DIANNA AGRON X NYLON
The Glee star wears retro clothes while looking towards the future.
For the millions of fans who watch Glee every week, Dianna Agron is the amusingly cruel and jaggedly sweet recovering cheerleader Quinn Fabray. But as we learned during our days with Agron in California, the actress behind TV's most complex Queen Bee is thoughtful, mature, and more into photography than playing mind games. As her new website, You, Me, and Charlie, gears up for launch next week, we asked Agron to describe her online venture, and what else happens after the Glee Live! tour...
On her new website, You and Me and Charlie: "It's mainly arts-based, but it's also a forum for people to love and support each other. I realized that just by posting something, I can really influence someone's day."
On her Glee alter ego: "Especially in the beginning, [reporters] really wanted us to be like our characters, to simplify things... I was playing a well put-together popular character, and they were trying to push me into it, like that had been my entire life. And the whole time, my teenage self was crying at that."
On her actual high school persona:
"We watched Practical Magic and all of those movies, like The Craft. My friend's mom had all these Stevie Nicks outfits, and we'd gypsy dance in her living room and have seances. We'd mix all these things from the refrigerator together and we'd look at it and be like, 'This means you're going to find true love when you'r 18 years old'."
On her Glee audition:
"They were going to scrap the character but Robert [Ulrich, the casting director] asked for one more chance. I went in and read, and they called me bak two days later, and he told me to come back and straighten my hair, and wear something sexy. I was like, 'First of all, what is..."sexy"?'...I went to like, a CVS, and bought a straightener and straightened it at Starbucks."
On Quinn Fabray's future: "Essentially, I'm a senior, so, I'll probably graduate this year."

Awesome pictures and great styling, but I'm sorry to all of her fans; this girl is basic as hell. She's trying too hard to be "different" and unique, when honestly being a pretty face and playing to that would work just as well for her. She's not a particularly good actress or singer, but she does seem to be a well-intentioned young lady, if only she would stop with the pretentious attitude and realize she's nothing too special.

I'm not much a fan of her, nor am I a fan of the Glee mania, but she does look beautiful in those clothes and hair, it's very Edie Sedgwick, and I love Edie <3, nice cover and nice way to start the big 12! xo

She's simply gorgeous, the dream of every make-up artist. Any look is amazing on her and she sports the 60's feel so freakin' well. Twiggy-like. Lovely clothes, and I enjoyed the interview as well. Didn't know she was into art. I'll def buy this Jan cover
