‘Girls’ star Lena Dunham dishes on her thighs

Lena Dunham, who just scored a book deal for $3.5 million with Random House, seemed to be testing out new material Sunday, addressing media coverage of her thighs. “Last week I wore something to an event . . . a big top and little shorts, and a bunch of [blog posts] came out that I had been out without pants,” she quipped at a New Yorker Festival appearance. “I actually saw it . . . ‘Love it or hate it: The no pants look.’ My mom . . . thought it was so funny. My boyfriend was like, ‘People seem to be worked up about you going out without pants.’ But I didn’t go out without pants! I had shorts on. If Olivia Wilde had gone to a party in . . . little shorts, she might have been on a ‘weird dressed list’ or been told her outfit was cute. I don’t think a girl with tiny thighs would have received such no-pants attention. I think what it really was . . . ‘Why did you all make us look at your thighs?’ My response is, get used to it because I am going to live to be 100, and I am going to show my thighs every day till I die.”
