1. You are awesomely correct as per usual.
2. I am glad to find out that I am not the only sane person that is sick of “Tavi”.
3. I just got my pillowtop mattress back, after being homeless for a year…I enjoyed a weird but comfy nights rest.
2a. I am very amused/not amused to see the kids cycling thru my life history as if they invented everything.
4. Sheesh, at least us flower children acknowledged Scott Nearing, Thoreau, etc. refusing to pretend we invented the universe.
5. I can’t believe someone hasn’t sent you some leather shorts already. Some teenager somewhere is hoarding all of them I suppose.
6. I love 10 things I hate about you….I get a big thrill to see my 2nd-hometown. Tacoma is mind-blowing pretty in the summer.

I (not shockingly I’m sure) LOVE Tavi. I think she’s so spunky and cute and I want to adopt her as my little sister. I think that despite all this fame she’s come upon she still has a pretty killer attitude. I hope to have children as cool as her. Well, one as cool as her- one as cool as you. Then I can retire as mom to the coolest chicks ever. And I can watch them fight and disagree about shit and eat popcorn and laugh.

Audi – all that you are saying is right, but only in the case that we for sure know the young lady is really “obsessed”. Which I personally doubt.

Tavi has a passion, can write and has more guts and common sense than many grown-up “artists”, or should I say, “ARTISTS” (letters still too small) fawning over Terry. Even though I don’t like the not-tunic, Tavi’s good in my books.

I just had a look at the Jezebel site that Denise mentioned.
That truly makes me feel ill.
This should not be happening.
Bad bad man!

I’m glad someone other than me uses Ikea as a diner.

dust: I didn’t mean it as a literal suggestion. Sure, maybe 14-year-olds these days don’t do anything as wholesome as jumping rope anymore, but my point is that she’s VERY YOUNG; too young to be driving this hard at a career. She only seems like a refreshing change because so many other kids her age have about 5 vocabulary words besides “like” and can’t identify the US on a map. If she were obsessed with the gambling industry or even the stock market, I doubt everyone would be so supportive.

Audi – 14 year old kids are a bit too old to jump a rope, and everybody should learn as early as possible that fashion IS mostly business. I’d wish more kids were so focused on something like reading, watching, writing. Don’t be worried about her, she’ll be just fine, I promise.

Tavi just makes me sad. No kid should be that serious about anything. To be interested in fashion is one thing, but it seems she’s just as interested in the fashion BUSINESS, and that to me is just weird. It’ll be all too soon that she’ll have to sell her soul to some fucking job that she’ll be stuck with for the rest of her life; why does she want to get such an early start? I want to tell her to go ride a bike, or play jump rope, or join 4H for chrissakes. Just be a KID, instead of trying to force her way into the same creepy industry as the likes of Terry Richardson.

1. As much as Sister Wolf is not my age group, neither is Tavi. I don’t comment on Tavi’s blog, but I read it and give it a chance cos’ it shouldn’t be so unusual to have interest in what all sorts of age groups have to say. I don’t think the hype is her plot, she’s writes good, can be funny and fast, has a good reflection, but it’s not amazing, to use a proper terminology. In my own words, it could be this or some other 14 year old, but this one got the microphone. And not-tunic tunic.

2. If any of overweight people could choose what would they rather be: skinny of fat, what would they answer?

3. It is completely understandable that it takes Terry to make such pictures and even if they are “sweet porn” only(we’ve all seen much more open approach…), it’s again him that abused his self-proclaimed Terry-position. Who plays with fire, dies from burns.

4. Ikea is good only for food.

5. I sleep standing.

6. I don’t sleep at all!
