Cindy Lou Who is all grown up

and Pretty Reckless....

What would the Whos of Whoville think?

Before
After


After doing some time on the show Gossip Girls, Cindy (real name Taylor Momsen) decided to give up acting and focus her energies on music.  I have to say she made a pretty good choice.  This new thrashy persona is an ideal complement to her continuing career.

Her band, the Pretty Reckless, has a nice grungy alternative sound and would make a good soundtrack for the Grinch.  Includes songs such as: Make Me Wanna Die, Light Me Up, Nothing Left to Lose, Miss Nothing, Zombie, Cold Blooded, and Hit Me Like a Man.  The first full length album (Light Me Up) came out April of last year and the follow-up EP (Hit Me Like a Man) was out just last March.

They just finished a little tour in South America and are now back in the studio.
