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.

Juliette Lewis

Juliette Lewis rocks!

Not much more to say with her stellar rad attitude and bright screen presents she always brings joy to everything she does.

She has that kind of "I don't give a fuck swagger."

She is in a rock band.

And on top of everything else she is FUNNY.

She makes bad movies ok, because her parts still make you laugh and forget about how awful "The Switch" was.

She has been going STRONG since the 80s this women should be a role model for more actresses then any Miley Cyrus.

She is Oscar nominated for Cape Fear; She is EMMY nominated for Showtime's My Louisiana Sky; Beginning in 2004, Juliette took a hiatus from acting to embark on a musical journey. After six years, two full length albums and countless high profile tours and festival gigs with her band The Licks, Juliette set out on a solo career. Releasing Terra Incognita last fall, the album has taken her all across the world from Europe to Japan to Turkey, Australia, North America and Canada.

She helped kick off Milan Fashion week most recently walking in the Miss Bikini Luxe show.
The show opened with her new single “Hot Kiss.”



The multitasker was taking a time out from filming “Whip It!” directed by Drew Barrymore, she’s also working on her third album, which is due out in 2009. After the show, Lewis headed to Lotus nightclub for tipples and tunes with a gaggle of gal pals.

Now some of this is old news, but I can't help but give a WOOOO for this awesome actress who gets downplayed too often. I mean she just exudes cool, she has dated Brad Pitt and been married to pro skater Steve Berra...she is an ultimate California girl at heart. Free spirit all the way. I give a Mazel to her!!
