CAN’T HARDLY WAIT…for January 12th, when we get to see all the ‘Girls’ back in action. A second trailer for the series was released yesterday, and it’s loaded with some telling previews. For starters, Hannah is actually being taken seriously by a publisher (she is the voice of our generation, of course!) and Marnie remains quite tender from her first brush with self-doubt. Shoshanna is still showing everybody whose “boss” with her sage one- liners, and as always, with Jessa, it remains unclear.

The trailer also shows Hannah and Adam in the bath! So that’s totally on. So curious to see what unfolds with Shosh and Ray. See below for some Girls goodness.

It’s time to throw out that old “I’m a Carrie” baby tee, ladies (you probably should have done that a while ago), the new way to identify yourself with a character on a popular HBO show is with your fingernails. That’s right, the latest phase of world Dunhamination is here: Girls character-inspired nail polish.

Dunham partnered with nail polish guru Deborah Lippmann for a limited edition four-color nail polish collection that can be yours for only $45. Finally, the world will know right away whether you’re a Marnie (Prim And Proper Pink), Jessa (Bohemian Burgundy), Hannah (Hapless Hunter Green), or our favorite, Shoshanna (Virtuous Vivid Violet, obviously).

What color are you? When it comes to thematic nail polish, we’re still on team Russ and Daughters.

This Sunday night, the 64th annual Emmy Awards will honor the best in television. Each year a handful of episodes from each of the nominated series are selected to showcase a show’s best work. Since we’re in the business of honoring the best in Jewish television, we present the top five Jewish moments from this year’s Emmy-nominated shows, from Palestinian chicken and Camp Ramah to terrorists and concentration camps.

1. Curb Your Enthusiasm (Season 8: “Palestinian Chicken”)

Larry (Larry David) and Jeff (Jeff Garlin) try a new popular Palestinian chicken place and deem it the perfect place for Jewish men to bring their mistresses since no Jews would ever eat there. (Alan Dershowitz even sent Bibi a copy!)

Air Date: July 24, 2011
Choice Line: “We’re probably the only Jews that have ever walked in here.”

2. Homeland (Season 1: “The Weekend”)

Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin) opens up about his lonely Jewish upbringing to his terrorist suspect passenger while driving back to CIA headquarters, creating an unexpected parallel between their situations.

Air Date: Nov. 13, 2011
Choice Line: “I’d gladly say their prayers, sing the songs. I just wanted to not be alone.”

Unfortunately a YouTube clip doesn’t exist (let us know in the comments if you find one!), but the entire episode is available on iTunes—the scene starts at the 37-minute mark.

3. Boardwalk Empire (Season 2: “To The Lost”)

Butcher Manny Horvitz hides out in the basement of a synagogue as he nostalgically remembers his Ukrainian past and plots out his future.

Air Date: Dec. 11, 2012
Choice Line: “I wake up sometimes and think I’m still there [Odessa], 12 years old, my whole life ahead of me, but then I realize I’m in America. That world is gone.”

4. Mad Men (Season 5: “Far Away Places”)

Copywriter Michael Ginsberg (Ben Feldman), explicitly hired to appease Jewish client Manischewitz, reveals that he was born in a concentration camp, turning a punch line about the token Jew into a far more serious self-reflective matter that haunts the office.

Air Date: April 22, 2012
Choice Line: “Are there others like you?” / “I don’t know, I haven’t been able to find any.”

Again, there’s no YouTube clip available, but the entire episode is on iTunes—the scene starts at the 12 minute mark.

5. Girls (Season 1: “Hannah’s Diary”)

The excitable Shoshanna runs into an old friend who remembers her best from a raid she led during their days together at Camp Ramah.

Air Date: May 6, 2012
Choice Line: “You led the most intense kitchen raid I ever saw in my time as a junior counselor.”
