Taylor Momsen on Her Long Legs
January 3, 2010 in Taylor Momsen by Versus
“My legs are really long and that’s cool apparently, but I’m totally klutzy. I mean, I’m like Bambi. I fall all over myself because I can’t control my arms and my really long legs.”
… says 16 year-old Taylor.
They’re long, indeed!
2 pictures of Taylor in print stockings on the next page!
i’ve spent several months in recovery, but really you just try to do a...
She’s pretty
Versus, do you know how tall she is?
Various sources say different things – from 5’8” to 5’10”.
On the website ‘Celebheights’ it says that Taylor is 5’6 1/2. 5’4 1/2 also comes up.
why do girls want to grow up so fast???
Seriously! She’s 16! The way she dresses is almost embarassing… at any age!
Does she not have any parents? I’d be damned if I ever let my kid walk around like that. I remember reading a quote where she said she never dates teenage boys because they are sooo immature. Why don’t they just enjoy their youth while they can?
I can imagine that. A friend of mine has that too. But I would trade mine immediately for taylors´ wow
aren’t her lags ans arm so long ’cause she’s in her puberty? (arms and legs grow first, that’s why teenagers can be clumsy)
I like her figure but I wish she hadn’t changed her style so dramatically
That is the most stupid thing she ever said. Oh, just shut up, will you?
That’s funny, and I think it was meant to be funny:)
lighten up people!
She looks great and she knows it. Just because she likes risque fashion and experiments with make-up does NOT mean she is “growing up too fast”.
I’ve yet to read any evidence of reckless behaviour. Compare her to Britney/Lohan/Tara Reid/Disney stars, the girl is a saint.
Not even made-up stories of drug abuse, and unsafe sex or anything like that.
I’ve yet to see her looking disheveled, like in the throwes of some killer hangover. I’ve yet to see her looking like she skips meals, and drinks Diet Coke and Vodka for breakfast (hint hint).
She is slim, but her weight is stagnant, she does not follow some sick gain/starve cycle .
She hasn’t leaked any sex videos, or sexy naked pictures.
She hasn’t done any Botox or any crazy procedure she doesn’t need.
Seriously, what is everyone’s problem with her, all I read is slutty this and grown-up-too-fast that. Yet the girl dresses interestly, if not conventionally. I always find her at the very front of fashion trends. She actually has her own personal style which rarely ends up clunky like other co-stars.
Who drinks Diet Coke and Vodka for breakfast? Curious.
me!
Lindsay has been photographed with both.
Agree with you completely suzushii.
AMEN.
I totally agree with you suzushii. She is adorable.
The way people act about her is a perfect example of judging a book by it’s cover. Like you said, she’s perfectly down to earth as far as we know – yet just because she has an edgy fashion sense, she’s a slut?
It’s not that she’s a slut or reckless or like britney spears… she just looks ridiculous.
totally agree with you
Thank you so much. Finally someone with a sensible attitude.
I hate when people jump all over her for wearing what she wants to.
Who cares if it’s edgy? As far as I’m concerned it’s who she is and what she does that matters…if she looks great doing it that’s a plus.
Sometimes I think people just rag on her because they either a) can’t dress like she does or b) can’t pull the things she wears off.
…Anyway, sorry, little bit of a tangent there.
But anyway, I totally agree with you.
She is a beauty, no doubt, but her attitude worries me. Actually, the apparant lack of dicipline by her parents is what really worries me. I’d never allow my daughter to do/dress half the way she does.
Yes, she may be no Lindsey Lohan. But it’s about paths and encouraging the right paths, and she seems to be headed down the wrong one that typically DOES wind up in sex tapes, alcoholism..etc. Whether she will stop or not before reaching the end…well, we have yet to find out.
Ah, the classic slippery slope fallacy.
It all starts with wearing flowery tights and then you’re heading towards alchoholism. Snort.
I know girls who dressed more wildly then this girl, and they were church doors, not even having boyfriends.
And I know girls who looked like a pastor’s daughter and they were the most perverted, lying little b~, screwing every guy behind some bush and drinking like a fish.
