Fug or Fab: Taylor Momsen

Okay, let's take everything we know about T. Mom and set it aside: the years of cranky expressions (including this one), KISS-inspired face paint, and general surly mien. Cleanse your Momsen palate. Pretend you've never seen this girl before. You have fashion amnesia:

91999434.jpg

What do you think? "Wow, that cranky-looking girl in the flesh-colored number is pulling that whole look off in a way I would not have anticipated, if I knew anything about her, which I don't. Where am I again?" or "I find those fishnets a brave and intriguing choice. This irritated looking woman reminds me of a vaguely sexy zombie! I love it! What's my name?" or "What a bowl of surprisingly delicious oatmeal! Once this woman -- whomever she may be -- cuts loose those flammable extensions, she'll look positively fashion-forward! Who are you again?" or "Ew, AGAIN, person on CW? WHY?"

I love that dorky joke like a Kit-Kat with mint frosting.

I would think "Such a pretty girl. What sort of self-image problem does she have to think she needs all that eye make-up and nasty blond hair?"

I think I would like it better if she didn't suddenly remind me of Rachel Zoe. I think it's the hair.

I actually have no problem with the dress, or the fishnets or the dorky joke (which I love actually). My issue with the dress is what it does to her hair color. It makes it really obvious that it's just really horrible. If the color were softer, I'd like it better. Add softer makeup because I don't like the raccoon look and I would be all "Wow...she'd be pretty...if she got that surly look off of her face."

I am just old enough to be really irritated by young people with that look of "I am so bored by all of this, what a chore. Yawn." I grew up in the 80s, we had great music (no, we did) but the fashion, while fun was not the high point and none of us EVER looked this surly. We had Duran Duran, it was enough.

I gotta say, I like most of it. The dress and accessories are great. The fishnets and eye make up... not so much. And I wish the hair was up. But overall, much better than usual for Little J!

I'd think "She looks cranky because she's hungry. Wash that lovely young lady's face, give her a cheeseburger, and change the shade of the dress so it doesn't look like the curtains in my Aunt Nora the chain smoker's living room. Also, some lowlighting of the hair wouldn't hurt."

I wish this photo had Mr. Potato Head's ability to switch out just the eyes and hair. Why does little J always pack the angry eyes?

Her gold bracelet and the fishnets don't go with the nifty deco-belt. Ditch them and just hem it up a bit and she's all set. The raccoon eyes and yeech hair are her schtick and probably won't go away for a while.

Musical theater humor is NEVER dorky. Well played, Jessica!

Without that godawful hair color and black eyes it would be lovely - but those completely ruin it.

Let's start with the hair. No, no, and no. The extensions are horrible and the color is best left to the Fraggle it came from

The eye make up is frightening.I'm all for vamping it up if there's a big evening thing to go to, but this crosses into the realm of "goth hooker chic".

The dress isn't bad. The only problem I have with it is the color. That flesh tone washes her out completely so all you actually see are raccoon eyes and Mr. Ed's ratted out tail. I think that a bold jewel tone or even a flattering shade of pink would have worked far better.

The fishnets almost ruin the outfit itself, though. Aren't fishnets for Halloween and strippers? That they look like an afterthought just makes it all worse.

She looks fabulous from the neck down.

Am I the only one who thinks that she would look much better as a brunette without all those ratty extensions? The raccoon eyes, of course, also have to go.

wait wait wait, I don't get it! But I want to get it! Was Jean Valjean an oatmeal colored zombie at some point?

In other news, neck down yay, extensions up, boo. I'm considering starting an emergency eye makeup remover fund for T.Moms, and using the surplus to buy her some brown hair dye.

The dorky (but wonderful and will make me sing all day) joke was as apt as can be: TM truly looks miserable.

How can you not love an inside Les Miz joke? Made my day.

Midriff holes are...random and unattractive in an otherwise fine dress but THE HAIR - is beyond horrific. I think I could like with the rest of it, but EVERYTHING about that hair is just uck. I think it's actually the colour of those nicotine stained teeth you see in all the dental whitening ads. Without that, it'd be blah, with it, it's fug.

Otherwise, she is observing the boobage/leg rule, and I know we're supposed to be pretending fugnesia but really, that eye makeup is totally not as bad as we know it can be. AND the dress isn't black.

