i don't follow fashion my ass! if she didn't follow fashion she would have a piece of string around her forehead or be wearing these 60's style clothes! correct me if i'm wrong, but these things ARE in fashion nowadays aren't they?

I think Peaches is cool. She's a marginally good writer too, so that helps. Don't sweat the haters Nylon.

5 stars for mentioning glass candy (love them!), -3 stars for peaches claiming she doesn't follow fashion...seriously? who are you trying to impress? nylon is a fashion magazine, you know, and you are writing for them...yeah, i think that's all that needs to be said.

awh, well i love peaches! good style, interesting read.

I think that Peaches is a good writer. I also like her fashion sense, and just because someone has good fashion sense doesn't mean they follow fashion. So shut up. Her writing is fine, and completely worthy of being in this magazine, because Peaches is amazing and so is NYLON.

barf, boring, more bad love letters to nyc please.

Peaches, love the blue tips and fashion column. Keep it up girlie!! Doc Martens, Courtney Love and grunge - reminds me of the good ole days. Can we take a time machine back when there was good music? Haha. Pay no attention to the haters - sticks up their ass.

w/e yall it's good

The music options seemed sound but the girl hasn't got a clue about fashion!

i am sorry, i love you nylon i really do, but i am an english major and this is just... *cringes* give me something that isn't cliche' or pretentious. how can one claim to not follow fashion and yet cite all the currently over publicized trends? To be honest, I don't care if she follows fashion. There is no shame in paying attention! Just don't assume we are dumb enough to believe that obvious lie. PS my hair had pink highlights last year.. must mean i am really bad ass PPS don't even try to critique my grammar, since this is an informal note and NOT a magazine article that I am being paid for.

I think everyone is being pretty mean. She's just giving an opinion & you can take it on board or not.

i love some of the bands shes talked about. but i dont agree with the fashion predictions.

I wish I could find it within me to like this girl: she's young and interested in 'stuff', but every time I see her oh-so-posed pictures and read her slightly cringey prose (full of name drops and studied cool) I feel like I've interupted a private masturbatory moment. She's so not what it's about to be British. Where's the self-deprecation? Where's the fun and humour? Instead she's all sneers and arrogance and posey-posey. *shudder* Take her away, please.

Thanks for the music options Peaches i really like HTRK you are right when you say that the coming year should rightfully be theirs ;) and dont lisent to the haters what do they know?

I wasn't a fan of the first column, but I did enjoy this article. I like that she is opening doors to bands/music acts - I am guessing that her background and current position expose her to many acts or performers to whom I have no access. As for fashion, I like her outlook, or at least the outlook she portrays here. It's personal, it's fun, do what you want. I would rather listen to the opinion of a young woman dressing for herself than to a board of critics judging someone like they were a prise show-horse in heels and a skirt. Although why a horse would wear heels and a skirt is beyond me....

I don't understand she doesn't follow fashion when that is her job?

she never said that hippies are coming back, just the look lol wow

Ugh, do not like her! get a dif. writer!

wait wait wait...peaches says thats she doesnt follow fashion, but then says that hippie chic is "fortunately still very fashionable." editors, are you even checking this?!

I don't even know who she is...and who cares? :)

Peaches top 'picks' for this year were Victim in Carnaby Street and Luna & Curious in Brick Lane. Meaning she 'picked up' stuff there without 'picking up' the bill. Trendy NY vintage boutiques selling doc martens, crazy patterns, hippie chic, baggy sweaters and anything in muted tones, be warned. Your biggest trend for 2009 should be .... INCREASED SECURITY!!!

i'm so over peaches. she's not the next cory, sorry.

Not the next cory? Come on, peaches is slightly better than cory, despite being an average writer. Both are actually pretty intolerable. Whats going on Nylon?

blue tipped hair?! oh peaches you inspiring rebel you!

blue tipped hair?! oh peaches you inspiring rebel you!

Are NYLON paying people to write positive comments for the column the second time around?

Do you have shit for brains?

Blue hair? Do your collars and cuffs match?

