Pretty Reckless: Taylor Momsen takes it off
Miley Cyrus isn’t the only one dropping her pants and raising eyebrows right now.
Ex-Gossip Girl actress turned racy rockstar, Taylor Momsen, is making headlines by flashing and flaunting her goods in the November issue of Maxim magazine.
Among the sexy shots published in the men’s monthly, the 20-year-old can be seen lifting a bulky knit sweater showing off her black sheer lingerie.
“Everyone is going to have something to say about it,” Taylor says when I bring up the inescapable subject that is her nudity.
And the girl is right. Everyone is talking about it.
Taylor’s spread has gone viral and has media yakking from LA to London town.
The funny thing is the Maxim shoot isn’t the first of its kind and won’t be the last.
Not all that long ago the star graced the cover of Revolver magazine sporting black lace and garters, an outfit no different from Taylor’s typical, everyday garb.
“I just get dressed in the morning and wear whatever’s clean,” she laughs.
Too busy for laundry day, Taylor occupies her time fronting the rock band The Pretty Reckless, a gig that made her infamous for being, well, pretty reckless.
From discussing topics like porn and masturbation with the press, to flashing her breasts to thousands of fans, Taylor seems to love courting controversy, but damns the idea that she is fame driven and headline hungry.
“The way I dress is a part of who I am. I don’t think about what will be shocking,” she defends. “This is me and this is just how I act.”
Nudity is an ongoing theme with Taylor. Just recently she also posed topless to promote her band’s current Going to Hell Tour.
“Everything I do is motivated by art in some way,” Taylor says, explaining her actions. “It’s not just about me taking my clothes off, though it does spin into that, it’s so much deeper.”
