Eight reasons we absolutely love Lena Dunham
In a week where Sarah Palin controversially called the 29-year-old a paedophile in an angry Facebook post, SHEmazing! reckons it is high-time we compiled a list of reasons why we really LOVE Lena Dunham.
HEY LENA, WHY NOT LAUGH OFF EVERYONE'S SEXUAL "EXPERIMENTS" AS YOU HAUGHTILY ENJOY REWARDS FOR YOUR OWN PERVERSION? YOU…
Posted by Sarah Palin on Thursday, 4 June 2015
Actress, author, screenwriter, producer, director, feminist extraordinaire – that just about sums up the New York-native for us.
Incredibly given her young age, she has received no fewer than eight Emmy Award nominations for Girls – the same ground-breaking series which won her two Golden Globes.
Here are just some of the reasons why she's the best…
1.These emoji pants
Our love for these is pretty self-explanatory, though we're not too sure we'd want to wear them heading off for a jog. But they are, nevertheless, amazing.
2. She and her boyfriend are SO cute
Lead guitarist for the band Fun, as well as lead vocalist for Bleachers, Jack Antonoff and her are just adorable together.
She often posts messages of love and support for her beau to Instagram or Twitter, and we're bigs fan of the fact she's not afraid to open up and talk about lurrvve.
3. Girls (obviously)
This television series is a modern-day (as well as more true-to-life) take on Sex And The City. Lena stars in, writes, directs and produces it all – and the fifth series kicked-off earlier this year.
4. She's written an autobiographical tome: I’m Not That Kind Of Girl
This book, a collection of stories, emails and lists, is an honest account of her life growing up. It's attracted some controversy (including Sarah Palin's recent comments) since being released last September, but overall it was hugely well-received. It placed at No.2 on the New York Times best-sellers list.
5. She's open about personal issues
Lena openly suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety. Her willingness to speak publicly about these issues is admirable and definitely gives comfort to other people going through the same thing.
She's also says exercise helps her tackle her depressive issues.
6. Her positive body image
As Lena has shown time and time again, she really doesn't care about what society says a woman's body should look like.
She's comfortable in her own skin – and that sends out a positive message to women all over the world struggling with not being "perfect".
In fact, she's just the kind of positive female role model we gals need in our lives.
7. She loves eating pizza
Anyone who loves pizza this much, is a friend of ours for life…
8. She is BFFs with Taylor Swift
She is besties with Tay-Tay, and even stars in her music video for Bad Blood. We wanna hang out with them…