I hope when I have kids I’ll judge them by what they do, and not by what they wear. God knows every generation it’s the same thing. Young people wear riskey things, parents act like it’s the end of the world.
It’s not a slippery slope argument. Most people with a lot of money and a lot of freedom, no restrictions, and a rebellious attitude do wind up going down the wrong paths. Wrong in the sense that it’s self-destructive.
There are of course exceptions. And I never said that was going to be Taylor’s case. In fact, I specifically stated that we can only wait and see how she turns out. I don’t know her, don’t know her situation…I’m just a casual observer.
All I’m saying is the odds are not in her favor, and if that was my child I would strive to decrease the odds of developing self-destructive patterns. It’s not about the clothes, it’s the attitude that is the problem. It’s the need to wear such clothes at 16, and the audacity to do it.
you are only saying because of the way she dresses… And that’s SO unfair.
I agree.
I mean, I agree with you, Casey. Maybe she hasn’t now, but thanks to her parents, she is headed that way, or at least one could reasonably assume she was.
I’m 15 years old. 16 in June. I know lots of girls who dress like that (and quite a few who would wear those tights too
) I know girls who dress skankier. The people who think SHE is growing up too fast, obviously need to get out in the real world (because 15 year old girls are everywhere)
anyway her legs do not seem really long to me? idk i’m 5’9 and her legs look the same, maybe even shorter than mine (she is wearing heels) and i’ve never thought I had particularly long legs..
someone like irina kulikova has really long legs.. (listed as 5’11, probably 5’11 in this pic, but estimates now put her at 6’1 or 6’2)
http://www.catwalkqueen.tv/ik.JPG
btw, that pic is old from when she started modelling age 15-16, she has gained noticeable weight since.
I just turned 16 and even I think she’s skanked up.
Last time I checked I do live in the real world, and I know if I saw a girl dressed like her (disregarding the first picture, because I actually do rather like her look there) I don’t think I’d have many kind words to say about it.
Honestly, I don’t think it matters if it’s what’s ‘normal’ for this generation, all that make-up and skin just isn’t attractive to me, and I don’t understand why looking like you’ve just woken up in a gutter would be appealing.
I mean, sure, showing off our youthful bodies while they’re smooth and fit is a part of being young, but for some reason it just doesn’t look tasteful on Taylor. Like, she’s trying way too hard to be sexy with her lace and over-the-top eye make-up, but it’s not working.
And for goodness sake, you’re on a hit TV show and you have legs for days, at least try to crack a smile every now and then.
i’d just turn 17 and i don’t think she grew up too fast cause personally i don’t know her. yeah, i’ve seen girls my age dressed like this. i don’t think they’re sluts but they surely aspire to look like one. if you’re dressed like that, then you’re just asking for people to assume you’re this or that. it’s not right to judge a book by its cover but its human nature to assume anyway so what can you do? she should just dress her age and toned down a lil. she just dress too much for her age. and lillian is right, she should at least smile once in awhile and just be a teen. not a wannabe courtney love and try to pass off as 24.
Um I am sorry honey but whoever dresses this way at 15 clearly their parents must be very busy doing something else instead of taking care of their child.
It doesn’t matter if you are a saint and you wear these kind of outfits, they scream: SEX AND DRUGS!
Even if the person who wears it doesn’t see it I’m sure all the boys in the neighborhood do, and their comments might not be very nice.
Clearly this girl needs a parent to tell her to wear something more appropriate.. And stop hanging around with lindsay lohan, why would some 16 year old hang out with that crazy crack head? And then people think, oh she’s not doing anything wrong….
i agree w/ ash, her parents are crazy for letting her outta the house looking like that.
thats what happens when ppl have no class
Agreed.
I wish I’d looked this good when I was 15 – 17 and experimenting with fashion. I agree with suzushii for the most part and really think people need to relax. Obviously all those “no class” and “parents shouldn’t allow this” comments are from people who don’t have kids of this age.
