wall, but it would have seriously annoyed me to see anyone wearing nothing but a bikini for an entire day. Including while riding a bike into town. What??! That said, I think Hannah is hilarious in her own completely self-centered way.

Did you ever see her boyfriend? The guitarist from Fun? That guy has done it all - even dated Scarlett Johannson for a while.
