Frances Bean Cobain Grows Up, Poses For Sultry Pics
Having been a (somewhat young) teenager when Nirvana shot to fame, it is with a mix of feeling old and feeling creepy I report that Frances Bean Cobain is now grown and apparently sexy.
The baby Courtney Love was pregnant with when she did the disastrous Vanity Fair profile with Lynn Hirschberg in 1992, who was a tiny toddler when Kurt Cobain took his own life in 1994- is now old enough to be tattooed and smoking in a photospread. Frances Bean Cobain is 18 going on 19, meaning if you watched MTV news reports about her parents’ wedding the first time around, you are very old indeed.
The gorgeous series of pics shot of the rock couple’s daughter, done in black and white by photographer Hedi Slimane, depict Frances Bean in several sultry but not overtly sexy poses- smoking, lounging and generally looking stunning. Perhaps the most striking thing about the punk princess is her resemblance to both parents- but most hauntingly, her father.
Unlike her platinum blonde mother and naturally towheaded dad, however, Frances Bean favors dark, black locks- and while not visible in the black and white shoot, she has his striking blue eyes. And while the gorgeous, grown up girl in the pics has hopefully cast off the pall of her father’s untimely and sad death, those of us who are old enough to remember his work probably can’t help but recall his last words about his daughter:
I have a goddess of a wife who sweats ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what I used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function.

Wow, she looks a lot like her dad.
Aug 10, 2011

Aug 10, 2011
Totes cray cray….kind of creepy
Aug 10, 2011
she's perfect
Aug 10, 2011
she looks exactly as her genetics suggests…trashy, greasy, nasty, and one bullet away from being her dad!
Aug 10, 2011
if that's sexy kill me now because this isn't a world worth living in!
Aug 10, 2011
As the article begins… "Having been a (somewhat young) teenager when Nirvana shot to fame, it is with a mix of feeling old and feeling creepy I report that Frances Bean Cobain is now grown and apparently sexy." Indeed! Ick!

She has a kind of interesting beauty, very unique look, a lot like Courtney. I wish her the best in life, and can only hope that she doesn't follow in her mother's crazy footsteps. I do hope, however, that she inherits Courtney and Kurt's brilliant artistry. They were both phenomenal artist, and like her, beautiful in their own way.

Beautiful girl…sad she didn't get to become a fully formed adult before making some decisions. A person changes a whole lot between the ages of 20 and 30. Huge amount…HUGE!
Aug 10, 2011
Wow Kristie, way to sum up the tragedy of losing her Dad to suicide… You rock chick!
Aug 10, 2011
Oh God, ewwwwwwwwwwwww. She looks so much like Courtney in these pics, though. I used to think she looked more like Kurt.
Aug 10, 2011
that comment is really nasty itself!
Aug 10, 2011
Being a 2yr old does not make her a somewhat young teenager when her dad killed himself. It makes her a 2 yr old toddler.
Aug 10, 2011
The truth will set you free!
Aug 10, 2011
But But she has a "cool dad" and she had tats and she edgy…with that cig…..TRASH!!!!!
Aug 10, 2011
Kristie's ignorance is very obvious.
Aug 10, 2011
Carla, read that again, it says when her dad tied she was a tiny toddler and is now a teenager. Did I miss something?
Aug 10, 2011
Kristie shes gorgeous! Dont forget that the photographer prob wanted that hard edge!
Aug 10, 2011
I am quite sure…she is well on her way!!!
Aug 10, 2011
oh, I'm sorry,,,she's great, her dad was a greasy legend, her mom a crack whore and she should be able to follow in there footsteps, as I suspect your fucked up spawn will be…still breast feeding the little 8 year olds…..I am far from ignorant….grow a set…!

I think in some pics you really see Kurt and in some, totally Courtney.
Aug 11, 2011
Trash bag… just like her mom.
Aug 11, 2011
No Sir! You, CAN read.
Aug 11, 2011
The writer was a somewhat young teenager when Kurt died, not Frances.
Aug 11, 2011
Kristie….Imagine if it was your dad??? Imagine how she would feel inside if she read what you wrote?? it makes me feel very sad inside that there is people that think like you
Aug 11, 2011
OMG… I can't believe what you are saying! Frances has a great head on her shoulders!!! To call Frances trashy,greasy,nasty,and one bullet away from being away from her dad, obviosly you know nothing about her!!!
Aug 13, 2011
She's grown up to be her own woman. When she was a baby, she looked just like her daddy, but I don't think she looks like either one of them now.
Aug 13, 2011
Girls like this have become a complete cliche.
Aug 13, 2011
She has stayed out of the public eye. Good for her, hope she does well, and she is pretty. But she shouldn't care what we think of her.
Aug 14, 2011
Speaking of white trash, only a jealous trailer trash skank would make remarks like that about a stranger who she's never met or heard speak. Sweety, put the Mad Dog back in your mouth, befor eyou embarass yourself.
Aug 28, 2011
lol comparatively, you look like trash
Oct 28, 2011
Kristie Lewis the truth is Courtney love is a murderer
Jan 12, 2012
or..how about her father's footsteps?cuz blowing your head off doesn't evoke"craziness" at all,right?
Apr 7, 2012
You are freaking rude.
Apr 7, 2012
You are a hater. Jealous much?
Apr 7, 2012
Not at all… look at all the news stories. Court has proven herself to be basic human trash… I hoped better for Bean. THat she's barely old enough to drive, vote etc, and she's already doing these things kinda sorta speaks for itself.

Didn't your mother teach you. If you don't have anything nice to say keep it to yourself. Who are you to judge?
