this girl TAVI, this 13-year-old-or-so style blogging girl who is so funny!

@tavitulle

omg stop http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/11/jamie-king-smart-parody-or-destructive-stereotype/281838/ … i am done with think pieces on teen girls by grown men

no wait just one more

does that mean she is not done with grown male australian comedians playing teen girls?

i've seen previews for that show and it seems aggressively unfunny.

Tavi Gevinson ‏@tavitulle 7h

also: think pieces on millennials. narcissism required to author a think piece = (if not GREATER THAN) narcissism required to take a selfie

She gets an allowance just like a normal teen.

is she some kind of perma-teen, i feel like she should be like 20 now

i know someone my age who writes for Rookie and refers to Tavi as "my boss"

jealous you know lena dunham

Yeah, seems like she should be at least 20.

Being Tavi's Mom

I wish I could read that

big news for tavi! http://www.playbill.com/news/article/189820-Michael-Cera-Kieran-Culkin-and-Tavi-Gevinson-Will-Star-in-Broadway-Premiere-of-This-Is-Our-Youth

Excited!

Really want to see it at Steppenwolf. Not just because of her, either -- I've always wanted to see a Lonergan play.

this girl is obviously preternaturally intelligent and wise but having gone to a left-wing summer camp/hung out with a lot of smart children of (essentially) hippie parents from oak park, evanston, etc. i kind of know where she comes from. i remember some girls at summer camp who were sophisticated and articulate beyond my 13- or 14-year-old imaginings. i mean, i was basically still eating my boogers at that point.

who, had no idea I Love Style existed much less that I posted on it. oh well.

Surprised me appearing on Parenthood.

so i guess shes graduating from high school atm?

She just turned 18 the other day, so prob.

On the 21st. We share the same B-Day, I'm old enough to be her Mom.

Toward the end of the play’s run at Steppenwolf, Lonergan flew to Chicago to check in on his work. After the show, Cera and Gevinson joined him for dinner. “It’s just so refreshing to see a pretty young woman order cheese,” Lonergan says of Tavi. Over all that cheese, Lonergan and Gevinson got into an argument about Beyoncé that Cera summed up as, Is Beyoncé the standard-bearer for mediocrity (Lonergan) or an important cultural figure (Gevinson)? “She likes to argue and so do I,” says Lonergan, “and she’s really smart and so am I, so you end up having these discussions about interesting and broad-ranging topics. But then I find it very charming that she’ll go from mentioning a talk she gave in Australia at 16 to complaining about ‘Why does my dad care if I go to bed late?’ Or how annoying it is that her best friend is in Costa Rica and she can’t text her.”

Wow, Lonergan sounds like kind of a dick

so refreshing to see a pretty young woman ordering cheese

agree
he sounds way out of touch and really irritating to argue with over dinner, however delicious

Ha. Lonergan was in the audience at the performance I saw. He looked sort of lonely. Love his work, though.

Love his work, though I respect & admire Tavi more, obv.

This looks like Miley doing a Tavi imitation:

Several years ago we spoke with Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist and he said that because of your age – you were about 14 at the time – “it is like a five-year old Michael Jackson singing about love – to him they are just words.”

That young people don’t have valid thoughts about the world because they haven’t been alive long enough is sadly a very popular and, frankly, unoriginal sentiment. When I think about that time, I was just responding to the world around me. And I was perceptive enough that I felt like I could make connections to things in my life. I don’t think it was abstract. And I am basically skeptical of any adults who have those kinds of things to say about young people because it seems to always very transparently stem from fear and insecurity. And to be honest, the fact that he’s shorter than me in real life.

Last sentence is a bit cheap but otherwise tavi otm as usual

the sartorialist dude is a fucking dipshit but the idea that youth voices are not heard with piercing clarity across cultural life is kinda ridiculous

certain youth voices i should say

being heard and being taken seriously are different things tho which seems to me what tavi was getting at