Peaches, you discussing the Cure? Love you weren't even born then. In fact.. you are 19. Stop pretending it is 1975 and you are hanging out in Studio 54. lots of love from the cobbled streets of London. You tedious twerp

OHMIGOD you dyed your hair blue! How... 2001! Seriously how do you manage to stay ahead in fashion? Well, by stealing stuff mainly I guess, staying ahead of the cops. Come on tell us more about life in NYC. Have you not spread your arms and embraces its energy lately? But what we all want to know: How is Bunny!? The wacky and totally cool best friend who amazingly wears hats and you know, does stuff that is totally interesting?!!

"and dont lisent to the haters what do they know? " Well we know she is a bellend that cannot write, doesn't know music and least of all knows fashion. FYI she is a bit of a joke here in the UK. Does Nylon know that? That you employd someone who has as much street cred as the crew of the Hills? Plus we all know she has loose fingers, is rude and seen a sa spoilt rich kid.

Ahhhhh...I see what the Editors have done here!! After discovering that Peaches is incapable of writing a real article - they have decided to slow down the pace by asking her instead to write a line or two on topics like "fashion"... something which a 7 year old could manage to muster an intelligent response to! However once again she fails. shame. why haven't they sacked her and hired a real journlist by now?! eh? Really!

Look who's been a busy girl! How DID she find the time to prepare this month's cutting edge cultural commentary?

What! No tips on the old five finger discount??? To shame.

This article would have been more interesting if she'd just stuck to the "blah blah blah" bit. That's how it actually sounds when you have to listen to her anyway. You know she's probably saying words of more than one syllable, cause she fancies herself as an intellectual. You know she thinks what she is saying is, like, REALLY important because of all the, like, expressiveness. But all you can hear is that monotonous "blah, blah, blah". Kind of an audio version of Chinese Water Torture. Listen to it long enough, and you lose the will to live. Poor, poor Max....

Without wanting to over-egg the "Peaches is a vile, talentless little brat" pudding, I had to attach this link from Perez Hilton's site posted in July (once I had stopped laughing). Finally, an explanation. The vacuous little twat only acts that way cause she's off her face on ... hairdye! Which would mean she's been getting her roots done 4 times a day since she was about 14! http://perezhilton.com/2008-07-23-worst-excuse-ever

Please get rid of her.

with a dad like bob geldof she should know alot about music and her opinion should be appriciated and taken seriously. clearly not. please stop writing.

i would never talk to you. im going to vomit on your BIG face.

lulz. read the name.

Peaches has left the UK. But she's still not far enough away. She can't write for toffee, wake up smell the coffee, SEND HER TO GUANTANAMO BAY

Peaches, sweetie? Lose the headband - we all know you have a massive forehead.

You don't follow fashion? The feeling's mutual, love.

My dear pony faced girl, I used to idolise your mother but that was because she had an innocent cheek to her, unfortunately I think yo have bitten off more than you can chew inventing yourself as a 'writer'. You are a young girl with very little insight into the world or literary competence. Stick to drinking free vodka and pretending you don't have a dug habit. Failing that, maybe pass English GCSE

Hail the rise of the idiots: I predict she'll be spotted in a t-shirt emblazoned with the slogan "stupid anorexic bitch" before the end of the year.

As i write this - from the cobbled streets of ol' London nonetheless - I have to admit this isn't as much of a stinking piece of festering arse tissue as the last one. Glad to be spared yet more searing analysis of the real america on the 'open road'. Still, these sad little electro offerings don't do it for me. And not following fashion? 'Course you don't follow it luv, you just nick it! Btw. you have to keep her. We still have Paris, don't forget. And there's still so much Peaches can teach you about music, fashion, life, your country. What a journey! Congratulations on Obama btw.

Nylon, spend your money on someone who can write, her literary "style" is just so empty and tired - I know this may be a publicity stunt to get people to buy more magazines, but the joke is over now, send her back to her Daddy!

Stay away from my boots.

