Coming of age.

Last week, the daughter of the late Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Frances Bean Cobain, starred in a photoshoot by Hedi Slimane that showed the world that she is indeed all grown up and looking every bit the culmination of her parents.


I was 9 years old when Kurt took his life, and i remember it very vividly... he was the star in my favourite band at the time and of course being very impressionable it was my first awareness of suicide and the reverbs it made through the music scene.


Learning he had a daughter made me wonder how she could ever get through it once she was old enough to realise the gravity of it all. And ive always had a soft spot for dear Bean.


Seeing her as this beautiful, dark creature appears to me as the full circle of my thoughts and still entraps my interest in following her life and how she survives in the big, bad world that swallowed her father.
