‘Wonder blogger’ or media hogger??

I had to sit down when I read this yesterday. During my lunch time scour of anything fashionable, I came across the 'Vogue blog' and read about 13 year old blogger ‘Tavi Gevinson’. Labelled ‘wonder blogger’ I think its safe to say the ideal American fame lifestyle is setting into kids very, very early. Should we be promoting this fame ideal as a standard we should all strive for??!

It seems like people have lost sense of conventional ideologies, everyone is looking for fame and glory.

Should a 13 year old kid be in school, I was even more shocked to go on to see the press praising her. Reading over her blog ‘Style rookie’ I was shocked and amazed at the maturity funnelled into the writing, however the idea of a ‘wonder blogger’ to me is someone depicting every virtue of fashion, I found ‘style rookie’ to be blah, more quantity than quality. The recent McQ post’s were stunning, but let’s face it the images speak for themselves.

I guess this is one of those controversial topics where fame and glamour takes priority over conventional education and general conformism. until were mature enough to truly understand the how to make decisions and accept the consequences. Now many of you may be thinking hypocrite, but at 13 isn’t it subtle exploitation of a girl that is gifted creative author, rather than letting her develop her personal talent, the media have latched on to the non conformism of her choices and publicised young rebellion.

Too many teens are ruined by fame. Lets just hope this doesn’t go to her head….

Good Luck Tavi