Of course she looks miserable, I would too, if I had gone through hours of extentions and makeup only to look a morning after jank azz mess. I like the dress, it could be fabulous on someone tall and stylish.

Love the dress, hate the hair and make-up. Okay, we're all agreed on that.

If the girl has to wear fishnets, for that "sucking it all in" feeling or whatever, she could have gone with some flesh-colored ones that wouldn't have stuck out quite so much. Or only wear black ones with a darker dress, I think this would look really good in bronze or copper. Whether it would look good on T.Mom is beside the point because she seems determined to ruin anything she puts on anyway.

Oh, the black clutch doesn't work with this outfit.

All things considered, I've fallen on the side of "like"... though I would like it a lot more were the dress a color other than Depressed Waiting Room. Maybe Momsen can scrape off some of her eyeliner and draw a pattern on it.

The outfit is fine. Fishnets wouldn't be my choice, but it is a much better way to look edgy than most of what she does. If she would take off at least half of the eye makeup and dye her roots she would look great.

WHO AM I?

I think it could really work if the dress weren't such a dreadful colour on her; it washes out her skin and doesn't go well with her hair, either. I love the cut and style on her, though. If only it were red! Or green. Or black. Or any colour that isn't that boring fawn. (Goes without saying that the metric ton of eyeliner is too much eyeliner!)

The Whitney who has all the money they need gets a fundraising gala with celebs dressing up all nastily (see: Lindsay Lohan's entrance. My poor little history museum in Lower Manhattan can't get zip. Boo. (stepping off my soapbox now).

Cosigning with the above.

The dress is fine. Actually I really like it. I can even live with the fishnets (although they are the beginning of a descent into her trash-tastic ways) and the shoes are nice enough.

Momsen on the other hand is as usual a tragic mess.

The dress is cute, the person in is NOT. Actually, I was thinking Christini Ricci (reminded of her from yesterday) would look really awesome in this--it needs contrast of dark hair and a bright personality. Not racoon makeup and the washed out hair/persona.

The only think that saves her is that she knows how to stand in it. :-)

That HAIR and DRESS TOTALLY don't go together, that color combination makes the outfit, especially the hair color, looks horrid.

I love the dress, it is cool, but the fishnet is unnecessary and the hair unfortunately hides the dress.

Okay... kill the eye makeup (Britney did it better), and remind me - how old is this jailbait again?

Please tell me someone how can you lokk at the age of 16 that OLD?
Someone told her that eyeliner abuse brings you 40 years - and I do not mean "of jail" but on your ID!

Keep: Dress (fabulour)
Fishnets (I have a deep and abiding love for these)

Ditch: La Lohan's ratty extensions
Ozzy Osbournes eyeliner
Lukewarm shoes
Cranky, bored, snotty expression

if I could replace her head with....anyone else's (seriously, even Robin Williams would be an improvement), this would be fanTASTic

Joke = Love

Joke = Love

i think it woudl look hella better if her hair was truly platinum... that bottle blond is screaming for some toner to cut out the crayola yellow.

I said dig it. Not only because I have an actual fever, but if that dress that on someone else I would still think it was interesting.

I like a sexy dress in a quiet tone. Love the look from the neck down. The extensions and makeup need to go!

Fishnets + make-up ruin the overall look for me, the dress is gorgeous.

Come on, how is that joke dorky? Les Miz is too iconic to be dorky.

Anyway, besides the usual complaints: hair=eek! and WASH YOUR FACE! The double black eye look is not chic. Nononononono! I take issue with the waist of the dress, actually. It seems like she's attempting a more glamorous look (note the sparkly bangles, cute, actually) but the detailing at the waist is, I believe, showing some skin. It looks a bit more tribal/boho influenced than glamour. Also, the fabric is all wrong for this dress on her. If she had a bit more flesh (open mouth, insert cheeseburger!) it would drape and float quite nicely, I think. But the light chiffon-y stuff just hangs there. She would have been better off in something with a bit more substance.

At this point, I don't care about the fishnets, I really don't.

That hair isn't blond! Yellow straw belong on scarecrows, not starlets pretending to be 20 years older than they are!

I am already a devoted reader, but if I weren't, the Les Mis joke would have converted me!

