Labeled an Icon

Back in 2013, Lena was labeled an “Icon” on Time magazine’s list of “The Most Influential People in the World." This honor put her among the likes of China’s First Lady, former US Rep. Gabby Giffords, and Queen Bey herself. Lena Dunham is definitely becoming a voice for her generation and I love that she uses her voice and popularity to bring important topics to the surface. It's also really cool that she doesn't see herself as this big "icon".

Defending All Body Types

Lena is very vocal about her opinions. She's confessed that she doesn't have the "Hollywood body" that people might expect her to have, but she's okay with it. When talking about Girls, Lena said, "I hope that my presence and that of my cast members has given people some sense that a range of body types is appropriate and even wonderful on TV.” Lena shows that it is okay to love yourself for who you are - you don't need to fit other people's expectations of you.

"women of the Year" Awards

"women of the Year" Awards Lena is always her crazy self - no matter what. While giving her speech at Glamour magazine’s “Women of the Year” awards last year, she did what every woman has only dreamed of doing. She kicked off her heels and told everyone, "I have to take my shoes off you guys, I'm so sorry." Stuff like that only makes me love Lena even more.

When talking about Girls and her relationship with the HBO network, Lena said, "My biggest nightmare is that I do something where they’d be like, “That’s why you don’t give shows to 25-year-old girls.” I don't think she has to worry about that. Girls is a huge hit!

Ohmigod I takes 4evr too load!

Girls is my show! Love Lena! Can't wait for season 4.

Lena is the queen of cringe-worthy comedy...and if I have to explain this you obviously have never watched Girls... Girls is the best-written comedy on TV right now, and maybe one of the best ever! Biggest props to Lena for being totally I afraid to bare her body without a hint of embarrassment, and make you look at it with all it's beauty and imperfections!! Can't wait for Season Four

But she wears too much makeup
