MTPS

Hello there,

It has been a really long time since I wrote you! Almost a month!
I was extremely busy with all my exams and I still am, Thursday is my last one (English). let's hope I'll pass them all.
The reason that I'm writing you is because I saw/read an article in 'H&M magazine, spring 2010' about MTPS: Model Turned Pop Star. The article tells us that it is a common matter for fashion icons to turn into pop stars. Supermodel Nico back in the sixties for example, she switched her modeling career for singing in 'The Velvet Underground'. "Today an new generations of models and it-girls are taking the step off the catwalks and up on stadge" the article says, for example: Coco Sumner (former Burberry model), Agyness Deyn (model), Kate Moss (model), Leigton Meester (actress, well known from Gossip Girl) and Taylor Momsen (also a Gossip Girl star). The last one, miss Momsen, has been really inspiring to me lately. Her rocking-style and original ideas made me gain interest for her musicial career.
When I first heard the song Make me wanna die, from her band The Pretty Reckless, I immediatly wanted to listen to it again (thank you Vera for let me listen to it). I also like the lyrics of the song; it's edgy, forceful and reminds me of rock 'n roll. For example: Taste me, drink my soul. Show me all the things that I shouldn't know. .
Anyway, you should check out some of those bands/ people like The Pretty Reckless, Leighton Meester (and her new electro-pop album), Coco Sumner and The Ghost of a Saber Toothed Tiger (Sean Lennon (!) and Charlotte Kemp Muhl).
Lots of Love Luke
