Marnie Covers Kanye on GIRLS

It was so awkward listening to Marnie make a fool of herself on Girls tonight. Why is she still throwing herself over Charlie?? I honestly believe she's weakest, in the psychological sense, of all the characters. I've been hatin' her guts since last season. I mean, GET A GRIP GIRL and HAVE SELF-RESPECT! Watching Marnie stresses me out!

Anyway, this is the song. Is it even original to Girls? I am not sure, I Googled and didn't come up with any good hits about the song. But I've transcribed this by ear, so some lyrics are probably not accurate. You can help me correct this by making a comment below. Thanks!

Work it, make it, do it, makes us harder, better faster stronger.
That, that don't kill me,
Can only make me stronger.
I need you to hurry up now
Coz I can't wait much longer.
Let's get lost tonight,
You can be my white (Kate Moss) tonight.
Play secretary, you're the boss tonight.
And you don't give a fuck what they all say, right?
Bow in the presence of greatness
Coz right now, thou has forsaken us
You should be honored by my lateness,
That I would even show up to this fake-shit
So, go ahead, go nuts, go ape-shit.
Specially my pastels and my babe-shit.
I know I got to be right now.
Coz I can't get much wrong-er
Man, I've been waiting all night now.
That's how long I've been on you.....

Update: (8PM) Apparently, this song is originally Kanye's. Which I didn't know. Coz I am too dorky for Kanye's music. Haha.

Here's the actual trainwreck that was....Marnie!

(This) Girl on GIRLS

As a TV show, Girls is actually brilliant. It's well-written, the dialogues ring true, the scenes mirror real people as opposed to Hollywood commodities.  But it's the main characters who are quite the hard-sell.

When I say that, I mean I don't know how to convince people to, "give watching Girls a try because this certain character is awesome!"  None of the girls on Girls are (awesome, that is). And yes, there's Shoshanna. But she's lives in a different world and that's hard to sell, too!  The boys aren't exceptional either.

It was hard to convince people to watch the show because I didn't even find the characters likeable in the beginning.

It took me three episodes to uncover the potential of the show. Or that something about the writing of the story is engaging. (Episode 3 is my favorite!)

And then it took me five or six more episodes to acknowledge that, despite Hannah's breast exposures and sexual positions (awkwaaaaaaaaard, but so authentic!), Lena Dunham (Hannah), the show's writer, director and lead star is definitely one talented 26-year old.

Yet, I still have a problem. I still didn't warm up to her character even after realizing all that.

Until...

It took me till the 9th episode of the first season (where there are 10 episodes total, btw) to finally appreciate Hannah....and maybe even like her. Juuuust a little bit. 

It happened in one scene, where she was seen wearing this pair of shoes:

They were the exact shoes I've been lemming for months and I didn't have the will to get it coz...where am I gonna wear them?

I know! Shoes! It's completely superficial. Nadala sa sapatos! But I know girls can relate.

It was this exact moment that defined the moment I thought this spoiled little loser Hannah is actually pretty cool. We like the same shoes!!! *cheers*  So, if she ends up wearing more of the stuff I'd really like to see next season, then I might just really, really love Hannah already!

With season one done, I started reading up on Girls to get to know the cast and their characters better. Okay, it was more like to get to know Lena better. (I was just really starting to see why other brilliant comedians have been raving about this girl!)  And after watching and reading interviews of her, it's gotten me pretty much convinced that...

This girl ----

is really just a character ----

Hannah | GIRLS

this woman plays.

Lena | GIRLS' Star, Writer & Director

The latter, I'm already convinced, is great. The former, I'm holding off till the second season to see what's up her butt some more. (Wait. I don't mean that to be literal. Please don't show your butt, Hannah!!!)

Have you seen Girls? You got squeamish with some scenes didn't you? Hated Hannah for it? Haha. Well, get over it coz you will love what happens if you just let the story move along.

Girls is brilliant. (I said that already!) And the characters are so insane (two of them clinically insane, I think!) that by the end of the Season 1, you may even recognize yourself in some of them and love the show for "getting" you, girl.

Now, go. Watch.

TV Style: Jessa on GIRLS

I don't enjoy watching HBO's Girls because the sex scenes are really uncomfortable. Realistic, but...just not something you'd expect to see on a chick-show, you know?

I'd be less squeamish watching a man and a woman go at it on Spartacus to be honest. (in which case, it's a man and a woman, a man and a man, or a woman and a woman, or all of that together...)

But despite this...awkwardness....I'm drawn to Girls. 

And I still can't explain why.

Of the four female leads, Jessa isn't the most fascinating and complex (spoiled and bratty Hannah is).

But Jessa is someone, who, if she walked in a room? My eyes would be totally drawn to her.

She oozes...European confidence. And her wardrobe choices reflect this.

She's into a lot of soft fabrics and florals, see:

I am loving this chic robe! It's loooong.

Where to get this pants? Check Possesionista.

This outfit is hard to pull-off. She does it effortlessly!

From a magazine pictorial for Girls. These pants are in fashion, apparently.

Jessa dresses like a modern-day hippie, or a modern-day flower child, if there is such a thing. Boho chic meets urban chic.

Her character, who works as a nanny in the series, is single and boyfriend less. On the style scale, she's like the Carrie Bradshaw of the group, in that she's adventurous. The actress playing her is British actress Jemima Kirke, who is actually a single mom.

Are you watching Girls? There's an ick-factor to it, gotta warn you. But if you can get past that, you would be able to appreciate the storylines. And yes, the clothes, too! :D
