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:

  1. She gives her husband Mike homemade tattoos Apparently, he even has ‘eat me’ on his calf, courtesy of her.

  2. 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.

  3. They have friends over every night until around midnight. Including Mike’s best friend Brian, who’s slammin’ hot.

  4. They do Shabbat dinner, since Mike is ‘super-Jew and super-corporate’. What attracted her to him was how opposite they are.

  5. She’s not into ‘mommy groups’, but does have friends who happen to be mums, and they talk about things other than their kids.

  6. Every time Mike sees her naked, he hugs her. It’s just an excuse to grab her bum, though, she says.
