Taylor Momsen is no longer the face and eyeshadow of Madonna and her daughter Lourdes Leon’s Material Girl fashion line.
For some reason, fashion lines associated with Madonna don’t sell themselves. While we work out why not, and why her 14-year-old daughter wasn’t the first spokesmodel for her own teenage fashion line, we’ll just let you know Taylor’s got one less way in which to ruin your sofa cushions.
Taylor, of Gossip Girl fame, spent the end of last year representing Material Girl. Which, to be blunt, seemed to mean little more than she would make less than half-a-dozen appearances and pose for the promotional poster. That’s better than the paper round we shared at hecklerspray bedsit, which paid for our milk and cookies, when we were 17-years-old.
But, Taylor’s attempts were still pretty uninspiring and rushed. She didn’t exactly sound thrilled to pick up the gig, and deigned to wear trousers, for hours at a time, during promotional appearances.
The actress is no longer duty-bound to wear trousers, as she has been replaced by Kelly Osbourne.The 26-year-old replaces the teenager, after Lourdes wrote on the fashion line’s blog that they were ‘desperately seeking’ a new face. Which we’re blithely translating as, ‘There are only so many times we can wash Taylor’s eye make-up off our cushion covers before they start to fade!’
From Us Magazine:
?Material Girl is thrilled to confirm that Kelly Osbourne is the new face for 2011! We will be sharing all the details on this exciting new campaign in the upcoming weeks,? the rep confirms to UsMagazine.com. Osbourne, it seems, was the natural choice. ?Kelly?s always been a massive fan of Madonna and recently heard Lourdes idolized her, which she was very flattered by. It's a huge coup,? a source told Britain?s Sunday Mirror.
This is just marvellous. Because it means as we, of hecklerspray bedsit, try on the snazzy items we saw in Tiger Beat, we can stretch them out and not worry that we are the ones who raccoon smudged rings around the necks of all those shirts.
This was a guest post by Amy Grindhouse, which is genuinely brilliant and marvellous.