I think I would like this dress on someone else, someone with better style. The dress itself is sort of fresh, but the trademark Momsen look kills it. Sorry, I tried fashion amnesia, but her gloom and doom permeates the look. Even if I didn't know her previous fashion history, I would still say she is too heavily styled for a nude dress with some floaty accents. Lose the extensions, eye makeup, fishnets and lighten up the shoe (peep toes would help here!), and we could have a winner here!

the dress is beautiful.
the shoes are great.
the bracelets are good, i like how minimal the accessories are.
the rest, i would change.
lost the fishnets, the make-up.

Ok, so here's my problem with this-- it looks gorgeous on her, but she seems to have Lilo syndrome, because she looks 20 years older (as Jenna pointed out). So... she looks great... for a 30-something.

If she washed her face and put her hair up I would love this a lot more than I do

I kind of like this dress. The fishnets are lame - a neutral leg would have been better. She has bigger problems, like the fact that she's 18 and already looking like a street walker. I know she's "of age", but where is this child's parents? Whatever happened to enjoying your teen years: hanging out at the mall, painting each others fingernails, crank calling that cute boy your best friend likes but can't get up the nerve to talk to? She makes me sad.

If she washed her face and put her hair up I would love this a lot more than I do

Everything is wrong. Bad straggly hair in garish color with roots exposed by bad part down the middle! Horrifying eye makeup, from my junior high goth days. I forgive it because apparently she's in her early high school goth days, so can I really judge so harshly?

The dress is the gown of a zombie who, before finding human victuals, first grabbed a snake and then wrapped the dead skin into the dress folds. Her expression is indeed Les Mis, and her arm looks like a strong wind could snap it. Zombies are usually more successful eaters, heavily fortified by brains, yes?

The prostitutey slit in the dress, fishnets on the leg, and ultrashiny shoe do nothing to help this mess. Start over. Brand new day.

The dress is lovely and fishnets are ALWAYS fab (nude legs with this dress would have been a hyper giant huge meh!!!!), problems come with that ugly yellow hair and teen-goth makeup. Some brunette hair dye and a makeup artist doing the smokey eye would change a lot!!

From the ever-helpful Wikipedia:

"As children, Éponine and her younger sister Azelma are described as pretty, well-dressed, charming and a delight to see...As an adolescent, Éponine becomes a "pale, puny, meagre creature,"...she now wears dirty and tattered clothing that consists of a chemise and a skirt. She also has missing teeth, mangled hair, heavy brooding eyes, and a premature-aging face with only a trace of beauty lingering."

Okay, okay: Momsen is not missing any teeth. But other than that, I believe any lingering doubts about the Les Miz reference (not that I had any) are put to rest.

In short, Les Miz reference: perfect.

This outfit: oh, honey. No.

I like the dress! it's lovely and has the potential to look really nice on her.

Im not so happy about her hair and th fishnets though. I'm not going to be satisfied with her look (probably) until she does something constructive with her hair! And takes off a bit of the eyeliner and maybe goes with sheer instead of fishnet tights.

Girl is 15!!! I'm not a mom, or even close but there's a reason my mother didn't let me show off my wax job at that age (had I known what waxing is!).

I like the dress, but I agree with Lori-Ann about it setting off her bad dye job in a bad bad way. Then there are those racoon eyes. Sigh. Baby steps, right? She is wearing a cool, fashion-forward dress that covers her where it should and shows off skin in an appropriate, attractive way. I think we should just accept this small victory.

Wow! She finally seems to get the whole smokey-eyes-look right..looks great on this pic. I also kind of like the dress.

i think if she scraped some of the black clay from around her eyes, put her hair up in something simple and - dare i say it? - elegant, and then lost the fishnets and the scowl, i would be seriously impressed with this outfit.

Love the dress - even the fishnets work. However, the hair and makeup is god-awful.

That is a haircolor not found in nature, and it needs to go away. Far, far away. And the outfit, while lovely, would be more appropriate on a woman ten years older.

And go wash your face.

I LOVE the dress on her, I just hate her make-up and hair color.

