Frances Bean Cobain 2011

Francie Bean Cobain is the JFK Junior of rock and roll. Her father couldn't be loved more or remembered in more reverence and the reflected affection for Frances is self-evident. Even we aging cynics at rock nyc adore her and wish her well (er, except Helen of course!

Alyson sent me these pix taken by French photograph Hedi Slimane -he was the house photographer for Yves Saint Laurent at one time.

These pix of Francis speak for themselves though quite what they are saying I am not sure. between losing her father when she wasn't yet 2 to dumping her mother when she wasn't yet 18, she is a beautiful girl and seems rebellious, troubled, with cig trembling and "I'm not afraid to die" on her arm as well as eagles and hummingbirds. A tattoo on her back says "Art is the solution to chaos." Well, quite.

Here is Frances walking the dog and I will post more pix by Slimane when I get round to it.