If I could give this no stars I would. Her fashion tips are a joke - Doc Martens? I think its been done by every student in town. Baggy sweaters? The tramps down the street already do this. C'mon Nylon, get some decent writers in with some interesting fashion tips. I cannot beleive she actually gets paid for writing this drivel.

Brits-a-Broad, we do indeed still have Paris. We'll always have Paris. We didn't have - we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night. Now get on that plane.

Peaches Geldof is a Grade A numpty. She's one of these annoying try-hards who was hated at school for being pretentious. She needs to grow up out of the public eye. Who actually cares about anything she's got to say?

two fingers from fashion fabulous, follower.. right back atcha Vicks x o x

Dom Kaos - what can I say? My sincerest apologies, my condolences, my deepest sympathies. Alas she has returned. Oreos just don't puke up the same over here, I guess.

Who gave this airhead a job? Her writing is trite, she's certainly no expert in music despite her dad's genes, and her overall public demeanour makes me convinced she's a waste of space. I won't be reading again. Yawn!

What is the point of this article? Why is she given column inches? Because her dad is Bob Geldof - the man who got your money off you for live aid and most of it wound up in the hands of terrorists? Get rid of this talentless daddy's girl, for god sake.

One of Peaches dresses for whoever adds the comment that takes her down to one star.

BTW, nice to see you on the page Dom Kaos me old mucker! We've missed ya!

Why do you waste space on this vacuous girl? She has no talent and even less insight. Stop catering to Daddy's Little Girl!

She is awful. Just awful.

The writing is okay. Really, it is. The pity is WHAT she writes. It makes me sad to think that she feels she has to try so hard to be cool... I guess it comes from the anxiety that she'll never be better than her father, and that she'll never exist as a self-made creature. Which, I guess, is better for her in the long run, because her attempts at self-making a falling a little flat, don't you think?

"I heard the demo in a thrift store in Brooklyn and thought it was some late ‘70s No Wave band." This column is written purely to promote her own image, rather than to inform or entertain its readers. It doesn't even acheive her self-centred aim, because her ego is so overwhelming that it's blindingly obvious what she's up to from the first few lines.

I really don't know why the hell Peaches Geldof is famous! What is she bloody known for? Being Bob Geldof's daughter, marrying to get attention or getting caught with drugs! What possessed Nylon to take this degenerate on to write for them? There are plenty of good educated people in the world who know a lot about fashion, why are they not writing columns for Nylon?! Seriously Nylon.........read the comments and take action and sack this degenerate and give the coloumn to a well deserved person!

I am so disappointed in Nylon. Is being an 'it' girl all it takes to get a column. She can't write!!!

The big problem with this article is that Ms Geldof struggles painfully to convey the sound/style/mood of music without either overbaking the descriptions to the point of nonsense or, as she does nearly every time, just comparing said act to a list of other artists. Consequently, the hipper-than-thou cultural references sprinkled throughout column #1 are now troweled on from the opening line and ultimately say little more than 'I have a large CD collection'. Why, for example, does this 'bastard child' of Bowie (and who else?) sound like he is from a parallel universe just because the guitars and drums compliment his vocals? What on Earth is 'organize' music? Organ led? Search engines draw a blank. By the time Ms Geldof uses a claim to be too non-conformist to follow fashion to kick off a list of er, fashion trends she admires, you wonder what kind of control clause she has in her contract to keep an editor's pen at bay. Now I'm off to buy some boundary-pushing Doc Martens and baggy sweaters.

I really don't like her or her hair or stuff.

Peachurrrs, me dear, your like a unleaded pencil. Totally pointless.

Why does this talentless waste of organs still get published? She has not been completely honest about her education, she isn't at uni, she's in a 1 year course at a private college. Mozzer said it, why do I waste valuable time on people I would much rather kick in the eye

She's too ugly even for me, but I'd be doing the world a favour

Hasn't she got a cheek to call anybody else 'ridiculously named'?

Why on earth would you comission someone who freely admits to not following fashion to write a fashion column?

