INTERVIEWS

"I'm a lady, she's a lady, you're a lady. We're the ladies"

-Shoshanna, Girls HBO Season 1

(I should probably warn you right that I will make as many references to Girls, Shoshanna in particular, as possible because I am obsessed. It's gotten to the point that most of my responses start with "oh right, like that episode in Girls." Yes, I am a bit of a freak)

Here are a few of the ladies that I interviewed as research for my project.

um knick knacks usually just represent something, like examples could be sentimental value or wanting to repair them but never getting around to it etc. and when you have that knick knack its like a cute little memory that you don't want to part with
