I ADORE LEIGHTON MEESTER


Leighton Meester, one of my favorite young actresses at the moment, has signed a record deal and is making an electro-pop album to be released this fall. Hell to the yes! She is featured on the new Cobra Starship song, Good Girls Go Bad. Cobra Starship are emo-pop-rock and their songs have always been a tad too heavy for me, but this bubbly, super fun ditty with Leighton is pop to the core. It's extremely catchy and there's a sassy clap and stomp part in the middle. I first I questioned Leighton's vocal chops. They are somewhat reminiscent of the Tiz's. Leighton sings her verse well though. She's somewhat convincing. I can't wait for the video. It involves Leighton running a speak easy with a deli as the front for it. Sounds fantastic. What a great song to blast!





Also, as a side note, the above photo is of Leighton (in Louis Vuitton) at the Costume Institute Gala in New York a few weeks ago. There has been much debate over this outfit. Entertainment Weekly gave it an "F", but I think it is absolutely fierce and kooky. I love the everything about the look: the pattern, the orange and the bows. Leighton be the shiz.
