Her Musings: Ode to Jenna Marbles

I have a girl crush. I don't get them often, so when I do--it's a big deal.Youtube and Facebook shares have been blowing up everywhere about a video blogger named Jenna Mourney, aka "Jenna Marbles."

Jenna posts weekly comical videos just about her observations about society. She became a sensation with two famous videos "How to Trick People into Thinking you are Good Looking" and "How to Avoid Talking to People you Don't Want to Talk to". Here they are, if you have no seen them, because the rest of the post won't make any sense if you don't know what I am talking about.

Mourey is a college grad from who recently moved from Boston to L.A.  She posts a new video every Wednesday. And by Thursday you see at least 5 statuses or posts of people sharing her new hilarious video commentary. Mourey's videos are raw, entertaining, crude and very witty. Each of her videos gets well over a million views. So why do I love her?
Jenna Marbles is everything I love and was starting to believe did not exist in women nowadays. In entertainment girls seem to fall into two categories; the Ellens and the Kims

Ellen Degeneres is one of the greatest women in the world. She is smart, talented and overall hilarious. However no one praises her for her looks. Although looks are really not that important and Ellen is a beautiful woman. Then there are the Kims, who in my opinion is not only not talented but really she has a completely dull personality. Society separates role models into these categories, Funny friend and Bimbo beauty.


For me, Jenna Marbles breaks that mold. She takes what is great from both worlds. She does part time modeling and is ridiculously hot but she is sarcastic and sharp. She not only graduated from college but she has a Master's Degree ( which she parodies in one of her videos). She shows that girls don't need to choose from caring about looks to caring about being funny.
Girls are always typecasting each other. We assume that if a girl is gorgeous, she can't have a good personality. There are so many comments out there that Jenna Marbles is the perfect woman because she is hot and funny. So I say Halleluiah! Why can't we all be that? I am not saying that all little girls should want to grow up to be like Jenna Marbles because she is not age appropriate. But I think college freshman should take note: PERSONALITIES ARE SEXY! To score your macho frat boy you don't need to be a type. You can slap on that bandage dress and tell a funny joke all the same time. You look in the mirror and say "dang, I am one hott mama" while also knowing that you are freakin' hilarious.
So thank you Jenna, for being sexy yet sassy. And in your own words, "Keep ho-ing you ho'"