Did anybody see her in Parnoid Park? She looks so much better with her natural haircolor (dark blond) and no make-up. I don't know why the people at the CW let her have this horrid hair, we need to bring back the WB standards (post Felicity hair-cut-gate) where they required all actresses to have pretty, shiney hair

the color of the dress is weird with the color of her hair. love the fishnets, though!

The dress I love, the fishnets I don't mind, the makeup and hair however... Yuck. I am guessing she always goes with that makeup because she thinks it makes her look dramatic and makes her eyes pop. Instead she looks like the lightweight champion and her eyes look tiny compared to all the makeup. The hair color has an unfortunate resemblance to pee... Some lowlights would do her a lot of good.

The poor dear has urine-colored hair. You'd look just as surly if your dye job had been so badly botched.

You sure this isn't just a sexy mummy costume?

This comment only addresses the "24601" voting choice...I don't think I've ever been so happy to recognize a reference, and here I thought that I was the only person to hum that closing line inside me head whilst confused...

I love the dress, hate the cheesy hair, fishnets, makeup and crabby expression. Maybe put the dress on another person?

It would be fab on someone as old as Linds looks.

I have always loved T.Mom. Girl can look surly if she wants...she's 16! Plus she was perky enough in The Grinch to last her a lifetime - am I right?
I love this dress. I like her eye make-up. The stockings and hair extensions have GOT to go. Enough with yucky blucky hair extensions now people. That ain't your hair. Your real hair is soft, shiny, and short. Go with that.

Speaking of Les Miz, miss Momsen should be careful with the direction her look is taking. Pretty soon she'll risk being picked up for crimes committed by Courtney Love.

And we all know that one won't be barging into the courtroom to do what's right and good.

Hair: ugh
Makeup: Hate
Dress: ADORE and want for myself
Fishnets: Are fun!
Shoes: Meh
Purse: Looks like one of those handheld tape recorders journalists used to use to record interviews.

Joke: Best part of the whole damn piece!

Also, she looks like the kind of homeless moppet Jean Valjean would take in as penance.

Yes. 53% of you have fevers.

The dress all by itself is OK. But, ye gods, that hair color...I can't believe that I hate this because her hair clashes.

But, there it is.

It's the extensions that make it awful. Without those, it might not be so bad.

I find the dress a little old for her, and more than a little too long- or too short, if it's meant to be a train. And I am unenthused by the naked neutrals which have taken over in couture, a sea of blah. The shape is good, though, and the fit, for once, is immaculate. The fishnets and shoes are fresh and pretty much make the outfit.

But those things are forgivable- what isn't is her scrambled-egg color bleach job, and most particularly the lank extensions, and her grubby, grubby make-up. She looks embalmed, or possibly mummified. The hair needs stripped, conditioned, and recolored to something less like cheap doll hair. The eyes? Well, there's a lot of distance between a naked face and eyeliner that looks as if it could be excavated like the ruins of Pompei; it'd be nice if she went for something less volcanic.

I do think the hair needs work, but the rest is awesome. I think we need to bear in mind the scale of the achievement here: Taylor is actually managing to pull off Goth WITHOUT wearing any black clothes! Difficulty-wise, that's kind of the sartorial equivalent of climbing Everest. Go Taylor! I will admit to being a little biased though. When I first saw Taylor I wasn't sure what to make of her. I wondered whether she was a Goth, or some half-wit starlet trying to be edgy. These days I think she really is a Goth and I've gotten very fond of her.

WASH your FACE! Gah! You're 15!

I'm not really in love with any of this, but it could be passable if she ditched everything from the neck up (i.e. greasy extensions, Lone Ranger makeup, and bitchface) She would be fab in a cute bob with her actual hair color.

I really could have gotten behind this for her if it wasn't for the terrible hair and makeup. Its "edgy" and I'm sure she would go with the who fishnets/"punk" feel, but gah, the hair and makeup just make her look like a fool.

Can someone not take this child by the hand and lead her to a good salon/makeup artist? Please?

Ditch the fishnets.

Two points for the Les Mis reference.

Wow... cut off the hair and the head, and you either have a delightful outfit, or a lovely zombie movie.

You know what she looks like? A crackhead version of The Paper Bag Princess, beloved and spunky heroine of the classic Canadian children's book of the same name (by Robert Munsch. Look it up, you'll thank me, oh yes). The paper bag princess has frazzled hair and a sooty face and is wearing a ratty paper bag because a dragon has burned down her castle and her wardrobe with his breath.

