When I watched the first episode of GIRLS (about 2 seasons after everyone else had, yes I succumb to peer pressure easily) I was mouth wide openly gob smacked at how funny, brazen and powerful it was. I was pissing myself. Here was a tv series that spoke about periods, about sex, about boyfriends and friends, about career, about parents, about money, about body expectations, about life but all from the girls perspective… a REAL girls perspective. It ain’t no Sex and City, that’s for damn sure. It’s the real deal and for that I think that Lena Dunham (writer and lead actor) is a GENIUS sent by god or some other heavenly creature to inject hilarity into our souls, one chubby white girl joke at a time.
Due to this serious girl crush, it’s no real surprise that I’m in love with her latest skit for Saturday Night Live, an Adam and Eve Parody called ‘The 1st Girl’. When things kick off with… “Adam, a snake just talked to me is that normal?” you know you’re in for some good old fashioned Lena Dunham fun. Lena, I salute you.
