Being 13 has nothing to do with it…

The thing is, a lot of people make a big deal about Tavi Gevinson’s age. For me, it’s not that she’s in middle school that’s so annoying- it’s more the fact that she seems to have encyclopedic knowledge of the fashion world, she gets to interview designers at New York fashion week, she gets stuff from Miu Miu sent to her to use in her own personal photos shoots (which appear to be staged in the alley behind her house) and she pulls off a short bob with bangs better than Natalie Portman in The Professional (I never thought I’d see the day…)

When I say annoying, what I really mean is sweet. Sweet like a metal band, not like a Hello Kitty perfume…

Of course, for someone who has as much access and influence as she does, she manages to keep it pretty down to earth and not take things too seriously. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention she’s really witty…

Just take a look at one of her most recent posts on her blog stylerookie where she decided to re-imagine the new Lady Gaga and Beyonce video “Telephone.”

When I first saw this hyped up video I was like “Another song about a phone?!? You’ve got to be kidding me…” Some of you may remember the somewhat shorter and less catchy video for the song Videophone, the first colab between Gaga and B.

The “Telephone” video featured stale dialogue, blatant product placement for Virgin Mobile and that gross pussy wagon from Kill Bill. Blah. The only kind of cool part was the scene where Gaga uses soda cans as big-ass hair curlers. That was rad.

Anyways, blogs were meant to be shared with the world, that is their nature. Now you have one more to distract you while you are at work.
