Wow, a model. How very unusual! I would admire a celebrity kid who actually made something on behalf of their own. A teacher, skilled worker or whatever. Except model or "designer". That would surprise me!

Not sure why designers get a bad rap . . . if they're actually designing things. Jony Ive does alright.

Have any of them done anything of substance?

She's an 18 year old kid. Trying to find her place in the world. Artistic, arores her Gramps. Pretty tough, judging someone who hasn't had a chance to figure out who she is yet. Let the kid grow up first. Feck!

There is nothing creative about wearing clothes for a living because you have famous DNA and good looks...

WHy should the off spring of the wealthy have to do anything at all...we work to earn money to pay the bills...they don;t need to worry about that. I'm sure all of us given the choice would prefer to be involved in creative things rather than the dull, tortuous 9-5 which steals the best years of your life and spits you out the other end at a point where your body is well into disintegration.
If I had parents who were rock stars there would be no way I'd volunarily work unless it was in an area of say music, the arts or travel.. I guess Marlon bucked the trend as didn't he go into some sort of financial work?
Work is evil, it is enforced on us and causes us untold physical and mental harm...it's a miracle we are here in the first place but then to be forced to spend 40-50 years of this one shot at life working is criminal but that's the way most of the world is.
Good luck to all the children of musicians, I hope they pursue whatever they feel is their way in the world - creativity is always superior to paper shuffling, computer work or factory production lines. Oh and you can add teaching to that list as well - did it for years.

I disagree. Models set the mood and present clothes in context- they are more than hangers.
In some ways, models are often selected b/c they embody the style the designer is going for.
yeah, you're right. It's just like writing Gimme Shelter, writing Slaughterhouse Five or painting Guernica. Walk this Way.Quote

Hairball, my understanding , and I may be misinformed, is that her involvemnt with the alligator poster was bascially pasting the tongue onto someone else's art work.
In no way am I saying any of these young people are saints, making wise decisions, or any of that. All I am trying to say is that they are a product of their environment. If they decide to say "screw it" to the traditional Protestant Work Ethic that is the standard of behavior in the industrial word and use their position and whim to become fashion designers and models we criticise while we idolize their elders for pissing on gas station walls and displaying 5 decades of bad behavior.
"She could leave the tour" Do we know that? Maybe this is a family's decision, right or wrong , to give direction and order to a young person's life that lacks both. I would not want my daughter to make the choices some of these young people have made, I would not want my child to be exposed to the pressure that these youngsters had. Marlon got to see the world before he was 10, by law my position as an MD would require me to report two heroin addicts raising a young man on the run to child protective services. Was it wonderful for him, was it hell?
