The Crush: Frances Bean Cobain

Oh gosh, how can Crush say this without coming across as desperately uncool?

It’s just, well, we’ve noticed Frances Bean Cobain around and *squirms*, she’s so rad and we, err, find her very attractive. She’s going to hate us now, isn’t she? She’s going to think, ‘Who’s the lamo trying to light an electric cigarette behind the bike shed, wearing the wrong leather jacket, and the wrong DMs, saying “rad” and staring creepily?’ We’ve just blown our chances of finding Nirvana with the ultimate rock progeny and the unofficial coolest girl in the world right now. TYPICAL.

The thing is, dating this 21-year-old self-confessed ‘Goth Wino’ would mean making a constant effort to be stylish, nonchalant, quirky — her Twitter profile claims she offers ‘supernatural favors’ and ‘reads too many f***ing books’ — how exhausting-yet-amazing. Other than being the daughter of Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, which is quite enough as far as we’re concerned, we’re not entirely sure what FBC actually does. A bit of modelling, a bit of art, a bit of Twitter — sounds like the ideal life.

But let’s not forget it’s only recently that Frances has morphed from a long-suffering Saffy, awkwardly straddling a grunge/Valley Girl look, endlessly embarrassed by Courtney’s bonkers declarations, into a major bombshell who’s patched up her differences with her ‘mom’, and become Hedi Slimane’s latest YSL muse. She might be all dyed hair, pouty lips and meaningful tattoos these days, but we’re convinced there’s hope for us yet.
