GossipGeek EXCLUSIVE: Famed Harvard Author Lena Chen '09 Endorses Flores-McLeod!

In the pantheon of Harvard celebrities, there are fledgling half-deity freshmen, miscellaneous second-rate gods that often appear in nude magazines, titans that once reigned but now wield extraordinary power from afar (we're looking at you, Nate Dern '07!). And then, of course, there are the great Olympians, the megastars that make Brad Pitt look like Don Johnson and Natalie Portman ('03 I guess) look like Phoebe Cates.

Lena Chen '09 is a presence on this campus to be reckoned with, rivaled only be her male counterpart, the Eros to her Aphrodite, Petros '09. Between her two major publications- her blog Sex and the Ivy and her latest Tumblr endeavor, the Chicktionary- and her staunch advocacy for BGLT rights, she has, to understate it, made a name for herself here. So much so that, in order to maintain her ego in check, GossipGeek once had one rule and one rule only, dubbed the "Lena Chen rule": her picture was always to remain on our header, but we must never speak her name.

We break this rule in the interest of politics.

Lena Chen has a message for America- er, anyone who gives a shit about the UC, which is all of you, froshies!:

I support [Andrea] Flores '10 [and Kia McLeod '10] because she once walked in on me mid-hookup during her door-to-door campaigning for the UC and handled it like a true president. Instead of launching into a stump speech, she left as quickly as possible. That's what we need -- a president who will give students exactly what they want.

Something to keep in mind when you go to the voting laptops next week! Also, Roger Waite '10 endorsed Ben Schwartz '10, hoping Schwartz would take up his platform of replacing the UC with a Hapsburg prince and causing the latter candidate much more stress than he really needed at the moment.

P.S.- In looking for glamour-fab pics of Lena on her Facebook, we couldn't help but notice the hilariously unexpected presence of a certain, ahem, election commissioner in her albums. We're not mean enough to reproduce the photos, but we find this friendship somewhat suspect, given Lena Chen's close relationship with Andrea Flores (her walking in during a hook-up, etc).
