Jamie Babbit directed this week’s episode of Girls, which also had Jenna Lyons as a guest star. The out creative director of J. Crew talked with Vulture about the experience. On meeting Lena Dunham:

“We had met probably about two years ago, at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards, and in her speech she said, “Thank you so much, Jenna Lyons, for making me wear shorts, although it’s not going very well.” At the end of the night after the dinner, I went up to her and I said, “Sorry!” And then we started to talk and we started a text friendship and started to hang out a little bit when I’d see her at events.

Kimberly Peirce talked with ELLE about Boys Don’t Cry, 20 years after it came out. An excerpt:

I definitely run the gamut: I’ve been feminine, I’ve been tomboyish, I’ve been straight. I’m currently engaged to a woman. I am pretty open-minded. I relate to Brandon’s desire and his audacity for living as he needed and wanted to live. I’ve been attracted to beautiful women as Brandon was. I’m a performer. I like to wear a nice suit or a tux. My family is from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a small, working class town. I’ve known physical and sexual violence and I felt that that violence killed off parts of myself. I’ve also seen betrayals up close. There were things in my life that intersected with Brandon’s story that enabled me to get inside of it in ways that were unique and truthful.