Where is our rating option of "zero"? "One" is much too generous for this half-witted try-hard. A magazine like Nylon is not aimed at pre-teens, yet surely only pre-teens could even remotely find this asinine drivel to be a good read. If Peaches Geldof was put on this planet to give us something to snigger about in our lighter moments then I suppose she has just about been good for something. Otherwise she is good for nothing and Nylon bosses might choose to terminate her contract immediately. Or do you think they take the view that "bad publicity is better than none"? In which case I better stop reading Nylon. Which would be a pity.

That tag-line of hers: hello I'm peaches, this is my new thing blah blah blah blah..... well, she could have stopped at the first blah because it all went downhill from then on.

Spearheading 'shoegazing' - I do believe you were quite literally about 1 year old the first time around. You are truly 19. Leave, please. Come back when you have actually been alive longer than a nanosecond.

LENA11: Indeed - I was looking for a zero heart rating too. My rating implies a maximum of 20% for effort. Too high I'm afraid.

"I don't follow fashion" - Hello? Why are you in a fashion mag then? You clearly are not a trend setter who everyone looks to for some edgy new style. This article is better than the last, but this one is rubbish.

Please just go away you useless person! You're hogging a job that should go to a REAL journalist, with (gasp!) a modicum of BRAINS. You have nothing of interest to say and are a total pseud.

NY. Keep her. Consider it a Christmas present from Lon.

Utter Utter Shite.

Absolutely awful piece, yet again.

GUILTY!! Guilty of screwing a real journalist out of a job! Peaches you silly little girl please do us all a favour and cease to exist! So we're not interested in your crap you go and hound NY with it?! Take a hint, why don't you go do something useful with your life, work for charity, you're clearly not interested in making a name for yourself and just want to hang off your father's name so try and help others! Plus, do you realise how utterly insignificant you are to Victoria Beckham? You don't like her style? So what, when you reach the success she has made for HERSELF, then you can comment...having famous parents doesn't make you anything other than pretentions and spoilt.

Peaches Geldof is literally the least pleasant and worthy person in the world. I'd like to see her pulled apart by wild horses.

im sorry im gonna take fashion advice from a 21 year old college drop out who married a guy after two weeks and has never held a 9 - 5 job because????? what a waste of space... go back to england you rotten peach

hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh **gnashes teeth* I don't even read this magazine, but her writing still pisses me off.

surely the editors/someone at nylon reads these comments/has an understanding of how awful these articles are. Employ someone who is actually half talented and has actually worked hard to become a journalist instead of handing the position to someone purely out of their heritage. fucking shite article btw. boring, contradictory, pointless.

Peaches, Peaches, Peaches. Stop it. Please, just stop. We've tried being nice, we tried calling you names. And yet, you still write. If you never write again, you shall have my everlasting gratitude. Farewell Peaches! Peaches, FAREWELL. (Oh, and you suck)

I don't know about NY, but LON hates this girl. I'm glad she provides the evidence in a clear, transparent format. (And yes, she defintely does suck)

If that article isn't rewritten to within an inch of its life, I'm the ridiculously named brat-child of an overrated ennobled mumble-worthy singer.

Oh Peaches you are such an idiot. You don't follow fashion, yet you have been photographed in the front rows of several fashion shows in the last few months. You are a hypocrite and a fashion victim and a poor writer to boot. Taking fashion and music advice from you? Now that is laughable. I'm still not buying Nylon until this waste of space is removed. Go and work on saving your marriage instead of boring us with this drivel.

This is very sad. More awful, unworthy stuff. It isn't doing her or the magazine any favours so why persist?

My mother said if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.....

I love you Peaches you're like the love child of Nathan Barley and Verruca Salt. Keep up the good work ma dear.

Please keep publishing Peaches. It gives me kudos to re-post on other websites where we can mock her. The interwebs is great.

Peaches ... is a real plum !!

Dear lord, is this what passes for a magazine article these days? Just stick to sapping the trust fund and leave us alone there's a good girl.

Peaches, you make me so happy.

Ha! At last my writing has been published. O.k. so it was actually co-written by myself and the chocolate ice-cream skid mark in Peaches crusty knickers. It was still better than anything that moon-faced bint could muster up.......

