Taylor Momsen Is A Revolver

I for one really like Taylor Momsen's band The Pretty Reckless and her grungy baby doll style but for all the fans there are an equally amount of hatters. Those like Perez Hilton... who have called her a prostitot and other nasty names fail to realize just how normal her behavior is when it comes to young girls growing up in the music industry. Seeing her on the cover of Revolver I could already hear the backlash of people sharpening their claws to rip her a new asshole on how she should and shouldn't dress/act. So take a look at Britney spears before she was legal on the cover of a magazine:
So I ask you is she really being so inappropriate? I know even Britney Spears received some back lash for this cover but she was also extremely popular and at the top of the charts when this came out. She wasn't being called a baby prostitute and worse! An Taylor Momsen isn't even showing as much skin or being as sexually suggestive. I think the real problem people are having is that she is not trying to be a pop star if she was I doubt she'd be getting as much backlash. It's acceptable and even standard really for pop singers to exploit their sexuality and show lots of skin but for someone who's music is more rock and roll and who's style is darker they're more offended. I wonder why that is?

Spin Goes Reckless

I just kinda adore her!

When Reckless Music Works

I can't really stress enough just how impressed and excited I am about The Pretty Reckless. My only qualm is with the marketing. I think much like everyone else that it's Taylor Momsens band... and I guess in reality it is. She was signed and then ditched all of her original band only to replace them... granted with much more talented musicians. The new sound she has in her demo songs and her recent performaces is 10x more matured and put together than it was when she was touring with the veronicas at first. The big question is what songs are going to make it onto her album? The reality is she has a LOT of great songs that won't make the cut. I also have to mention that the Kick-Ass soundtrack is amazing! Below is a cool video I found on spin.com that lets you meet the other band members as they discuss the colabortion process and the status of the new album.
Below videos of some of my favorite songs by them:

The Grunge Princess

Taylor Momsen's style has continued to evolve into an edgy underground princess themed tribute to grunge and lingerie and I just love these photos I found of her, I don't know when they were published or in what magazine. I recently read that she doesn't like pants and prefers skirts or tights and since she can rock just about anything I can see her coming out with her own clothing line or something before she's 20. I'll be reviewing her music in an upcoming post which is surprisingly really good.
