Do You Want To Fund Planned Parenthood By Buying The Dress Lena Dunham Cried On When Hillary Lost?

No, of course you don’t. You’re relatively normal and mostly sane. But somebody does. Or at least Lena and PP think somebody does.

Judy Kurtz, The Hill:

Lena Dunham is selling the dress she says she cried in on election night last year, when President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.

The Kenzo ruffle-accented printed dress is one of more than a hundred items up for grabs from the former “Girls” star as part of a sale on the RealReal, an online fashion consignment store…

“I realized I had been carrying around a lot of crap, both internally and externally,” Dunham, 31, told The New York Times in a Monday story. All proceeds from Dunham’s commission from the sales will go to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, according to the Times.

Say what you want, but this is exactly how Planned Parenthood should be funded: voluntarily.

It seems like more and more people have given up pretending they like Lena Dunham, or Katy Perry, or Lady Gaga, or any of the other people we were supposed to listen to before the election. I don’t know if that’s just the fleeting nature of fame, or if everybody finally realized that celebrities don’t necessarily know what they’re talking about, or what. All I know if that there will be no shortage of contestants when Celebrity Rehab inevitably returns. (RIP, Jeff Conaway.)
