Sometimes it is hard for my mind to wrap around the idea that the Taylor Momsen of today was once the cute little Jenny Humphrey.  It makes sense of course, no one is the same person at 20 that they were at 15 (I hope!  Nothing sadder than someone stuck in adultlescence).  But it still just feels very different.  I have mentioned before I do feel kind of bad for her.  I mean she seems to like what she does now, which is good, but I have sensed dissatisfaction with how she grew up.  I get that, too, child stardom seems like a strange thing to force upon a kid.  I mean… I don’t know, I have no soapbox for this but even when it doesn’t end badly giving a child a career feels like it could rob them of some of the essential parts of being a kid. Or not.  I don’t know, I am rambling, I think she is pretty though she doesn’t pop up on my radar very often, I know I have followers who are way, way more into her than I am.  That always makes me feel like a poser.  It’s ok, when I was a kid there wasn’t even anything called soft grunge, there was just grunge which was a bullshit marketing term adults came up with to sell us flannel once Nirvana broke.  What I am saying is i get rebellion and anger but it will be co-opted and sold back to you one day.  And that has nothing to do with the fact that today I want to fuck Taylor Momsen.
