Double Mint Gum Twins

I Picked Up The Most Recent Harper's Bazaar To Find a Familiar Face. But To My Shagrin The Name Attached To The Picture Wasn't The Beloved Alias I'm Used To Seeing Next To This Adorable Smile. The Name Tavi Gevinson Splashed Across The Article, a 13 Year Old Blogger That Has Attacked The Fashion World Like a Tiny Ninja. Embarking On Her High Fashion Blog "Style Rookie" At Age 11, I Was Beyond Perplexed,Impressed And Extremely Stressed. Here I Was Getting My Blood Draw At The Doctors Office Staring At This Article About This 11 Year Old Girl,Internationally Known (Internet), Still Struggling To Get Through Middle School And Is Rubbing Her Knees With Some Of The Biggest International Fashion Icons.




Tavi Was a Dead Ringer For My Beloved Friend And Confidante Emma MacWhinnie. Emma Is A Few Inches Taller,A Few Years Older and Has An Unauthorized Vision Of The World Filled With Experience and Passion. Tavi Earned Her Writing Skills From Her Mother, A High School English Teacher. Like Tavi, Emma's Forte In Art Stems From Being Surrounded By It Her Whole Life. Emma's Father An Epic Artist In The Hamptons,Who Has Support Her Prowess Into The Art World. Even As I Stared At These Photos, I Felt Like I Was Staring At a Familiar Face. But I Was Mistaken,Wrong,Fooled,Swindled,Bamboozled,And Being Drained Of Blood At An Exponentially Fast Rate. I Was Seduced By This Tiny Internet Sensation. Tavi Seems Like The Type Of Girl Who Can Inspire a Generation Of Designers,Hipsters,Trendsetters and Other Lonely Girls In Small Suburbs Looking For an Identity.




Emma Was My Muse For Many Photos Shoots During Our Adventures Together In a Reclusive World That Judge Our Passion For The Unfamiliar and Strange. We'd Smoke Cigarettes,Laugh,Paint Pictures Of Dinosaurs, And Discuss The Importance Of Cowboy Boots In Every Day Fashion. Through Out Our Love Affair Emma And I Recorded Majority Of Our Journey On a Daily Basis. Making Memories Was Our Biggest Hobby....





Since Tavi Started Her Blog in March 2008 She's Become a International Web Star,Receiving a Starling 30,000 Views a Day. Critiquing Clothes She Finds At Local Thrift Shops,Things She Finds Online and Magazine's She's a Refreshing Voice In a World Conquered By Old Queens and Lizard Women.





Emma Used To Work at a Western Store In Watermill, I'd Spend My Days Off From Work Laying in The Back Room Laying Upside Down With My Legs Over My Head,Whining About My Lack Of a Serious Drive. Emma Would Giggle, Reassure Me I Was Being Ridiculous and Offer Me A Treat.Then She'd Sell Cowboy Boots To a Hefty Woman Whose Breathing Hard And Slowly Eating a Hot Dog. Emma's Natural Ability For Color Contributes To Her Art Work And To Her Clothes. In 2009 Emma Started Sewing ans Designing Her Own Clothes,Hand Bags and Accessories. Her Artwork and Clothes Have Been Featured in Boutiques and Galleries All Over The East End.





Tavi's Taste in Hats,Stockings,Shoes and Skirts Have Even Inspired The Fashionistas At Rodarte For Their Line For Target. Emma Had Inspired Me on Many Of My Photos. Perfecting a Style Of Shooting To Distinctly My Own.




























To Summarize This Blog I'd Say Emma Is Naomi Campbell..She's The Veteran,The Innovator,The Original While Tavi is Tyra Banks...The New Kid On The Block That End Up Having a Multimedia Stamp On Culture....But Don't Forget Tavi, Naomi Is a Mondo Sadist And Isn't Afraid To Take Over The Catwalk....Tyra Had To Retire Because her Ass Got Too Fat. But Then Again Tyra Does Have American Next Top Model Where She Feeds On Her Young Females.She Sucks The Youth Out Of To Stay Tight.
