Since I’ve not-so-recently become obsessed with English culture and TV shows, I’ve noticed how much the UK seems to accept Courtney Love. They think she’s cool. They think she spouts wisdom. They think she’s stylish.

Wait: this woman?

It’s baffling. Do they not realize that she was probably legally removed from the US for being a bat shit crazy, drug-addled bag lady? Apparently not, because the genuinely “cool” Brits keep her around.

Still, when I read about Topshop’s new shirt with Love’s face on it—called “Clown Girl”—I assumed it was finally an example of Blighty picking up on her trainwreck ways. It’s got to be a joke, right? No. It’s an artist’s rendition of “modern femininity” (see below) because Love “isn’t afraid to be creative with her look.”

I’m sorry — this woman?

Seriously? Courtney Love as a beacon of feminine style? Seriously?? Maybe once upon a time, but have you seen her lately? Have you seen her FACE lately? Her hair? I don’t believe these things to be an intentional style, but rather a sad degradation of what she used to be. Her appearance is like a visual manifestation of her inability to stop. Too much heroin results in too much eye shadow and garter belts around her head.

There is one person in England who seems to see through her though:

Anyone who knows me at all is aware that my two favorite things in the world are Nikki Sixx and Comic Con. And guess what! I get to cover them both for American Photo magazine! (Nikki Sixx takes pixx in his non-Motley Crue time, and the unit photographer from The Watchmen movie is releasing a book of his set photos.)

In all seriousness now, I’m actually pretty excited for both of these. Having known little about Nikki Sixx before interviewing him (other than the fact that the Crue has an awesome Behind the Music), he turned out to be really dedicated to photography. So I like how that article has shaped up. And all I have to say about Comic Con is this: Wolverine. Will Hugh Jackman make an appearance? If so, I may fan girl all over the place.
