It’s hard to tell who is most damaged right now; Jenny has just fled Gossip Girl having hit rock bottom by sleeping with Chuck and Taylor Momsen has been pictured in the kind of clothes that would make my mum blush…actually forget my mum, they're making me blush!
What’s pretty disturbing is both Taylor and the character she portrays are only 17, although you’d never be able to tell; both have a fond love of raccoon eyes and suspender belts which make them look in their late twenties, and that’s me being kind.
Taylor’s arguably much more outspoken what with her vibrator comment last week, in addition to sacking her stylist and swearing left right and centre.
That said, Jenny’s no saint- last season alone she became a drug dealer, tried to seduce Nate while he was with Serena, lied to her dad on average about four times an episode and then went and slept with Chuck. Real life is never this dramatic!
Being a bad ass apparently pays off though, as Taylor’s ‘I don’t give a toss’ attitude has generated so much publicity she’s now been picked to model Madonna’s Material Girl line and been announced as the face of Galliano’s new fragrance.
Jenny meanwhile has been let off the hook for all the trouble she caused, by going off to Hudson for the summer for some quiet reflective time. Lol I don’t buy that for a second- you know she’ll be back to cause mayhem come September.
I really disliked the direction they took Jenny in last season and it seemed that once she took a downward spiral, Taylor emerged as this Courtney Love clone with a whole new attitude to match.
The reason I find both of them so hard to separate is because they so blatantly changed at the same time. Once upon a time Taylor and Jenny were all sweetness and light in cute dresses and coloured tights. Now they both look like they’ve stepped out of a Gothic horror movie/strip joint.
Suspenders and stripper shoes are not a good look on anyone and yet this is all Taylor seems to have in her wardrobe. Jenny is mildly better; at least she wears more than her underwear!
Yet despite it all, I can’t help but like Taylor a wee bit- I know, I'm a total hypocrite- as we should, in theory be shocked about her behaviour, but hell, she’s pretty damn brave wearing what she wears and acting like she does.
No-one else could get away with it and it seems people like her as much as hate her. She’s clearly hot property right now, so what do you think- do you love or loathe the new Queen of controversy?
