YOUNG, RICH, AND SMART
Sydney’s Sun-Herald remarks of a 16-year-old fame gal:
She champions the war in Iraq, despises Michael Moore and thinks all fashion models are disgusting.
Who is she? Find out here.
(Via Adam Barnes)
Dammit, vegetarian. And blond, I hate blonds.

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 25 at 10:53 AM • permalinkAs famous blond Gillian Barbieri said at a game show, once, looking at her fellow contestants… “I don’t think any of us has curtains that match the carpet, if you know what I mean…”
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 25 at 10:55 AM • permalinkPS — I woulda spelled Barbieri’s first name properly but Tim used up all the “J’s”...*
*OK, except that one.Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 25 at 10:57 AM • permalinkThese adorable young ladies can be more effective in changing the views of the younger generation than any number of politicians and bloggers and if other children of aging rock stars find out they can get their pictures in the paper for taking contrarian views, watch for more of the same.
Peaches? I’m glad she grew up to fit her name.
I’m impressed. There’s still hope for this tired old planet.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 04 25 at 11:49 AM • permalinkCling onto that hope Jeff and never, EVER play an online game, otherwise you’ll be right back where you started.
Posted by Aging Gamer on 2005 04 25 at 11:51 AM • permalinkEh.
There are plenty of smart, right thinking 16 year old girls in the world who don’t lounge around in “kitten heels” with their 21 year old “DJ” boyfriends counting their piercings and daddy’s money that I would be much more interested in hearing from and about. I guess it’s just my reflexive American puritanism that makes me automatically dismissive of rich celebrities.
That said, she does seem to have a head on her shoulders, and a remarkable insight for a girl of her age and lineage. Here’s hoping she makes waves in the world, and gives up the silly vegetarianism for some greasy fish and chips.
She champions the war in Iraq, despises Michael Moore and thinks all fashion models are disgusting.
Is it just me, or does the tone of this seem to be the same way one says,
“She eats babies, likes Satanic rituals and drinks the blood of the innocent.”
Posted by Quentin George on 2005 04 25 at 05:25 PM • permalink“Of course, it’s terrible that millions of people have died, but if you think of Saddam Hussein…”
It must be sad to be smart but informed by idiots.
Posted by Aaron - Freewill on 2005 04 25 at 06:41 PM • permalinkYou have to feel sorry for a kid growing up in that kind of atmosphere, with those parents. Especially saddled with that ridiculous name. I feel her political views are probably just teenage contrariness intended to piss off her father and his friends, but she has to made of some stern stuff. Otherwise, she’d be tearing the heads off her dolls and drowning kittens for amusement.
I tend to agree with Rebecca…this seems to be at least partially a case of rebellion against the received orthodoxy surrounding her. But hey, if rebelling against your elders now means getting informed about the world and deriding drug users, rather than spouting Marxism 101 and spraypainting anarchist messages on the nearest McDonald’s, cool.
And c’mon folks, don’t dwell on her vegetarianism…as long as she doesn’t firebomb chicken farms, who cares? To each their own, and all that.
How poor do you have to be to make poverty history? Or is it how long you have to be poor….?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 25 at 11:55 PM • permalinkShe should have e-mailed George Soros.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 04 26 at 12:53 AM • permalinkLets all kick Michael Moore in the nuts.
Growing up with a Dad like hers I’m not in the least bit suprised. Can you imagine the drivel that she’s had to listen to over the years? Her Mum wasn’t exactly Stable Jane either. Be thankful she isn’t a born again fascist

Do you think the SMH noticed the irony that they were the ones suggesting all these utterly inconsequential “icons”? Fashion models, “style” experts? Not to mention the condescension: oh, look, a rich teenage girl. We know what she’ll want to talk about…
