If you couldn’t tell by now, I’m pretty close to my mom. My mom is where I get my bitchy, judgmental, contemptuous side, and we also share an obsessive interest in celebrities (right?). My mom and I are more “friends” at this point than mother-daughter, although that wasn’t always the case. When I was a teenager, my mom was definitely my mother, and she could out-mom everybody – she’s a teacher too, so when all else fails, she puts on her judgy teacher voice and can cut anyone down to size.
My point? When I was seventeen, I wouldn’t have been able to pull off any part of what Raccoon McPantless is pulling off in these new photos. That’s Raccoon’s MOM in the photos. Raccoon is 17 years old, mind you. And she’s pantless and smoking a cig.
Do you know what my mom would have done if I had walked in like this at the age of 17? She would have grabbed the cigarette and put it out on my eyeball. And then when I was crying, she would have ordered me to put on some pants so I wouldn’t look like I was “advertising my whore services in the Penny Saver.” You know what? To this day, if I walked up to my mom like this, she would still do that. So what’s Raccoon Senior’s problem? Is she afraid of actually mothering her pantless daughter?

Yeah. If I’d tried that (at ANY AGE) Mom would have kicked my arse!
Smoking, at Mom’s house, is a sin. Not to be tolerated. The face (or I should say “the face”) one gets for a lit cigarette is amazing (even when you’re in the yard, like 50 yards away from an open window! “So-and-so” is SMOKING. AGAIN! I really thought that with (the last pregnancy; the new baby; the lack of employment) “so-and-so” would have quit.
Maybe she would rather be her “friend” than her mother.
Happy Friday, bellaluna!
@ brin – Happy Friday, girlfriend! Awesome, it’s time for HGF!!!! 😀
Her momma is loving the attention – she obv doesn’t care about being a ‘mother’ just wants her daughter to remain famous so she can be Dina Lohan Mark II
Hoping Taylor has a better head on her so doesn’t end up like lovely Linnocent… Time will tell
i don’t get why you always pick on this girl. yeah she should put some pants on and stop with the heavily dark eyes but she’s a teenager and god knows how i dressed as a teen. it wasn’t pretty. but it was me trying to find myself because teens are drama queens and they need that kind of things to express they’re drama. luckly i had great parents that respected me and most times dind’t liked what i was wearing but still supported me and i turned out great.
as for the smoking… well it’s better that mom knows. the lying is the worse i believe.
my brother and sister are smokers and my parents made sure to show them they hated that and they don’t smoke next to any of them because to this day mom and dad still do the look. that look that makes everyone feel guilty.
Maybe she would rather roll in the dough than be her mother, brin. Neither may be the case and her mom might actually think she’s just letting Taylor be Taylor but this seems… misguided. At best.
Happy birthday, bella luna!
Judging by the little puffs, she’s a poser-smoker. Her mother looks like a jersey shore reject who was ridden hard and put up wet.
That jacket looks like something Jetta, the granma from The Nanny, would wear.
Yeah, her mom looks like a real winner alright.
Is Racoon McPantless engaged? She looks like she is wearing an engagement ring (perhaps, Ranger Rick is looking to score a younger, hotter, trashier wife in his old age).
She wants to make as much money and fame off her daughter now while she still can. And when her daughter is a tried up drug addict has been, make more money by writing a tell-all.
I would have done just what you described if i had a daughter and she did this. I was raccoon mcpantless as a teen though. in answer to your question, isn’t taylor the one that said her mom used to drop her off at auditions and taylor would just cry and cry because she wanted nothing to do with it? something, there’s some terrible mom story. so, her mother is a wanna be fame whore who probably loves what her daughter is doing so long as it brings in money. even if it means that her daughter has terrible self worth and hates her mother
Raccoon is very pretty without all the makeup. Her mom looks like she was ridden hard and put away wet.
Kaiser – your mom sounds a lot like my mom – Legends!
kaiser – yes, sounds like my mom too. if my sisters or i went pantsless in public my mother would have washed our mouths out with soap and grounded us for a month while predicting ominous futures for us based on our slatternly ways. yeah, she’d probably do it even now.
but then again my mom is not a famewhoring skank.
A bad case of roots she’s got going for her. I now know what I’ll see when if I look under the pantless shirt.
