. Lena's public image (who knows how either of them really think) is the opposite. As is Hannah Horvath. She's not going to try to make herself pretty, or likeable, or appropriate, or a good example. She's going to make a big presentation of everything that could be conceived as a flaw, physically or personality-wise. As far as her awards show outfits go, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. If I had to guess, I would probably say this pretty much sums it up. As in, why should I have to TRY to be acceptable/appropriate? I am who I am; I look how I look. Like it or don't. This could just be COMPLETE projection on my part, after a lifetime of hearing, "But you have such a pretty face. If only you would lose/do/try/change..." But if there's any truth to this, I kinda get it.

Are these people playing music or doing something minor before a book reading in a bookstore? Because that is pretty common from what I understand. If this is more of a structured reading with breaks and a super-official moderator, then yeah, that's cheapo.

She has since recanted and decided to pay people.

WELP. Her new non-fiction book has some pretty horrifying details about her childhood. I think I'm actually more bothered by her father carrying her to her parents room for twelve years than the stuff with the sister. This is a more bite-sized article about it. ETA: to be clear, her father wasn't abusing her, but rather that was the compromise they made so that she wouldn't come into her parents room and sleep because she wanted to keep them from having sex. So she went to sleep in her own room and her carried her inti her parents room for twelve years. So, like, a teenager. And as the stuff with the sister...kids are curious and experiment. I get that. But there's something about the way she describes it that bothers me.

i think I'd rather read the phone book than her so called autobiography. I think she goes out of her way to create a tortured hipster persona.

And just when I was starting to like her. Now I'm back to being disgusted with her like I was at the start of this thread when I was first introduced to her via her offensive tweets. And her apologies were almost as bad as her original joke -- Haha. America has so many serial killers that it's not as big a deal here. I didn't realize how much you quaint Canadians care about murder. Haha. Oh, I just watched the TV movie. I didn't know it was so bad. Haha. The TV movie BTW made it clear that young girls, one of whom she joked about being dressed up as, were raped and murdered. This chick. Oy. The excerpts of her book make it clear that those tweets weren't temporary brain farts. They represent her perfectly. She sees the suffering of others as cool, entertaining, alluring, funny, sexy because she has absolutely zero understanding of what suffering is and how it effects people. Her made up stories about her sister would, in the real world, be considered abuse. Now, I realize they are fake, but the thing is, Lena actually thinks this subject matter is comical and all in good fun. And to top it all off her writing sucks. That pebbles in the vagina story was full of holes (yep. holes.) She describes a slim 1-year-old (is there such a thing?) who apparently is potty-trained already and, for some reason, is playing outside on a dirty driveway without panties on. With Lena making it clear that these stories are complete bullshit it wouldn't matter all that much but for the fact that she accused a guy who can easily be identified of rape. A real guy in the real world. Accused of rape. I'm not sure how she got away with having that bit published. The book is listed as "nonfiction." It seems to me this guy, assuming he's innocent, would be able to sue both Lena and the publisher. What kind of feminist falsely accuses someone of rape? This is a rare occurrence that assholes just love to point out as evidence that women are evil whores who lie. Oh, wait. Now I get it. She's being ironic and cool right? Yeah, that must be it.
