looking the part isn't enough, now you can also smell like death!

We just can’t get enough of this Gossip Girl starlet. Check out the Taylor Momsen Galliano ad campaign! The ad features the starlet lounging backstage.

According to WWD, the ad portrays Momsen’s as a traveling rock star. Alone in Berlin, with no online communication, she has to write a love letter to her beau back at home. The concept surely ties in with the fragrance bottle (Notice the postage stamp on the side). The floral and fruity chypre scent launches in mid-October.

--Ok now it is my turn. THIS IS NASTY!!! People should not be encouraging this child to look like the dirty raccoon she is (even though she does look much cleaner for the ad, no surprise.) but seriously, she is a 17 year old messed up kid who recently PUBLICLY  blamed her parents for the way she dresses and acts... UMMMMM okayyyy I understand she was a child star since the age of 2 years old and her parents were some crazy stage parents but how does that make you want to look like this:

“Everyone’s like, ‘Wow, why is she upset and why is she so miserable about things?’ My parents signed me up with Ford (modeling agency) at the age of two. No two year old wants to be working, but I had no choice. My whole life, I was in and out of school. I didn’t have friends. I was working constantly and I didn’t have a real life.” --Taylor Momsen

Here is an interview she did about the ad campaign:

--Anyway good for her that people still find her worthy of being the face of something but seriously if I owned a FASHION HOUSE and let me repeat that again, if I was working in FASHION I would want nothing to do with this cheap, old, dirty, offensive and on the verge of child pornography look. I don't know what is going on in Galliano's mind, seriously I know he does the unexpected but why do we (as consumers) have to put up with this unacceptable, low and tasteless direction many labels are taking on? Where is the glamor, the culture and the sophistication that once made fashion so untouchable? Well its out the door and now we are fed fashion trash.Who will buy this perfume other than little tweens who may follow Taylor Momsen? I don't think any adults would want to be associated with the 17 year old image of a damaged girl.

And here are brief updates on the other Gossip Girl female cast who ARE IN FACT a big influence on fashion nowadays, I remember frankly debating with Maria about it in class so here is how they are (or aren't) fashion icons of this decade...

Despite the fact that every young female (and admit it, males) is head over heels about the number 1 ranking television show Gossip Girl and follow the cast of celebrities as if they are Gods of some sort but here are some of their other projects in fashion:

Leighton Meester:

Ad Campaigns/ Endorsements-Herbal Essences, Clearasil, Reebok and most recently Vera Wang fragrances ($3 Million 2 year contract)

Other than that, like most of the Gossip Girl crew you will find her on most magazine covers.

Blake Lively: 

Other than the fact that she has appeared as the cover girl for almost all magazines such as Vogue, W, Interview, Marie Claire, Esquire, Glamour, Seventeen, Nylon and the list keeps going, but she is also on every best dressed list, at every big event and is always a star people look forward to seeing in her great selection of looks. She is also still the most popular celebrity (female) from the Gossip Girl crew and is somewhat of a sex symbol in the eyes of men, women and the fashion industry.

Jessica Szohr:

There is less buzz surrounding her compared to the other Gossip Girls but she is still featured on many magazine covers including Teen Vogue, Nylon and Asos. She is also featured alongside other leading, stylish and iconic TV show actors (including cast of Glee and 90210) for the 2010 Op ad campaign which is only sold in Walmart.

Anyway this was a very extensive and probably mostly unnecessary update, but I just wanted to prove my previous point made and to criticize Taylor Momsen because she is a total freak and if my younger sisters ever even dreamed to dress like that I would dis-own them, as should Galliano do to her for his ad campaign.
