An Answer to Girls’ Lack of Diversity

There has been much discussion of late about the lack of diversity on the new HBO series Girls. Lena Dunham, the show’s writer and star, has stated that she intends to increase diversity in future seasons.

To help Dunham, we at The New Enthusiast have put our heads together to nominate an individual we believe is ideally suited to rescue Girls from its diversity desert.

Two words: Lando Calrissian.

That’s right. Bring back Billy Dee Williams to reprise his role as Lando Calrissian, administrator of Cloud City from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Calrissian is a curious amalgam of Armenian and African and, of course, none of either because he’s from another universe. The depths of this diversity are breathtaking.

Thank us later, Lena Dunham.


Simile Giveaway: Hot Chicks Edition

In an effort to improve the quality of contemporary verse, The New Enthusiast periodically injects a dose of quality figurative language into the blogosphere. Our previous edition gave hope to many poets struggling to register some small acreage of the vast wilds within. This edition turns its male gaze to the motif of the hot chick, and, from there, the sublime. Sit squarely in your seat, reader, and brace yourself for a torrent of textual pleasure and possibility.

Like a hot chick in a comic book store

Like a hot chick atop Mount Fuji

Like a hot chick with a fever

Like a hot chick paying attention to what you say, and you’re ugly

Like a hot chick parallel parking with expert precision

Like a hot chick with Ebola

Like a hot chick with a lot on her mind

Like a hot chick who’s so cool you can’t call her a hot chick anymore

Like a hot chick who uses the word “like” a lot

Like a hot chick whom you’re related to by marriage

Like a hot chick observing chicks hatching inside an incubator

Like a hot chick “liking” something unlikeable on Facebook

Like a hot chick with an active Myspace account

Like you resting in indecent contemplation of a hot chick


Alternatives to “Raise the Roof!”

“Tidy up, so this room feels more spacious!”

“Deepen the basement!”

“Content yourself with low ceilings!”

“Ingest drugs, and alter your perception of this structure’s dimensions!”
