A lot of things that Taylor Momsen usually says leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. She’s a sixteen-year old girl who displays this attitude of “not giving a f—,” but I can’t help but wonder every time if this is just some sort of an act. Why so much angst?
In a recent interview w/ Parade, Taylor Momsen finally said something that made sense. For the first time, I have found myself agreeing with her.
“I don’t read that crap that describes me as having an attitude, but I don’t know why that’s a bad thing. Attitude is in the eye of the beholder. I didn’t get into this to be a role model for 7-year-olds. I have no interest in doing that, you know? If parents don’t like some of the stuff I do then they shouldn’t let their kids watch me.
I smoke, so what? Why do people give a sh*t what a 16-year-old girl who they’ve never met does? It’s not like I’m sitting there going, ‘Kids, you should go buy a pack of cigarettes.’ When I walk outside with a cigarette and someone takes a picture of it and puts it on the Internet, it’s not my problem. I’m just living my life and I’m not gonna live my life for other people.”
She makes a good point. She’s no Miley, Selena, Demi, or Taylor Swift. She wasn’t in this to have little girls looking up to her. There are plenty of other 16-year old girls that smoke, I remember it around me in high school. So I guess…good for Taylor, for not conforming to be that role model. There are enough of those out there right now anyways.

The first Red Robin ever near the University of Washington on 3272 Fuhrman Ave. E is set to close at the end of March. Well sort of. March 21st, happens to be the birthday of my best friend, who happened to work there for almost three years, at least two years. So Red Robin holds a very soft spot in my heart and although I’ve never eaten at this location, it is the first original Red Robin. Ever.
That’s like saying you’re going to close down the first Starbucks at Pike Place Market. That’s just not going to happen. Turns out the reason that the closing is happening at all is because the historical building that it is in is just getting too expensive, therefore, the general manager has decided “not to renew their lease”.

Some people are actually so upset w/ the closing that they decided to start a Facebook group about it in hopes to keep the restaurant open. It’s just the thing to do these days… click here to view.

“I don’t do nudes, I don’t do semi-nudes, I don’t do cigarette shots,” Coco Rocha was saying on Sunday evening before the Diane Von Frustenberg show at the Bryant Park tents. “It took me a long time in the business to realize I didn’t have to do everything people told me I should if I wanted a career.”

At just 21 years old, Coco Rocha, is the model with a name familiar to nearly everyone in the fashion industry. She describes herself as, “6 inches taller and 10 sizes smaller than the average American woman…” but just this week she took notice of some not-very-nice comments splashed across the pages of The New York Daily News and The New York Times with the headline, “Coco Rocha is too fat for the runway.”
With headlines like these, what is the general public supposed to think? Being skinny isn’t enough because that’s what Coco Rocha already is. She’s skinny. Now we have to throw up and starve ourselves to be a less fatter version of Coco Rocha? The media and those who create these headlines are giving us impossible standards to live up to. Once we reach them, we put our lives and health on the line.
“How can any person justify an aesthetic that reduces a woman or child to an emaciated skeleton? Is it art? Surely fashion’s aesthetic should enhance and beautify the human form, not destroy it.”
Coco addressed these headlines on her most recent post from her blog, “Oh So Coco.” Please read it as she is absolutely correct! Thanks Coco for standing up because otherwise we would all still strive to be what doesn’t exist. Remember this controversial ad that Ralph Lauren released late last year?
Yeah, I don’t like it either.

“It may be a stretch, but is wanting to wear somebody’s clothes that different from wanting to wrap yourself up in their skin, like that guy in The Silence of the Lambs?”
- LAPD Officer Brett Goodkin, the lead investigator in the case of Alexis Neiers and the Bling Ring. (Vanity Fair)

