Email newsletters are the new thing. The Skimm, Goop, Mister Spoils. For whatever reason, companies have found that harvesting their user’s emails is lucrative as hell.

I’m not going to act like I don’t watch Girls and haven’t read Not That Kind of Girl. I do and I have. Lena Dunham is the entertainment community’s most polarizing figure right now and I’ve become a pawn in her game.
