Stymie. Noun. A situation or problem presenting such difficulties as to discourage or defeat any attempt to deal with or resolve it, Verb: To hinder, block, or thwart.Fuck it. I'm completely stymied. I got nothing. You try to come up with something mean-spirited or snarky to say about Frances Bean Cobain when she appears in a photo spread like this -- she looks positively dignified. She's not exposing too much of herself. She doesn't look trampy. Or drugged out. She just looks like a kid playing dress up for a high-profile cover shoot. She's a little packet of adorable, I tell you. And to turn out as well as she has with that Mom? And no father? She must have had one hell of a decent nanny.
Good for her.

She does, in two of those photos, appear to be missing an arm.
She didn't have one hell of a nanny. She's a testament to the truth about Courtney, which is that the media spins a lot of BS about her. While she has had drug problems, and has suffered from depression, she's a decent person, smart woman, and a good mom. She's outspoken, and her rep has paid dearly for that. But the Courtney character is obviously not the Courtney person, or else FBC wouldn't be such a solid kiddo.
That, or, you know... Because it was her grandmother that mostly raised her. But I'm sure Courtney did a bang-up job those couple of times she was sober.
^ Yeah, what pixie girl said.
Uh, actually she's a testament to Kurt's mother, because until a couple of years ago, that's who had sole custody of her.
Courtney Love is a hot mess and always will be.
What magazine is carrying this artless, boring spread? Not one of those costumes is memorable. I gather they were going for Scarlett, Evita, & Kathy Valentine for outfit inspiration. Are we sure that Kurt's the father, cuz this kid doesn't look a whole lot like him, poor witto ting. More like a young Roz from Frasier. Ye gods, is this what we have to look forward to 15 years down the line from Matilda Ledger?
How cute. She has Courtney's original nose and lips.
She has her mother's good side I see.
I'm not getting the photo shoot. What's the concept? Movie roles that Courtney imagines she was robbed of?
Her mom totally killed her dad...with a shotgun.
go bake you some more slims, barbados: it's "SHOULDER OF ORION" ya ignorant beachcomber.
Is it just me, but I find it difficult to see "drug problems" and "good mom" in the same sentence.