Pretty face. Innocent look. Non-alcoholic drink. The girl looks so carefree at the wheel. Oh how a Vanity Fair shoot can be deceiving…
She could have been an Ally Hilfiger with her own reality show (Rich Girls) or a spokesperson like Lily Collins.
It’s a little too late for that now seeing as how young Alexis is about to head straight into super stardom…behind bars that is.
Alexis was the daughter of a former playmate and the director of photography for hit television show, “Friends.” She could have had everything. In fact, she did have everything. She was the definition of a LA party girl. Creating a name for herself on the party scene, E! had offered her and her friend their own reality show titled, “Pretty Wild,” to be aired in March. However, that is all on hold now as she is a suspect in the celebrity burglaries of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Rachel Bilson just to name a few. The very same ones we have been hearing about in the news. Alexis never acted alone, and she is no amateur, in fact they are professional enough to call themselves “The Bling Ring.”
“According to VF, the kids were accused of stealing $130,000 in clothes and jewelry from both Lohan and Bilson, for example. When cops arrived at Neiers’ home with a search warrant, they found a Marc Jacobs handbag allegedly belonging to Bilson and a Chanel necklace allegedly belonging to Lohan. Yet Neiers insisted to Vanity Fair, “I have receipts for everything.”
When asked how Alexis felt about this whole situation she responded, “I’m a firm believer in Karma, and I think this situation was attracted into my life because it was supposed to be a huge learning lesson for me to grow and expand as a spiritual human being. I see myself being like an Angelina Jolie but even stronger, pushing even harder for the universe and for peace and for the health of our planet. God didn’t give me these talents and looks to just sit around being a model or being famous. I want to lead a huge charity organization. I want to lead a country, for all I know.”
Yeah, good luck Alexis!

Being mean never gets you anywhere. Instead you become someone that people do not respect and do not want to be around. I’m not saying you have to be super nice all the time and perfect, but by intentionally hurting someone, what kind of satisfaction are you achieving exactly?
If you were a bully in grade school, shame on you. I can only remember one from my life when I was a young girl. It’s funny, now watching movies and television shows where bullies still seem to be frequent characters. They’re much more dramatic in their shows HOBviously because they’re acting.
The one bully I remember, let’s call him “Austin,” was a menace. In kindergarten, I had brought my Polly Pocket set to show and tell and the next thing I knew, one of them had gone missing. It was not a coincidence. Other incidents followed. So where is Austin now? Nobody knows. I”m sure I could Facebook him and see if I really cared, but my guesses and checks have told me that he has been in and out of school since I last saw him when I was ten.
What I am getting at is that, I hope you have all had a chance to beat your bully demons. These people devoted their lives to making you feel so bad about yours and in the end, it’s you that came out on top. Bullies are losers.
In Complex Magazine, an article was featured on how actress Michelle Tractenberg overcame this phase in her life, “In elementary school, she says, a girl threw her down a flight of stairs, broke her ribs, punched and fractured her nose, and then lied about her. In junior high, a gang of girls pushed Michelle into lockers and stole her clothes after gym so she wouldn’t have anything to wear. Then in high school, a girl who had a drug addiction made Michelle’s life a “living hell” and even hurled a vodka bottle at her head once. But Michelle was able to get a little revenge on the girl who pushed her down the stairs. As she left a restaurant, a group of about 20 paparazzi were outside and she said to the bully, “Oh, I’m sorry. I’m really famous. They need to take my picture. Sucks for you!”
Stomp the yard on them bullies.
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Gossip Girl, Haiti, Print, Quotes, Taylor Momsen, Teen Vogue, Television, Victoria's Secret
For several months, I have been reading articles about Taylor Momsen. She spoke about how when she first appeared on Gossip Girl she was someone that she wasn’t. Really? The cute, smiley, chirpy, blonde girl wasn’t you? Apparently not. Taylor underwent a major transformation. She traded in her bright dresses for lots of black and let slip news that she was the lead singer of a band – a band that really rocks out a little too hard for many people’s tastes – and that she had a much darker side. She then basically put down everyone in her age group by saying she was more mature than most of them in Teen Vogue.
“Most of my friends are older, too. I live a very adult life: I have two different careers; I’m on tour. What am I going to do, hang out with the high school kids?”
Okay Taylor, we get it. You’re really yourself now and you’re an actress, a singer, and a model. Essentially a triple threat and now you are with Victoria’s Secret advertising a new scent. But I’ve got proof that you’re still as young as you actually are!
When Taylor was recently asked if she would join in with other celebrities to help ask for donations for Haiti she responded:
“Um, right now I’m trying to just finish my record and getting through the last season of ‘Gossip Girl’ for right now. So not so much thinking about that … But it’s awesome that everyone is ya know working towards a good cause.”
Saying you are mature and being mature are two different things.

Carey Mulligan is a British born actress who is quickly making a name for herself in the states. You may have recently seen her in movies such as “Brothers” or “An Education,” but don’t worry, there are no signs of her slowing down just yet. According to IMDB, there are five movies that are currently in post and pre-production. You would think that traveling to the states for work could get a little lonely, but she’s not alone. This talented actress also has an equally talented boyfriend: Mr. Shia Labeouf.