This is a great article, I really enjoy reading about your predictions for the music industry. Keep up the good work Peaches.

Peaches! hope it's fucking you! Spoke briefly at oldham, outside. you being mobbed! People in between us, but still made a connection. Try and remember, know you were a bit fucked that night. But we did fucking connect. I said something about please talk in fuckin english not poetry, coz i suffer as well and i know we could help each other! Bit later, through the crowd again, you asked me my name! it was P.S.Burton Do know you want to talk, and think i can help you! You are so like me apart from the Nylon column shit! Just ask Bob, told him. met him at the station after the oldham night. please fucking e-mail me! pretty fucking sure i can help you. think i know a few others who could as well! Look at the nylon website. there s a letter there for you. Got a lot of people who fucking care!

WHAT A cunt

pretentious, vapid drivel. why isn't there a lower rating than 1 heart?

Why no mention of the silvery peaches babe? Is it because we are utter fucking shite? Thought so. Join me for a pie sometime sweet cheeks.

Do you remember the time when I asked you how bob was? You didn't like that. You're well buff peaches, let's make love.

LIVER 100

How many Peaches Geldofs does it take to change a lightbulb? None. How can she do that with all those stolen clothes in her arms? Peace and love, peace and love. xxx

why do so many people on here have no interest in music? is it so you can tell your friends you are on a forum that is a bit edgy cos of someone who takes drugs? shame on you. Love - Forever Changes is one of the greatest records ever made surely? pisses on anything by the beatles.

Keep up the good work peaches

Is there any way to rate negative numbers? Seriously, I've seen better writing in school magazines!!! I wish I had famous parents to hide my lack of talent.

The Minions are inside. The forum shall not see Christmas.

