Judging by the four page spread dedicated to her in today's Independent Extra supplement, coupled with her flat appearance at the NME Awards last week, it would appear that she's now well and truly jumped from being mere filler for the free sheets
What's all the fuss about though?
From what I can tell, she's not *that* good to look at. Sure, she's got supposedly 'cool' hair and dresses well, but take that away and you've got a rather plain girl with a dodgy chin from Lancashire
Or am I wrong?
"a rather plain girl with a dodgy chin from Lancashire"
The face of a generation for sure
Someone has to be draughted in to replace the ubiquitous Ms. Moss though surely?
who else would be a candidate (must be British of course) ?
She doesn't do much for me
Lazy bitch
I know
my room is a fucking tip.
:)
I have no opinion on this little Lancashire hottpot
...but please allow me to express my delight at finally hearing somebody who will admit to reading the Independent!
:D
ha!
I have to read a different paper every day for work, hactually. Today was the turn of the Independent
Guardian 4 life
i read it!!!
...hmmmm
1 Indy reader was a miracle
but, 2? A mirage, surely?!!
:D
She's good looking
But not amazing. Her voice and her "I'm from the north and I'm really, like, normal" shtick really pisses me off.
I only found out who she was about a week ago
Obviously not the face of my generation. I'll stick with Fed Dibnah.
^ The face of Fray Bentos
k-fed dibnah
Fed-de Legrande Dibnah?
Put Your Hands Up For Garstang?
She's well good at liek
wearing clothes n' shit. Much better than me.
She's very unique looking, but so are a lot of people.
If she's the face of a generation then that means i've slept with women that are better looking that the face of a whole generation, which makes me feel a little less useless.
I, like, like the look of her, like.
But, like, other than that, like, she gets on my fucking tits, like.
If she was, like, serving me chips in my local chip shop, like, I'd, like tell her, like, that if she said "like" one more fucking time, like, I'd jump over the counter and deep fry her head, like.
dresses well?

I still think she looks like Robbie Fowler though.
the first one is mildly passable
but still screams 'cunt'

i bet you could find three photos of anyone dressed like a bit of a spanner......doesn't really show anything!
*Angus Deyton
She like looked like
totally hot like on her interview with jonathan ross like but like oh my god like shut up like
Does anyone actually care about her?
It's like when Daisy Lowe was supposedly the fulcrum of all boho fashionistas. IT'S THE DAUGHTER OF THE SINGER FROM POWDER!
i thought she was the daughter of dude from Bush
and some groupie woman? was groupie woman in a band? or am i getting groupies mixed up?
Supergrass, innit
Powder.
They were ace, for about 16 minutes in 1993.
they were great live
i saw them in '95 i think, at some free festival in leeds. plus pearl is hott
daughter of gavin rossdale from bush, and pearl lowe
but brought up by pearl and danny from supergrass
and simon t can shhh - daisy lowe is amazing!
when will there be a 'face of the generation'
that has some buxom breasts
There probably is
it's just that nobody's looking at it
a face/breast combo
should only be performed by two people
otherwise it just looks like face tumours
^underrated
<3
best. post.
ever.
Well volunteered!

