Boardwalk Empire Collides with Tiny Furniture

We all now know my obsession with both Boardwalk Empire and Tiny Furniture by now.....

So while researching every little intricacy and innate important detail about both I came to this ironic and awesome conclusion that bridges them together....intern making me the psychic of cool things to come.....


So here is Jeminma Kirke who went to High School with writer, director, and lead actress of Tiny Furniture Lena Dunham.
Jeminma stole a lot of the scenes in Tiny Furniture and played the role of her needy; self-entitled; twenty-something very naturally. In an interview with Fader, Jeminma speaks about moving to New York when she was 10 from London and growing up in Greenwich Village and being best friends in the world with actress, model, and Zac Posen's muse, Paz de la Huerta.

She brings the sexy back to the 1920's as Enuch Thompson's first "love," in the beginning of Boardwalk Empire. Jemima and Huerta use to "hang outside delis and tried to get people to buy us beer and went and sat in Tompkins Square Park with a tape player, playing mixtapes and seeing what kind of people we could attract." -Fader interview.

Lena claims that Jemima and her met at an awkward middle school dance; where all the snooty New York upper crust private schools would dance together; but she says it was in High School.

Jemima says it was "in the bathroom and I was wearing some really cool outfit like a tube top or something, and she was like “cool tube top”. I don’t remember that, but we became close at St. Ann’s in Brooklyn Heights, which is fucking boring. There’s nothing in Brooklyn Heights."

All good things are connected, I am sure of it, and I am sure theses girls might even have some connection to Kevin Bacon, but I don't feel like finding that one right now.
