Our nosy neighbor side was thrilled when* G**irls* actress Jemima Kirke let New York Magazine photograph her over the course of a day in her home and around her Brooklyn neighborhood. We love a good keyhole moment, especially when the subject is as cool and fascinating as Kirke. Her house is exactly as we imagined it would be: filled with vintage furniture, chic wallpaper and a basement apartment she uses as an art studio.
Here’s what we learned about Jemima from the tour of her home:
-
She gives her husband Mike homemade tattoos Apparently, he even has ‘eat me’ on his calf, courtesy of her.
-
They watch TV. We are so relieved to find out she’s not one of those ‘I don’t have a TV’ types. We always find that so contradictory in an actor.
-
They have friends over every night until around midnight. Including Mike’s best friend Brian, who’s slammin’ hot.
-
They do Shabbat dinner, since Mike is ‘super-Jew and super-corporate’. What attracted her to him was how opposite they are.
-
She’s not into ‘mommy groups’, but does have friends who happen to be mums, and they talk about things other than their kids.
-
Every time Mike sees her naked, he hugs her. It’s just an excuse to grab her bum, though, she says.
