Lena Dunham does Playboy

Ironically, Lena, who’s always up for a bit of nudity – which I think is brilliant, by the way – didn’t  pose for the mag or show off her curvaceous body.

Fully clothed, Lena commented on many subjects, but I particularly love the response she gave when asked what she would do if she woke up in the body of a Victoria’s Secret model.

“I’d be really disoriented and wonder what had happened in the night. Which enemy had dragged me to the doctor? I don’t think I’d like it very much. There would be all kinds of weird challenges to deal with that I don’t have to deal with now. I don’t want to go through life wondering if people are talking to me because I have a big rack. Not being the babest person in the world creates a nice barrier.

"The people who talk to you are the people who are interested in you. It must be a big burden in some ways to look that way and be in public. That said, I probably would want to see if I could get free food at restaurants. Then I’d call a doctor and see if she could return me to my former situation,” says Miss Dunham.

I completely agree. Though I have my body issues, I don’t think I’d ever want to only be liked just for the way I look.
