VIDEO: Emmy Fashion Fails! See Who Missed the Mark!

Did Halloween come early? That’s what we were thinking when Lena Headey, Amanda Peet and Aubrey Plaza hit the red carpet at Sunay night’s Emmy Awards. The three actresses all chose similar looks, and with the all the black and lace, the only thing that’s missing are the broomsticks! Carrie Underwood’s hair and make-up were perfection, but her dress did not blow us away, not even a little! Her Romona Keveza gown was way too over the top and way too purple! Check it out!

Faux Lena Dunham’s ‘ZDT’ Parody

“If I really have to water-board you, that is really gonna scar me, like, emotionally.”

What do you get when you cross Girls creator/star Lena Dunham with the Oscar-nominated film Zero Dark Thirty? This week’s most recent viral video, a YouTube parody that blends the hard-hitting drama of Zero Dark Thirty with the cupcake-loving on-screen persona of Dunham’s Girls character, Hannah Horvath.

“Lena Dunham’s Audition for Zero Dark Thirty,” features the Girls star—portrayed here by 24-year-old comedian Chelsea Davison—reciting a monologue for Kathryn Bigelow’s 2012 Osama Bin Laden manhunt film, is steadily picking up online traffic after it was posted on YouTube Tuesday, thanks to mentions on Mashable, Salon, and the Hollywood Reporter.

The video, which is just over two-minutes in length and cost only $ 100 to produce (including the purchase of “a dozen delicious cupcakes,”) showcases “Dunham” in typical Girls garb—a flowery blouse, magenta cardigan, and even a bob-length wavy wig, auditioning for the controversial flick, complete with cupcake in hand.

“It’s always fun to parody the stuff you admire,” Davison told The Daily Beast on Wednesday.

Davison, like Dunham’s Hannah on HBO’s Girls, lives in New York City, and admits to being a big fan of both Zero Dark Thirty and Girls. Davison was rehearsing for an improv comedy set at the PIT (The People’s Improv Theater) in NYC, when the idea for the parody came to her.

“[Dunham] has such a unique voice, both in how she speaks and in the things she says,” Davison said. “Because the character makes everything about her, I knew I wanted to find a very serious, totally inappropriate setting in which to put her. It really magnifies those traits when you see it against something so different.” And Zero Dark Thirty made for the perfect backdrop.

To prepare to shoot the video, Davison watched a marathon of Girls episodes, but taming her normally long, fiery red hair proved to be the biggest challenge. She tried dying it, different wigs, and in the end, still thinks the finished effect isn’t quite right.

But clearly, fans were convinced by her impression, or at least entertained by it. One YouTube commenter wrote of the video, “Holy crap, when I saw this on HP, thought it actually was Lena…perfect impression.” Another commented, “SNL, here she comes…”

As of press time, Davison hadn’t heard whether Dunham had seen the spoof, but Davison thinks Dunham—who has proven willing in the past to skewer her persona—would probably find it funny.

One of the crucial elements in HBO’s NSFW series Girls, is nudity – more specifically, Dunham’s constant and unapologetic full-frontal scenes. Davison recognizes this in her video, and at one point she even starts unbuttoning her blouse, thinking the script indicates her to get naked. “No,” says the unseen director, “you strip the prisoner.” And when the director turns her down for a naked scene, “Dunham” offers an alternative: sex on camera. “If you look at my resume under the skills section,” she says, “those are all positions that are totally fine with me.”

Davison almost took it to Lena Dunham levels: “In earlier takes, my boyfriend, the guy playing the reader, didn’t interrupt me soon enough so I just kept unbuttoning the dress, which was funny, but probably would’ve needed some blurring for YouTube.”

But while Davison sees Dunham’s body as a possible comedic probe, it’s also a statement about freedom from self-guilt: “While nudity is an easy joke, as a female performer with a body not terribly unlike Lena’s, it’s pretty inspiring how open she is,” said Davison.