My long review. I arrived at Kings Cross Thameslink about 7.15 and handed off to the Youth Hostel. Thinking Babyshambles would play for about an hour 15 minutes and thinking that they might not start on time, I decided to spend the night in London. Around 7.40pm I joined the queue. So much for the doors opening at 7.30! 3 or 4 people Shouting "Ticket's Buy or Sell. Any one need tickets for tonight. Does any one have any spare tickets". Someone near me sold her ticket to a ticket seller for £15. Whether he managed to sell it on or even what he was charging, I don't know. Does any one else know what price the ticket sellers were selling tickets at? Someone came down with some Adam Green leaflet. Someone else said Pete was doing a set at club NME. They thought he'd be on around 12am. The Paddington's were playing their any way. I was tempted to go but only if I reckoned Pete would show up! I got in and the people checking the bags, asked me if I had any water bottles on me. I opened my bag and showed by some food, and said I had fleece and few other things. I didn't say whether I had any water or not. They didn't bother checking my side pocket (where I kept the water which I never used during the gig in the end)! Nor below my fleece where I had my camera, a Dictaphone and some tapes. They didn't even undo my pocket below which had my pyjamas and some more tapes and another Dictaphone hidden inside them. So as usual I was lucky and got past the searching bouncers with no problems. First stop was to check the stage area. Next stop was some wine. Then take that back in and waited for it all to start. Later than advertised (due on at 7.55pm) we had The Cazal's. They were a 5 piece band. Lead singer, drummer, bass player, and two guitarists. They were good as well. Nothing that stood out as wow but good none of the less. Worth going to see live again sometime if playing near by. Whether I'd buy an album I don't know, I'd have to hear my recordings again. After that someone called Andrew came on stage. I wasn't keen on him at all. Didn't like the songs. Solo Acoustic and then solo electric. The Cazal's good have played for longer or even Adam Green and it would have been no loss at all. In fact give Andrew's slot to Babyshambles. So after some more stage changing we got Adam Green and his band. Drummer, bass player, guitarist (I think), keyboard player and Adam Green - who also played guitar. He was great. Some really good tunes. There was one which really stood out. I can't remember it right now as it was the first time I saw him. All the more reason to record the concerts! I would certainly buy his album at some point and go and see him again in the future (when I'm not so tired)! Even the songs that didn't stand out were good. So another wait and at 10pm on came Babyshambles. As the night went on I kept moving towards the back as I didn't really want to join in the moshing. I don't mind a bit of headbanging now and again but moshing isn't really my scene. The sound had been good up until now but sadly it went down hill. The bass was far to loud and the guitar couldn't be heard enough. It picked up in Wolfman but sadly that was the last song. Do any of Babyshambles (bar Pete) write songs? What else did they do before joing up with Pete? Do they currently smoke heroin, or have they don't so in the past? They are a good backing band. Yes Babyshambles may be a band but really it's just Pete and some good backing musicans. Any good session musicans could play and if Pete was there it would still be Babyshambles in my opinon.. I think the following is the correct set but as I've not replayed all my tapes yet, don't quote me on it. It's certainly closer than the one the NME posted. When magazines like Classic Rock print setlists they get it right (well certainly for all the gigs I've been to) but obviously NME don't take so much care and attention to detail. They could have put this is what I think they played but not in the right order (like most people on messages boards put). But no they chose not to. 1. The Man Who Came To Stay This didn't do much for me. 2. Do You Know Me Great song this. I like singing along to it, expect I don't know much of it yet. So bit pointless trying to sing it but fun none the less. Good bouncy feel to it. 3. In Love With a Feeling I just love this song. Works best as a full band rendition in my opinion with the bass. Having said the bass was to loud, I still liked it in this song. I tried to sing the lyrics in this one but I didn't know them all. In fact I tried that with a few such as Killamangiro. 4. Babyshambles At one point during the song Pete got onto a stack at the side and jumped into the crowd. I didn't see him after that until he was back on stage. The crowd were really going for it now. I Crowd surfing. Later on I saw one person at the back run slightly and jump into the crowd. He was lost for a moment and suddenly reappeared over peoples heads! There was another person near me to tried to get up but he either didn't have the nerve to jump or the other person could lift him high enough! 5. Gang of Gin I read on Planet Sound (ch4 teletext p351) a spokesman saying that the song Gang of Gin was written before Pete went back to his parents. Well it sounded like they were saying he's wished he'd never written it. Well if that's the case why is he still performing it? I made sure I listened to the words and I certainly heard Pete say Alan McGee. Whether the lyrics are any good or not the music itself certainly is. 6. Fuck Forever This song as an Oasis type epic crowd sing along feel to it. I like it but Pete does have better songs such as Killamangiro and In Love With a Feeling my opinion. However they are not such crowd sing along type songs. I think we then sang Happy Birthday with Pete joining in for part of it. 7. I Wanna Break Your Heart At this point Dot joined Pet on stage, with Pete taking up the acoustic guitar. I'm not so keen on this song myself. Dot's voice is fine just not keen on the song. 8. Flophouse The band left the stage and things quietened down in the audience. I quite like this song but not one of my old time favs. 9. Sheepskin Tearaway I think this was the next song. I wasn't sure of the title but NME list it so I assume this is the one played. It was okay. 10. Don't Look Back Into The sun This started straight after the last one and everyone joined in. Pete did two verses with the second ending slow. 11. Time For Heroes. This was fine. Odd to hear such a heavy and famous Libs song done acoustically. You wouldn't think Pete would change it so much I.E. make it non electric. As this ended Dot walked off and Pete started doing What Katie did on his acoustic. The crowd did the shoop singing whilst Pete stopped, the band walked on and the song started. 