Op, did you see that she's the man fucked her up for a while bc it was really jarring seeing the dude version of herself?

[lcganlerman]

i really reccomend watching these videos because while the makeup and hair might have looked like they didn't put a lot of effort, basically it fucked her up because at the time she sorta wanted to be girly and play roles other than tomboyish funny girls so seeing lindsay thriving while she was being typecast messed her up

Me, like once a week: wow, pop culture really did die in 2009

I think I liked her on what o like about you. Can't remember.

Her sketch show was miles funnier than anything snl has done in my lifetime. Same with all that.

I remember walking to class in NYC while she was walking around in a very tattered blonde wig and without shoes. I vividly remember paparazzi following her around and yelling at her for attention and also that there were folks on the street yelling at them to leave her alone.

I hope that she's doing better and feeling better. She was hysterical and had genuine, genuine comedic talent.

IDK what happened, Hollywood is a weird place, exploitative space and yeah...

She really did have great comedic timing. Of all the girls from that time (Lindsay, Hilary, etc.), I thought she would end up with the longest, best career.
