She's a trend setter. She could care less whether women posting on a shopping bulletin board like how she dresses. In fact if the general consensus was everyone liked how she was dressed, she would probably try and step it up a notch.{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Just where exactly is she a trend setter....it's obviously not in the world of fashion!!!!

Oh, she cares, believe me. Anyone that neurotic cares a whole bunch. Besides it's her stock in trade. She's hoping that all the other plain, sad, overweight girls will identify with her. There's certainly enough of them to help keep her show going. She's written a book coming out soon in which she describes her childhood psychotherapy and her OCD which she still deals with. Poor thing is a mess.

wow. just wow.

ITA. When life gave her lemons she made lemonade and she's able to sell her neuroses. Many many folks in show biz do. Events of the past few weeks should show you that. But emulating them or thinking they're "trend setters" is naive at best and tragic at worst.

actually, I was wow'ing at this

" She's hoping that all the other plain, sad, overweight girls will identify with her"

I actually like her and I was wow'ing at your post - not in agreement, but it astonishment. But heaven forbid that anyone says anything negative about the Duggers, right?

Re: No Words necessary.... Lena Dunham.. What was she thinking?????

I really like Lena, love her show and think she is pretty darn brilliant but a fashion trendsetter I don't find her to be at all.

Also, I have read that she gets her clothes a size small for her character on the show, not in real life. They pick all her clothes out by wearing what fits when she is wearing Spanx and then she doesn't wear them. They said they wanted Hannahs clothing choices to show how Hannah is, not really interested in fashion. I haven't heard that Lena Dunham herself wears them a size too small, just her character. Maybe I missed that one.

What is the storyline of the show that finds her baring it all?

I don't think that trend setter automatically means a fashion trend setter, because obviously, Lena is not.

I think she is a trend setter in other ways and empowers women to think outside of the box in regards to "beauty" norms.

I did get that, biancardi. Was having a little fun with ya, that's all. I call them like I see them and I defend those I like just as you're doing now. I never attack other posters when their opinion differs from mine. I simply state how I feel and where I think they're mistaken. I know that by bringing up the Duggars you're trying to bait me but it won't work. We're all entitled to our viewpoints.

Are you her shrink BlueCollar? You seem to have delved deep, deep, deep into her psyche.
