“We are so pleased toannounce Lenny, the new email newsletter from @jennikonner & me. Feminism, style, health, politics; we will striveto bring it all to your inbox and to highlight unique voices. We sure hopeyours is one of them. So get in bed with us at lennyletter.com (link also inbio.) LYLAS @lennyletter,” she captioned the pic of her and co creator JenniKonner lounging and gazing into the camera.
In an interview with Buzfeed, Taylor Swift’s BFF spoke about the newsletter, which will feature her writing and how it isn’t just forfeminists, but it's also for people who love and support the movement or just needfashion advice. “We want people who havetotally diverse interest,” the Girls star said. “People who want to talk aboutradical politics but also want to talk about fashion and also want to talkabout Rihanna, and also understand that all of those things can be happening atthe same time.”
Lena is joining the likes ofGwyneth Paltrow and Blake Lively in producing a lifestyle site from theirpoint of view. Lena mentioned finding inspiration in Gwyneth’s site Goop. “Jenni and I have always beenobsessed with Goop. We feel strongly that if even some of it is aspirational,it’s aspirations like ‘I want to know how to take care of my body and soufflé’something.’”

Body issues will be one ofthe topics the newsletter covers. On Monday, during a Film Society Lincoln Center panel in New York Citywith Girls writer Judd Apatow, Lena confessed that walking alongside some of the industry's top models at Taylor's "1989" show in East Rutherford, New Jersey didn't exactly make her feel stellar.
“I’ve been feeling prettytall, feeling pretty sturdy, and it was amazing to me like, ‘Oh, I’m not thattall, I’m chubby,” she said on gracing the stage with Taylor, Lily Aldridge, Gigi Hadid and Hailee Steinfeld. “On most days, I feelgreat and fine about my body, but I don’t think standing next to, like threesupermodels or so is anything even the most confident woman needs to do.”
