Lena Dunham, Lingerie Model

August 26, 2016 | celebrity | Lex Jurgen | 0 Comments

In a sign that our world is going Krypton, Lena Dunham and her Girls co-star Jemima Kirke are being paid to model lingerie. It’s being labeled a Body Positive Lingerie Campaign because everything horrible has a constructive name. The Final Solution. What are you solving? Stop asking questions and keep shoveling coal.

Instead of being objectified, the women who participate in these campaigns—in this case, Lena and Jemima—are empowered and exhibit real beauty that will hopefully help women everywhere feel a little more liberated.

Buzzwords are wonderful and contain zero calories. Why is the heavy one putting lipstick on the even bigger one. Have you not heard the cautionary tale of the swine and cosmetics? The implication that not fat women are not beautiful seems rather offensive to women not from a privileged land with rich overweight women looking to turn the tables on health and beauty standards. Certainly easier than the elliptical and skipping those cronuts on set.

Fat people will always want to be less fat. Granted, they still need underwear. Lena Dunham doesn’t promote positive feelings about body image. She merely gives people an excuse to give up trying. I call bullshit on your revolution. 

The line of lingerie is labeled Lonely Girls. The snake oil salesmen are giving you a big fat clue.

 

UPDATE: In case you were wondering if you view these photos the same way as breathless girls writing for Vogue, they described Dunham and Kirke in lingerie as “gorgeous gossamer angels”. Were you reaching for the same phrase?
