I have been thinking about Taylor Momsen and really over-thinking about her of late.  I have a habit of over-thinking things, I know this might surprise you, I run a blog where I often write 500 words about my libido, you’re probably stunned that I over intellectualize things.  But I was thinking about her and about a bit of a generational divide on her.  I hear a lot about people loving her when I post her and from what I can tell those people are younger.  In general, if older people know who she is they kind of have an eye roll thing and they seem to think she is not for real.  What stands out to me is when she basically stopped acting and mentioned that her life had never been her own, she’d been acting and modeling since she was 3 and basically wished she had a childhood.  Really it seemed to me that what she was wishing for was agency.  So it strikes me as a little disingenuous when adults roll their eyes at that because… I have a lot of years on Taylor Momsen, I have to work another 7 years to match the amount of time she has sunk into her professional career.  Most people are about 40 when they have been working as long as her and no one is bothered that they are jaded about their job.  More importantly I am going to say what I never understand is why adults roll their eyes when teenagers do exactly what we all did, which is rebel against authority.  Just because in this case the patriarchy she is struggling against is embodied by the corporate structure of big time showbiz instead of her dad doesn’t make it somehow less valid.  Or I could be wrong, these are the thoughts I have had about why she seems to connect with some people so strongly.  I guess I dislike the condescension of adults sometimes, that we know what is real and genuine and idiot kids have no idea, because putting up a middle finger at the world at 20 can be embarrassing in retrospect but was pretty genuine for most of us at that time.  So that’s why she’s here today, I have been thinking about all of that.  Also because she’s pretty.  Today I want to fuck Taylor Momsen.
