Girl Crush: Jemima Kirke

     I strive to be like Jemima Kirke; she's creative. talented and beautiful.  Her character Jessa in the show Girls (which Lena Dunham created) is this like bohemian godess - one part amazing and one half scary.  I want to be her and I'm at the same time afraid of her.  Kirke plays a self confident woman as an actress, and is just, if not more, confident in her real life.  Personally, I find this so inspirational.
    You know how lots of women cover up their bodies when their pregnant? Jemima Kirke went in the other direction, just look at these pictures she took while she was way into her pregnancy.

     She's so comfortable in her own skin, and is not embarrassed to show it.  Kirke is a prime example of a gorgeous woman who does not bend to fit the norm and is proud of her mind, talent and body.  Although she is as confident as the women she has played, Kirke says she's not those people anymore although she had been.  She only works with her close friend Lena Dunham - yep the awesome girl who's just like amazing - and did not exactly want to be an actress.  Although she is talented, and is on one of the most popular shows of the time, Kirke is an artist at heart, and her work is fantastic.  It's beautiful and creepy, it's just so. . . ah-mah-zing. Her paintings are not realistic but they reveal human flaws that are not stereotypically attractive, and her paintings aren't "pretty" but they are detailed, interesting and eery.

    Wow I love her, she's just fantastic.  Jemima Krike is the ultimate feminist icon for me, she's so self assured and is extremely talented. I cannot wait to see more of this goddess.