This is why pop culture is a joke – this silly poser actually thinks – and believes that people think – she is a rock star. Sorry, Jimi, janis, etc. were great, authentic, and massively talented; raccoon mcpantless is just a corporate confection ignored by just about everyone. What true fan of rock would take this poser seriously?
This girl is a has been at a very early age. We wont even know who she is 5 years from now. She will mature (i hope) and be embarrased by how “cool” she thought she was.
Ruby Red beat me to the punch. Without reading the article and only seeing the header pic my first, last, and only thought was Mother Crackhead and Baby Crack 2.0.
Like most of your mothers mine would also be similar, even today and I’m over 40. How sad that these so called “mothers” would whore out their daughters and allow them to drink, do drugs, and go to nightclubs as teenagers for a dollar bill.
The apple didn’t fall far from the skank tree, did it?
she’s young and those barely there dresses are all over the place (and on people who shouldn’t be wearing them ie. JLO). who cares? she can wear what she wants and a lot of people smoke- doesn’t mean her mom isn’t a good mother. sheesh!
No way I could have pulled this off. In elementary/middle school my mother wouldn’t allow me to wear shorts to school (which is when those short jean shorts were in). It was kind of random (and drove me nuts) but became a non-issue as I got older and became more conservative in the way I dressed.
I would have loved to see my mother school Taylor. She would have yanked the cigarette out of her hand, stamped on it, and then made her cover up in a pair of leggings.
@jover, while I certainly do not think McPantless is a true rock artist, I recently discovered that I enjoy her singing voice a lot. To me she is a fun singer with a passable backup band. And I am, as it happens, REALLY a rock fan. I have been a Who fan since 1985, when I was ten and a half and heard Tommy for the first time and couldn’t stop listening to it. I could go on to establish cred but I won’t.
Anyway though, although I don’t know Momsen the Elder obviously, I think she very much looks and carries herself like someone who is terrified of her actual age. Straight women like that who have young “attractive” daughters tend to want to buddy up with them, and forget to mother them, if the terror of age is great enough. Momsen Senior FAIL.
Judging from what I’ve seen this CHILD wearing I doubt her mom has any control. If she forced her into the industry this is a definite “f***you mom” I’m a 23 ( 24 on Tuesday) mother I could never get away wit this when I was her age & now. I wore skirts to my knees & they were still to short for my mom ( they would ride up)
“then who’s paying the bills? Hollywood kid…” -family guy
I realize my circumstances for smoking at age 15 are different from Taylor’s. I suffered very huge panic attacks for about 3-4 times a week and smoking helped calm me down after I had them. My parents weren’t happy at first I was smoking, but figured it was better than turning to other things (i.e. drugs or alcohol) to help myself through that time.
They bought me cigarettes until I turned 18 and would walk around with me while I was smoking.
While I doubt that Taylor Momsen smokes to help calm her nerves (bitch probably does it to make herself seem “edgy*), I don’t think we should be too quick to judge.
And when I was a highschool, I dressed in ways that made my mother cringe and say, “You’re going to wear that?” But I went through my goth/punk phase, and she understood that dressing like that made me happy.
Of course, I think Taylor does more than smoke, obviously drinking and probably experimenting with some drugs, as any normal teenager.
So while I think she is a poseur to the highest extreme and think she’s generally stupid, she is also just doing normal teenage things. After all, it’s not 1950 anymore.
Argh, I can’t believe I’m defending her. >.<
Her mom definitely looks like she’s going for the cool, hip mom look. First thing I thought when I saw the pic was old pro, teaching the newbie the ropes
Her mother is gorgeous. I love Taylor Momsen. I think she’ll be fine. I think parents that know what their kid is doing might have a better shot at staying in their lives. Taylor has a lot of talent.
It all seems such a photo op situation. “I’m so punk that I can smoke in front of my mom!”.. In all photos, she is just holding it like.. here, look at me, I’m a bad ass! She might be, yes.. but the kind of music she does, needs that kind of an image she’s putting on.. and part of that, might be an act.
two words: Stage mom.
and stage moms just don’t care as long as they get their percentage.
I keep posting this here, no one notices. EMANCIPATED MINOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You must must MUST do a post about her going pantless in Japan!!!
