Taylor Momsen Spin High-Class Hooker Look

Taylor Momsen is being totally edgy, again, for the new issue of Spin magazine. The now 17-year-old The Pretty Reckless front-woman/ infant/ prostitot is giving it the most edge since she swore on live television and gave quotes to Disorder about masturbation (and then repeated the quotes on Twitter and to anyone who would listen). This time we learn how she got her hard punk rock edge. She’s talking about how bad experiences in life have left her scarred, though she neglects to say which experiences in particular are leaving her singing about priest sex, drugs, and sodomy. More pictures, and quotes on her ‘high-class hooker’/ ‘provocative’ style and how music keeps her ‘young’. Funny story: I’m not even putting words in her mouth, these are real quotes. See below in bold.

On how she’s not a role model: “I am not a role model,” Momsen tells SPIN over lunch in an NYC diner, after arriving dressed in thigh-high black nylons and jean shorts with her bleached-blonde hair cascading over skinny shoulders, a look she describes as “high-class hooker.”
On how she dresses: “I dress for myself,” she says. “Clearly, it’s provocative, but it makes me feel good. And if the only reason it makes someone uncomfortable is because I’m 17, then that person’s a scumbag because it shouldn’t matter.”
On what she’s not: A “drug addict,” a “crazy f-ckin’ psycho who’s gonna end up in the gutter next week,” or a rebel. “I’m figuring out who I am and what I want to be doing,” she says.
Ooh, a sodomy reference! “On the Pretty Reckless’ debut, Light Me Up, Momsen wails about getting damaged (the dive-bar anthem “My Medicine”), disrobing (the propulsive “Goin’ Down”) and fessing up to some “not-okay” urges (”Light Me Up”). Elsewhere, she sings, “I’ll let you in through the back door” on a song that could just be about a house party. Right?”
On how “bad experiences” f*cked her up: When asked about the basis for these suggestive lyrics, the otherwise chatty Momsen chooses her words carefully. “I’m not really sure how to answer properly yet,” she admits. “I’ve had a lot of bad experiences, and whether that’s from sex or drugs or something else, they are adult experiences that would f-ck anyone up.”
On how Rihanna sucks: Momsen is very protective of what she considers “rock,” a word she uses frequently. “People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna’s wearing f-ckin’ leather jackets, and it’s really annoying.”
On how music keeps the 17-year-old young: “I was at a point where I was getting up and going to work, but I was drained. Gossip Girl gave me a platform to make this happen faster, and I’m grateful, but if I’m not doing something that makes me happy, then I’m dying. Music keeps me young.”
On her music: “Nobody wants to like our music. Online, people said, ‘I really wanted to hate [the EP] but I like it.’ I hope things continue on that path. But I’ll be making more records whether people are listening to them or not.