TMom, I think, has no such plausible excuse for this bad-hair-extension, soot-face, draggly-dirty-beige ensemble.

Paper Bag Princess. I'm telling you, it's uncanny.

Am I the only one who thinks the make-up is rad? She's 16, she's supposed to be having fun (while appearing to be having none)!

Lose the fishnets, fix the hair (looks like it got caught in a blowdrier like mine did this morning), for the love of all that is holy EASE UP on the eyeliner! Then we'll talk. Oh Mimi you're so right about the paper bag princess thing... Where I live there's actually a second hand shop by that name, I think that says it all...
Also, am I the only one that's noticed that this seems to pretty darn similar to the dress the Jolie wore to Cannes earlier in the year? I think it might have been more pink-ish on her but other than that its more or less the same...?

She's totally pulling off the dress/fishnets/shoes. I'm not digging the jewelry or the bag but the make-up and hairstyling/color are TOTALLY ruining it for me.

If she had tied her hair up and done something intelligent with the makeup, I might be prepared to like this dress. I wear eyeliner, but I always make sure to NEVER wear it like this girl. Thank you Heather and Jessica :)

Really not liking all these beige dresses. Pale blondes are always wanting to call themselves Champagne blondes, wear beige/nude/cream all the time, 'it makes me look all ethereal and yadda yadda', but it doesn't, it just looks boring. Even when their hair wasn't stolen from the Barbie factory. The hair looks gummy, too, so she might have been better advised to put it behind her shoulders, maybe the dress has interesting shoulders, and could have saved this fiasco. Fishnets: ick. I'm trying really hard to find something nice to say about this probably harmless young woman, whose show I have never seen, but so far, nada. Enlarge the pic: looks like a make-up expert worked long and hard to cover up a considerable crop of zits. But her best professional relationship will be with her eye doctor: can't be healthy, all that glop not so much on her eyes as in them.

at first glance, the look isn't bad. but then i remember that this CHILD is only, what? 15?? why is she dressing like a 30+ year old divorcee, no matter how good it looks? why can't she take some hints from dakota fanning who always looks age appropriate, even when she's not looking perfectly adorable.

I can't get past the draconian eye makeup. Which is a shame because I like the dress. Nice draping. Love the shoes from what I can see of them, but she looks like a Twilight extra from the neck up.

Fine, I'll admit it. The dress is fierce, even in beige. The makeup is also fierce with that dress - even if it is her typical "goth racoon" makeup, I actually kind of like it.

The hair, on the other hand, is HEINOUS. Diabolical. The root of all evil. Probably last seen on the ass of a lifesize My Little Pony, though sadly that's an upgrade.

...wait, she's FIFTEEN? Jesus Christ, that looks like something you'd see on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." It looks like something you'd see on Lindsay Lohan (who might as well BE a thirty-something divorcee at this rate). Just...NO.

She should definitely pull a Solange, though. It's the only way to be sure.

24601?

Did you pretend that, just for a moment, you were on your own as the master of the house in a castle on a cloud?

Honestly, I can deal with the hair, and I can deal with the oatmeal color (I really don't hate it as much as the Fug girls do, although I do see their point) and even though I tend to think fishnets are never a good choice, I could look the other way because I actually LIKE this dress.... BUT THAT EYELINER. fsdfjkasgjsdf. It makes me bang my hands on the keyboard out of frustration. ESPECIALLY with her super light hair. AND the super light clothes. WHY does she have no other make-up tricks up her sleeves? WHY?

I keep seeing a picture negative of Elvira.

She reminds me of what my boyfriend refers to as a "prawn". Great body, but you just want to rip the head off.

Jean Valjeaaaaaan... :)

WHY WERE THE FISHNETS NECESSARY? I think it actually would have been a pretty dress without them, just because she's "angsty" doesn't necessarily translate to some semblance of leather/fishnets in every outfit.

NO! It is not good on her; it just isn't as bad as her usual fashion abortions. The gown is very well-fitted, but still FAR too mature for a 15-year-old child. Also, it appears rather wrinkled. The shoes look quite good with the gown, but I suspect that the fishnets are less a fashion statement, than an attempt to maintain her "infant/rocker" persona that coincidentally looked pretty great. Those rat-ass extensions are strictly from hunger, and the raccoon eyes continue to dismay.

