Taylor Momsen

[yesitsdagny]

oh my, she's getting worse and worse...

 

[pengy]

what in "gottesnamen" is wrong with this girl?!

it's rather "goths-namen" in her case

she looks ridiculous and sl*tty as usually.. it doesnt even surprise or shock me anymore.

 

[Boomer]

If she is doing this to get attention, it is all negative, and if it's to shock people- it isn't shocking anymore!!

 

[#strawberry#]

I'm wondering whether the guy's her boyfriend?!?

 

[Boomer]

^ Isn't he one of the guys in her band?

I read this on Fashionista and I really see his point:

To the editors of Fashionista (Lauren and Leah, let’s not pretend we don’t know each other),
This letter is difficult for me to write, not because my heart isn’t in it, but because the subject—Taylor Momsen—has already had far too much attention from media outlets, including this one, and I am reluctant to keep feeding the beast.
I am greatly disappointed and a little disgusted at Fashionista’s continued coverage of Taylor Momsen and her band, The Pretty Reckless. Momsen’s cultivated, “shocking” antics and irresponsible behavior should earn the starlet anonymity, not attention.
I am not someone who normally goes around telling people what they should or shouldn’t say, but I write about young Hollywood, and I am particularly concerned with the current celebration of this fabricated, irresponsible little phony. Originally, I wrote off her new rocker adventure as just another starlet, accompanied by legions of producers and songwriters, taking her irrepressible talent to the recording studio—just like Lindsay Lohan, Jared Leto and Heidi Montag before her—and I paid her no mind.
Momsen’s carefully placed quotes—meant to bolster her no-bull****, rocker persona, like cursing on a morning show, and telling FHM “I am not Miley ****ing Cyrus”—were ridiculous, but harmless. She said that she’d like to be considered closer to Kurt Cobain—a notion as fantastic as it was laughable for anyone who lived during the grunge era, has listened to Nirvana’s music, or ever been to a rock show of any kind (ironically, it was Courtney Love who mocked her openly on stage at Alex Wang’s after party in 2009)—than the teeny boppers she was being lumped in
with. Judging by audience size, bank account and media attention, Taylor Momsen is certainly not Miley Cyrus; unfortunately judging by the age of her fans, she is.
With her ripped tights, raccoon makeup and faux hard sound, Momsen looked to be just another teen industry hoping to broaden her appeal from TV to music, sniffing out her own little niche in the pre-teen psyche. Fine.
And then she released this little gem to the press: “I dress like a high-class hooker.”
The majority of Momsen’s audience is made up teens and tweens, which she and her handlers know full-well, and to endorse and glamorize prostitution in any way is reprehensible and irresponsible beyond belief. Many people do not know that the average age of a sex worker during their first year of prostitution is 14 years old. And we’re not talking about Vietnam. That’s in America.
Prostitution, whether it’s “high-class” or not, should not be glorified in any way, especially not to impressionable young women and girls. It is not about a sartorial style or getting media attention because you brought down a governor, it is about coercion, poverty, drug addiction and child r*pe.
This isn’t a debate about sexualizing youth, or Momsen’s freedom to behave, dress, and give quotes however she pleases. Nor at issue is whether the mistakes of a 17-year-old, and her handlers, who have sought out the public eye, should be scorned publicly. This is a critique of our own industry, for its inability to resist the temptation to cover anything that will get us uniques and page views. Fashionista is a blog, yes, but it is also better than this.
Momsen and her people’s conscious effort to cultivate a trashy rocker vibe, which include her dress, makeup, and stage antics shouldn’t be dissected by sites like Fashionista, they should be treated as they are: the petulant, rehearsed theatrics of an indulged adolescent.
No trip to the principal’s office or the woodshed; no grounding or threats necessary; all we should do is ignore her.
Sincerely,
John Ortved

i think if she sucks her cheeks in any more during photos she's going to suffocate, or maybe swallow her tongue.

 

[colourmefashion]

she just screams fake to me.
its disgusting that such a pretty girl dresses the way she does
and im not saying she should dress like taylor swift, but at least dress more age appropriate.

she has talent, she can sing and i like TPR music, but girl needs an attitude and wardrobe adjustment big time.

the way she acts/dresses takes the attention away from the music, which is what she says shes in it for.

I refuse to believe that Cindy Lou Who from How the Grinch Stole Christmas grew up to be this.....

^ pathetic. Honestly I just can't imagine how a parent could let their chid out like that, no matter their age.

 

[lifeistiffanyblu]

someone really needs to butt in and tell her to stop this. I cannot believe her parents are approving of her barely existing outfits...they actually shouldnt be called outfits as its always missing the key element of clothing...

^ This girl just makes me sick! Does she really think she looks attractive by dressing like that and wearing that awful makeup?

 

[Anutka]

She just wants attention of her fans, who are of the same age as she or even younger. I`m pretty sure that there are plenty of teenagers who think that she is cool. Haaah, 1 more year or two and it wouldn`t work at all. I hope she and her managers realize it.

 

[Ms.Jessie]

It's amazing what the smile in the middle shot did for her. Changed how I felt about her..... until I scrolled down. If you recall dressing sl*tty worked for Britney Spears because of her personality. Try it T Moms.

 

[fluxxx]

oooh I love this thread
I always had a good laugh after seeing photos of her and her super awesome personal style LMAO

 

[Mierr]

It is sad to write this, but she looks so ugly when she smiles. I bet she would look so much better without that makeup, its just not practical.
