I’ve gone after Chloe Sevigny here a couple of times (see below). I’m not sure why, exactly, but she just manages time and again to irritate the Hell out of me. Yes, I know she’s smart and cool and has good taste and actually knows and likes the bands on her t-shirts and is friends with cool people and blah blah blah, but I just find her to be so cloying.
Her latest stunt is an entirely unsolicited bit of bullshit that’s been making the rounds, that being a “Guide to Being a New Yorker.” Presumably conceived as a hip retort to the whole Taylor Swift nonsense of a few months back, Chloe’s attempt strikes me as just as vapid as Taylor’s and, well JUST NOT FUNNY OR CLEVER ENOUGH. Check it out for yourself.
Yes, I know I recently pointed out that being a native New Yorker ultimately doesn’t make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things, being that so many of the city’s storied movers, shakers and visionaries all came here from somewhere else, but I can’t stop myself from pointing out that Chloe was born in Massachusetts and then raised in Darien, Connecticut. Thus, NOT A GODDAMN NEW YORKER.
One other thought about this….
Not every New Yorker needs to “despise" Los Angeles. If fact, most New Yorkers probably don’t give L.A. that much thought. Moving to California isn’t something your average New Yorker spends a great amount of time ruminating on. That’s a showbiz concern, Chloe, not a New Yorker concern.
And joke all ya want, but knowing your past IS important. Yogurt never will be.