Okay, I had to vote 24601, because years ago I made myself a Halloween convict costume with the number 24601. I still have it, and have worn it and lent it out several times. A total of one person over the years got the joke. But it still makes me giggle, so there.

A Les Mis joke on GFY. My life is complete.

Anyone who can toss out a Les Miz reference so deftly deserves to be worshipped. I am pausing now to genuflect in your direction, Ms. Jessica.

The real answer is

"If she were a grown woman, this would be lovely. Unfortunately, that she is a wee babe renders the effect gross."

I don't have to pretend. Every time she ends up on GFY, which is TOO OFTEN, I have to think, who is this person and why am I supposed to care again?

I think I do actually have a fever. But asides from the very yellow look to her hair the outfit looks fabulous on her. Who knew???

I agree that she should be having fun at 16, but said fun shouldn't have to come at the price of looking like a hard-edged runaway from the "Love Is a Battlefield" video. She looks like she's going to scare a pimp away with elaborate shoulder shimmies any second.

Would have been fab on anyone that is above 21! And her hair color just reminds me of boiling instant noodles.

Sorry, could someone explain the joke to me?

I want to love it.... if only she'd lose the Barbie doll-esque extensions and the layers of unwashed eye makeup

Agreed with Kc ("I want to love it.... if only she'd lose the Barbie doll-esque extensions and the layers of unwashed eye makeup")

Off with her head and we have a winner.

Beige is difficult. I'd like this dress in another colour, without the hideous makeup and hair. She also needs to take a nap. Girls under the age of twenty should not look that haggard.

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LES MIZ REFERENCE. I don't even CARE about the dress.

her hair, UGGG the color is awful

Honestly, you could paint my car with the amount of eyeliner she wears every day. If I had a car. anyway, I think the look would pull together so much better if the dress were a nice shade of blue or green. The hair might even look normal if the dress weren't so...bland. oatmeal is a good word for it :)
ps Les Miz reference totally made my day

She's still wearing WAY WAY WAY too much makeup, but I love what she has on.

I like the dress. She's mostly covered and the color's cool. I like the fishnets too.

Is it just me or does she look like Jerry Hall? I don't mean Jerry Hall back in the day, I mean Jerry Hall an hour ago. That's kinda weird.

Les Miserables for the win. That's all.

If she wants to bleach her hair, that's fine. But she might want to talk to Gwen Stefani about how to bleach without looking like Janice from the Muppets.

Love the makeup. Love the hair. Love the dress. Love the fishnets. Love the expression.

Actually like the dress thing. But I keep hating the hair and the make-up...

Love the sinner, hate the sin; love the dress, hate the hamburglar.

UGLY UGLY YELLOW HAIR.
Otherwise, nice!

Love the dress, but she is JUST. TOO. YOUNG.

The dress + fishnets are fabulous -- I just think the look is too old for TM. I would love it on a celeb in her mid- to late-20s, like any of the older members of the GG cast. I would love to see TM just once in something short and bright and age appropriate. Sans TERRIBLE hair and eye make up, natch.

*first post-cleansed thought* Some spoiled idiot dressed up as Blonde Elvira.

Jean Valjean!


I love Javert's last song, when he is so distraught that he sings Valjean's melody.

long time reader, first time commenter (I think.)

actually had to peruse the comments for the first time ever to see who all got the Les Mis reference. If I were a man, (or a lesbian) and single, (and not a gay man) and still into fashion, (for more than just my own narcissism) I would propose. Right NOW.

LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys.

I've been re-watching the first season of Gossip Girl (genius)and I miss little J from back in the day! She had adorable short girly softly blond hair, and a minimum of racoon eyes. If she could only lose the extensions and ditch the eye makeup (like her character is reportedly doing now even though she's really not). I get that she's trying to be Courtney love, but to me she looks more like a contestant on Rock of Love: bad extensions, bleached hair, terrible makeup.

Have you seen this dress on the runway? It's gorgeous! It would be gorgeous on anyone from kate beckinsale to Beth Ditto for all I care.. how does she make this look like some cheap dress designed by a failed contestant from project runway?