Who is she?
http://www.liverpoolpies.tv/fowlerkb%20(2).jpg
I'm not having a good day am I?
remember that day when my keyboard broke? even that was better than this.
she annoys me
she is trying to do a kate moss.. but its so contrived
Love her or hate her.. Kate Moss is a genuine phenomena that has actually had a significant cultural impact on popular culture in the 90s/00s but that was quite an organic process... Agyness Deyn's rise as a model seems really manufactured
Good points
Also, her real name is Laura Hollins. How's 'Laura Hollins' ever going to be the face of a generation?
she chose to be called agyness deyn?
Yep
It's bizarre. Having the chance to choose your own name is one of the greatest opportunities known to man
Me?
I'd be Fabrizio Juggernaut
there is some story behind the name
her mum chose it or something.. some mystic hippy bullshit aparently
um
Agyness Deyn
=
Deny Gayness
Independent goes Hello/OK shocker
"Laura Hollins chose Agnes Dean as her going-to-be-famous name, while her mother, Lorraine, somehow conjured the look of the name – its styling, if you will– by applying some of the wisdom she has gained through being a master of reiki healing. Or after reading an article about numerology in a magazine. Depending on what you prefer to believe. Anyway, it is not whimsical, this name, it is serious and somehow spiritual. And edgy. Or something"
"The trademark blond crop here appears suitably unkempt, and those all-important dark roots are proudly on display – a must for anyone working a street-inspired look that at least pays lip-service to Madonna circa True Blue, but is rather more "real" – as the parlance goes – than that."
Go back to campaigning for political prisoners and ripping George Bush apart, you stupid bastards.
Is it Deborah Ross?
I'm not sure any newspaper contributor makes me as frustrated as her.
(Alright, apart from Tim Dowling)
I think she's pretty.
She seems alright.
...
She has the face of Yazz and (in the words of a Tory MP) looks like she dresses in Boy George's house, in 1997, in the dark.
Seeing as this is the second time I've read her name, I have to ask: Who is she and what does she do?
she's a model
she models
...
...is that it?
yeah
i guess also, she is considered a style icon
what's your point, tunde?
she's a model. she models. she's a style icon as alley says. i don't particularly like her, but being all incredulous is a bit silly of you
no, i think he has a point
why would the face of our (or rather, your, as it means for Brits) generation be someone who doesn't do anything? she works as a model, she has her own sense of style, and so what? that says nothing about a generation, except maybe that they're vapid or shallow (which is not to say that Deyn is vapid or shallow, just that having a model as a representation is empty)
but we've always had faces of a generation
it's nothing new or unique at all.
i don't think she's it, but that's neither here nor there
???
i'm not saying it's weird having a face of a generation, just that it's silly to say a model who is unnotable for anything other than being a model is it
what was kate moss notable for really?
or twiggy?
or whoever else...
i think it's perfectly fine that a mere model can be the face of a generation - if her look and style and general aura embodies the spirit of the age and all that
that's a fair point
stealthy still has a point as well. and i still think it's silly, it would be nice if it could be someone who's *done* something. although i wouldn't know who to suggest, really.
how about ?
http://xrl.us/bg7m5
i don't know who that is
...should i?
Rose West
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_West
read her story it's a very happy tale
ah
she's more my mom's generation
don't they teach you anything in school these days ?
i've heard of her actually, i just didn't know what she looked like or what her name was
also, I'M AN AMERICAN, I DON'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES AND THINGS
(^ kidding, if there was any question)
it's history
don't they teach you about the history of serial killers any more, they did in my day
well it's not like models don't *do* anything...
you know what i mean though
don't get me wrong, i'm not someone without an appreciation for fashion and those involved. just it's not the first thing i'd want to represent my generation.
...
I don't think it's all that silly to wonder what Johnathan Ross could find to talk about with someone whose profession is wearing clothes.
modelling, travelling, interesting storied about photographers
stylists, editors etc...?
and just her general attitude, sense of style, fashion inspirations?
can't be any worse than the Morrissey interview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvkhPtqfAtQ
...
Yes, good one. You're right, Ross would just do what he usually does when he's booked a useless guest: turn the interview into a cascade of smut and interesting objects people have sent in, plus the always good internet clip the rest of the world got bored of 4 months ago. I call it The Norton.
to be honest i'd find it more interesting than him talking to some rubbish musician
as in : -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvkhPtqfAtQ
...
Because musicians don't have stories about travelling and being photographed, or because they do, but the thought that they might prefer to talk about actually creating something bores/scares you?
yes
when i see any show with an interview with a musician i get scared, hold me stealthy don't let me be afraid any more
<3
i never got what that meant
is it a good thing ?
it means i want anal
give or recieve ?
cause i'm happy to receive, but i don't do any of that strap-on freaky shit, but maybe for you vikram i'll make an exception
a top model > rubbish musician
...
I guess we'll never know. Because 6 months from now it'll be Aggynez Who?
Unless she starts fucking a rubbish musician.
Stealthy Drops Truth Bombs!
jim jeffries was great by the way
he did a skit where he named his microphone mohammed and simulated it bumming him. it were ace!

not eat chips or pies, or drink pints
earn less than me
not sound like summat off of Corrie