If you trust in your kid – and in the education you established in your kid – you can grant certain freedom. That’s the way MY parents raised me and I have to say I turned out pretty great
just because you think you turned out great doesn’t mean everyone will.
its funny people use their own experiences and think everyone will do the same.
honestly, this girl has an “f the world” attitude and seems to be really easy influenced on people. that’s not a good thing

And just because you know a person who dresses like this AND turned out bad, doesn’t mean SHE will too.
Perhaps every time I see someone wearing a hoodie I should assume they’re out to rob me? How about if they’re black. After all, you’re judgeing by what you see, and that’s exactly how racism works.
She’s into rock and roll. You guys sound like a bunch of prude housewives (matter of fact, you probably are). The day kids stop pushing boundaries and caring more about music than finances, then we’ll have a real problem on our hands.
lol, what she sings isn’t even close to rock and roll.
Rock and roll! LOL!
Btw, I’m not a prude housewife. Not even married.
I’ve never heard her stuff, but she cites Joan Jett and the Runways, Nirvana, Hole, and Garbage as influences. She says she grew up listening to The Beatles on vinyl.
Even if she’s totally talentless, I respect someone who likes Nirvana more than some floozy who think she has an emotional connection to Marilyn Monroe.
I personally think Nirvana was overrated. I hate the beatles too. Most overrated band in music period.
This is rock (specifically gothic rock): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuezNswtRfo
Taylor M. sings pop. I have no respect for people who cannot swim outside of the world of mainstream, record label baby food.
Well good thing ann here has given her expert advice on what music is good or not, and what qualifies as rock.
The world breathes a collective sigh of relief since this tender topic has been put to rest by a leading authority.
And?
You give you expert advice on everyone of the planet you think is fat. Maybe you should stop doing that if you don’t want others to give their “expert” opinions.
Wow, so you put down two bands that many people consider good if not great, and then you put up what “real” rock is (I’ve never heard of them). First of all, there are tons of sub genres of rock. You realize that grunge, punk, emo, goth, metal are ALL rock? So there is no “real” rock.
And also, my original comment was just expressing that I think it’s normal for teenagers to rebel. All of this, “she’s too young” talk is condescending. I was 16 3 months ago. I can think for myself now, and I could think for myself then. If she’s into being alternative, and saying that music is her life, then let her be. I personally admire people who love music, but that’s just me.
Of course you’ve never heard of it. it’s not major label crap. Did Nirvana utterly stink? No, but they were not some revolutionary rock act either. This is why people say they are overrated. because people have to put them on some kind of pedestal. Cobain wasn’t that great compared to many of his peers. He just happened to off himself. People love dead rockstars for some reason. If he had lived twenty more years he would have faded into obscurity or sold out like most people from his time. It’s all generational. There are many bands better than the Beatles and Nirvana. You won’t hear of em because they do not have major marketing power behind them.
Give this girl a ecade and then proclaim she is being a rebel. Quite frankly dressing up in black clothes and screeching does not equal true rebellion. I think people in this day and age are just too easily impressed. The girl sounds like Avirl Lavigne and her song writing is laughable.
“To all of you who’ve wronged me
I am. I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am, I am, I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go to go to go, before I lie, lie down dead”
Just freaking mindblowing!
Haha, that does sound pretty bad. I think that truly good bands get recognized even without any myths or eulogizing. Like System of a Down. Not exactly mainstream, but well known and well loved because they are good. They’ve been broken up for years now, nobody is dead, and they still have tons of fans. Myself included.
ann, yo not everyone here is listening to these shadows of death bullshits
ahahaha
sorry
i used to be into that caca when i was in highschool
then i grew up and realised its people like Nirvana or freakin Solja Boy who get the money
cause thats what people freakin like. let it go
Seriously ann, I have read many of your comments on other posts and actually agree with a lot of the stuff you have said but to write all of your OPINIONS as if they are FACTS is just ignorant. Someone may love a band while others may hate it, there is no right or wrong it is all simply opinionated. You are claiming what real rock is as if your opinion is a fact and that is it period. Some ppl hate rock and like hip hop or pop music that doesn’t make them stupid or wrong that is just what they prefer.