Nothing goes with it: not her hair colour (same colour as my bird), not those fish net things that are suppose to cover her legs and certainly that awful make-up!

*sighs*

I think someone is trying to be like Lindsey Lohan. I don't know why, I just have that feeling. So sad.

You made a Valjean joke just in time for my birthday...I didn't think you could make me love you any more than I already did, yet you have managed to prove me wrong. WELL PLAYED!

If you had not made 24601 an option...I would have chosen that she looks fug. Like, raccoon from the garbage bin fug.

This girl should be at school like any normal 16 year old. NOT walking about like death warmed up! I like the dress, it's her skanky hair and make-up that makes her dirty. I hope she doesn't employ a make-up for this look. What a rip..

I love, love, love your dorky joke! I <3 Jean Valjean!

As far as Taylor goes...I actually kind of dig the dress, but the hair and makeup leaves much to be desired. When will T.Mom learn?

I had that song running through my head all day, and then I saw this poll. Hee.

Immensely enjoyed the hamburgler and pat benetar references, taylor momsen always gets it wrong and I almost feel bad since this is the best she's ever looked. She's totally wearing suspenders under there though.

I don't understand the joke and I've seen Les Miserables....multiple times!

I can't be bothered reading the comments so someone may have already brought this up but
THOSE SHOES ARE SO UGLY. NO.

NO.

The colour doesn't go with that dress, nor does it go with the black dress that Taylor Momden is wearing in the photo y'all posted later. In fact it's just a hideous colour full stop. And the toe is unattractive.

And what the Helsinki is up with those stupid platform pumps that are only platforms at the front and then they're super high stilettos? They're just not OK. Something's off. I think it's the platform to heel size ratio. And SO MANY PEOPLE are wearing them.
No comprende.

And I'm done

I can't even coherently comment on all that's going on there because every time I look at the picture I think "Sweet Jesus, she's 16 and she looks 35!" NOOOO!

Looking back at some of these comments I finally realise what's bothering you guys about Taylor, and why it's not bothering me. I live in New Zealand, where the age of consent is 16, and therefore I have no problem with her wearing sexy outfits. I see her as a woman, not a child. The culture here also is that there is absolutely nothing good about childhood and it's therefore wise to get a head start on your twenties as early as possible.

Also, some folks seem to have an issue with unnatural-looking make up. As a Goth, I can't really agree with you there, but each to his own.

I gotta say I love the dress and outfit in general, but I am always incredibly annoyed when I can't see an entire outfit because of how long the wearer's hair is. That neckline is clearly gorgeous but I can't see most of it cause of her hair!

Also the raccoon eyes and pissed-off expression have got to go. I love her on GG but hate her on red carpets!

PS You are so right, Tool Academy is the BEST.

Great Post,

Thanks

My duty's to the law - come with me now 24601...

(That's the laws of grooming for those playing at home. This would be fine if she had a closet full of interchangeable heads like in Return To Oz, but less groaning old shriveled heads, and more clean skin, flattering makeup and better hair.)

For those not fully on the Le Miz train: 24601 is the prisoner's number of the lead character, Jean Valjean. He has a big introductory song, at the end of which he declares "Who am I? Two! Four! Six! Oh! Ooooonnnneeeee!"

LOVE the dress... for myself. Who is the designer?????

i still can't digest the fact that she's finally wearing a dress. thank god for that. but taylor!!! please do something about your hair girl!

I'm a bit late checking in on this, but I have to tell you I laughed out loud at the poll, and will now be jammin' my Les Mis soundtrack in the car on the way home.

Larissa, dress is Versace :)

J-Simp hair, cleaner make-up, nude fish-nets, HELL YES.

Since I live under a rock and only very recently rediscovered this blog, I can honestly say I HAVE never seen this girl before. I like the dress. The hair is quite awful, but could be worse. Is the bag a bag or the box for her glasses? Not convinced about it, in any case. Shoes, check. Fishnet, hell yes, give the oatmeal some edge. Maybe they could've been dark brown rather than black though, which really goes for the makeup as well. I'm all for an expertly executed goth vibe (key word being VIBE) but this isn't quite that. Subtle, dahling. Do the subtle.
