Channeling Debbie Harry.

ON DATING OLDER GUYS:
"I'm not going to date someone who's sixteen.
Boys are so much less mature than girls as it is;
there's just no way—I would eat a boy my age alive."

ON RELATING TO OTHER TEENS:
"I live a very adult life: I have two different careers;
I'm on tour. What am I going to do, hang out
with the high school kids? I just can't relate
to what they talk about—it seems so petty."

ON WRITING HER OWN MUSIC:
"The most obvious thing is to look at me and say,
"Oh, pretty blonde girl, let's put her in pop."
But I would never want to do something
in music that isn't representing me."

ON HER UPDATED LOOK:
"I know people were a little, um, taken aback.
But it wasn't me that changed—it
was just that I decided to start being myself.
Now I do my own makeup, my
own hair, and dress myself, and it feels better."

Is it bad to say that I don't like her and
her new "too cool for school" attitude?
There's a strong chance that this
cover story actually made me hate her lol.
Before she seemed really sweet and cutesy.
Now she's just... boring. She has the same
"I'm too awesome to speak to you" theology
that the rest of her annoying generation has.
So for someone who is trying very hard to
be different, her speech and actions are exactly
the same as her contemporaries. Ugh,
there I go ranting about how annoying
teenagers are again. She just seems like
she's trying really hard to make everyone
believe that she's mature. She's trying to
grow up too fast, which is something
that I hate. Oh well, I don't like the shoot much
either. It just seems really off. I guess it's the awkward
clash between the girlyness of the background
and her Debbie Harry look. [Yes, I know
these aren't the official photos but these
outtakes are kinda bleh..] For someone who
apparently wants to be a model, she doesn't
seem to have any modeling talent whatsoever.
She looks completely dead and out of place.
There's no tension in the photos.. nothing that
makes me actually want to look at them.