Not a housewife. You, however, are an idiot.
a) You didn’t post anything, so I probably wasn’t directing that comment to you.
b) That’s harsh, and I’m not.
How tall is she?
She is beautiful but the scraggly over bleached hair is a no no! Her hair was fab in the first season of Gossip Girl!! Although maybe her hair needs to look like this for the show….
She is a poser to me. Sorry, but that’s what I see looking at her.
Yea ur rite..
She seems like a big poser..
My friends r all punk and grunge ppl and they would call her a poser and throw milk at her if she went to my skool! She just tries to hard…
Teenagers r harsh and if they think something is fake wellthen it’s fake..
she always looks so fabulous!! wish i looked like that 16
This is fashion, it is not her wanting to appear slutty. If you have a great body, why not show it?!
Umm because she just turned 16.. That’s why
Omg everybody here is so uptight who cares if she’s 16!! none of you know her therefore don’t really care for her or have to deal with her so if her parents are cool with it let it be.. geez
She has great legs!!! xox
She has gorgeous long lean legs. She will become less clumsy and more graceful as she ages. I did!
I love this girl. I think she is adorable. She is young and finding herself. Let her life her life
Agreed. She is still very young and finding herself and her sense of style and dress. She is such a cutie.
She’s a poser, yes, but a lot of young people go through that phase. I love her legs, and she does have a beautiful face. She just needs to learn that less is more, and that her hair extensions are hideous. That will come with age though (providing she doesn’t do a Lohan…)
I agree with casey 100% i really love her eyes they’re so unique…wish she would tone down the over processed bleached hair. less is always more!
She’s so pretty!
Also, I love her long thin legs…
Mine look like that but for some reason I think my legs are too thin and I don’t really expose them like that. Hmm.
Maybe I should rethink? D:
How I wish I had long slender legs!
I cannot stand this girl’s clothes, hair & makeup – but she’s a teenager and a lot of them go through this type of stage. She’ll grow up and realise it looks ridiculous soon enough.
aha Bambi, yes this is totally it. Her legs are just amazing …
If her skinny legs are nice, I want to know what less than spectacular legs are (no offence).
FYI
Being a teenager isn’t a free pass for doing whatever you want (foolish things) and dressing like a streetwalker. Just because this is how (alot but not all) teenagers dress, it dosen’t mean thats its okay.
So if some teens dress like this now, lets imagine how it’ll be 12 years in the future.
In the first picture, she’s probably filming GG.
i actually really like her! and i admire her for taking risks… clearly she doesn’t care what you people think. good for her i say. leave the girl alone… she’s young and having fun.
I just love her ! She’s so great. realy amazing!
Ans she’s just 16, I mean WTF!
I love her figure, but I think she’s skinny, very skinny.
I just hope She’s eating healthy. But she is great.
She’s young and having fun, agreed!
I think every 16-years-old “child” likes to go to party and have fun.
She is soooooooooo gorgeous !
I don’t see how she looks skanky in these pictures.
There are other outfits she has worn which probably were showing too much skin.
But really, she dresses the way she does for 1 of 2 reasons:
1. She likes that style. She wants to look like that. She’s happy with herself and she’s doing what she wants. If she ends up raped or kidnapped for it, that’s her own problem.
2. She is trying to show off or impress. IF this is the case, which I doubt- but, IF it was. To the people who do not approve- Do you think she’s trying to impress you? Um, no. If she was trying to impress YOU, then she would dress in a way which YOU thought looked good. You are obviously not her target audience. She is appealing to some sort of a punk-rock-under-25 genre or whatever. I like it, she likes it, if you extend your hatred towards someone else’s life, you are only detrimenting your own, because honestly I don’t think she gives a f***. Lol.
She has a horribly dis-proportional body, since she has super short torso compared to her legs. it’s rather embarassing. I would be covering the legs up, if I were her. It looks like a big head plopped down onto nothing but legs. Long torso + long legs look fabulous, like most models. But not super short torso with nothing but legs. She must have one parent that is extra short and one that is extra tall. It happens. Therefore taking half her body proportions from one and half from the other.
