Watch It Wednesdays - All Adventurous Women Do.

So I hurt my eye after Halloween, too much glitter + contacts = one jacked up eye. Instead of doing makeup tutorials and taking pictures, because I didn't want to freak you guys out with my weeping pirate eye, I've been working on blogs and watching my "shows". After I got through all the ones that are still actually on weekly t.v. like Sons of Anarchy and Masters of Sex, I busted out my tried and true series' first starting with Sex and the City.

I almost did a whole blog post on Sex and the City, and the re-evaluation of my dating life and the lack of clothing in my closet after watching all 6 seasons. THAT show, no matter who you are, will do that to you!! But then I started re-watching GIRLS, and the depression of my lackluster dating life was shot out of the water, and I was catapulted back into reality. Although I'm not as over the top as the character's in the show, the weird awkwardness that the girl's go through  is way more realistic to my life then the fabulousness of SATC (SHOCKER I KNOW).

I'm not going to lie, GIRLS hold's a sweet spot in my heart. My favorite memory is watching it holed up in my friend Laura's cabin for 2 days drinking whiskey and watching both seasons non-stop, and talking...always talking!! This show definitely brought our neurosis and terrible dating choices into full view and made it funny!


Okay so I guess I should explain the premise of the show, it's the anti-thesis of SATC. It revolves around 4 twenty-somethings in New York, trying to pretty much get their shit together. The main character is Hannah Horvath played by Lena Dunham the show's writer and director, she's a neurotic "writer" who in the first episode finds out her parent's will no longer be supporting her financially anymore. She's sleeping with this guy Adam, who treats her derogatorily which she loves lol. She lives with her best friend Marnie in the first  season. Marnie works for a gallery and she seems like the one that has everything together, until you realize she thinks her boyfriend Charlie's touch is reminiscent of a creepy uncle and gets fired from her gallery job due to "downsizing". You meet the other two girls at a welcome home party she gives for her friend Jessa who's moved back to NYC after having travelled through Thailand. She's definitely the "free-spirit" of the group and starts living with her cousin Shoshanna who is the total opposite, and also youngest of the group. "Shosh" is super naive and absolutely has the best lingo of the group. She's obsessed with Sex and the City and everything girlie but in the most uptight neurotic way. You find out straight away that she's also a 22 year old virgin and not thrilled about it.

But! I won't ruin the whole show you should definitely watch it! It puts your life into perspective especially if you are single, living in a major city, and you feel like you haven't hit the mark in life just yet, but not in the fabulous way you see on Sex and the City. Also, if you love Lena Dunham her movie Tiny Furniture is on Netflix. You definitely get a feel for her style in it and you see reoccurring characters and actors that you see in GIRLS.

So excited for the new season to start in January!! You will most likely hear more about this show.

Happy Humpday Glammies!