12. What Katie Did One of the nights highlights. Lots of crowd singing to be had and much fun. 13. Killamangiro One of my all time favourite Babyshambles tracks - Killamangiro. I just love this song and tonight it was fantastic. I love the part where towards the end of guitar solo (after Pete finished talking) the backing tempo changes and Pete starts singing again. "and when the night is..." It's such a great bridge between the two parts and good change of tempo. I also like the fact the guitar solo continues whilst Pete starts singing. So I was happy, hearing this song. I was expecting to hear this song much sooner. 14. A'rebours I wasn't keen on this song really. Nothing special. It might grow on me but after Killamangiro it was a bit of a let down. Hearing it again (as I'm just playing it) it's not so bad. In fact it's okay but any song after Killamangrio going to find it difficult going for me. 15. Blackboy Lane Another song I quite like. Good funky feel to the guitar. The tune isn't anything wonderful but I like the rhythm of it. Pete sung the opening words to My Darling Clementine. However the traditional song that you might know and not hi song. 16. Wolfman This was the best song of the night. So powerful. The guitar could be heard really well and the bass didn't seem so loud. The crowd went mental during the choruses and I don't blame them. I read that Pete jumped into the crowd more than once and I thought may be he did it during this song, but being at the back I wasn't certain. The insturmetnal end, went on for a while and was heavy. Really enjoyable ending as well. Powerful end song this. After this the band walked off stage and they started packing up. Only played for 1 hour. Considering we'd pay £14+booking fee and may be even postage and packaging for those getting it sent via post, I would have expected a longer set. Oh well that's the unpradictablity that is Pete Doherty. I didn't go to see the support bands no matter how good they were. I went to see Pete and his band Babyshambles. So people grabbed guitar picks and drum sticks. I don't think the band had a set list. Certainly didn't see one. I did some stage on times printed in various places around the venue but I didn't remember to take any of these if they still existed at this point. I hung around in case Pete came out but nothing. So I head out around to the side to work out where the stage door would be. I then waited for Pete to come out, which he did. I got him to sign a 7" Can't Stand Me Now single and told him that I thought he was good. He was good, just that I felt the sound mix let him down that night. It was at this point they were discussing where to go next. Someone said they were off to club NME and that someone was driving there. So Pete would be playing then. I left to find my own way there. I'd heard that it was near Mornington Crescent Tube and I had an address. checked out the buses to make sure it was easy to get back. I then decided I wasn't to sure where the bus stop was and it would be quicker to get the tube there. I asked about which station but the lady at the counter didn't know. I said is there any where, where I can find out? Blank looks and a comment of No. I asked about maps and she didn't have any. So I said they only have them at the local stations then and she agreed. She said it was likely to be Camden town when I mentioned is Canden High Street in Camden Town but she didn't know. I wouldn't expect her to know but I did expect her to have some way for looking it up. What with all this high-tech internet age which he live in. I thought the London Underground had telephone help lines with this kind of information. Obviously it's only on their website which has this information. No good to me when it's getting closer to 12am and a possible Pete Doherty set. Besides I don't have internet access in the street and wap access doesn't contain that type of information as far as I know. So I went and bought a London Street atlas. I have several of these already so I got a different make. As I draw maps for a living and collect them as well, no real hardship. It was Mornington Crescent so I got on the tube and got to Camden Town to find that the next tube wasn't even stopping at Mornington Crescent so I just got out and walked back. The first 250 with Babyshambles tickets got into Club NME for free. However by now it was past midnight and the first 250 were already in. The doorman said it cost £5. It actually cost £6. Shows how much they know and they work there! Still they don't search you so no problems with Dictaphones etc. It would be worth it, just to see Pete do another set. I've paid enough to stay in the Youth Hostel so why not make a night of it. So i paid by £6. So I went inside and the Paddington's were on. They played their new single at some point and were still playing close to 12.30am I think. They were not bad. Not as good as Adam Green in my opinion but worth seeing none the less. If I remember I'll listen to their Radio 1 session next week. After the Paddington's a screen came down running some NME awards film, whilst so called indie music was played. Some of it seemed more hip hop and bass type stuff to me than Indie but then surely Indie music is anything done by Independent small labels so bands like The Libertines are not Indie and nor are Babyshambles if they are signed to Rough Trade. The stage equipment was slowly taken apart (expect the drums) and set up as if one person was going to play solo. Two monitors were left. So I stood there, watching all the people going to and from backstage. I think I saw someone with a small Babyshambles logo on their t-shirt go back stage at one point. I waited. Hoped that every time someone, who to the mixing desk, would fade down the music and out walk Pete. Around 1.30am someone removed the stage monitors and the mic. So I went and spoke to some security person and asked if their were any more acts. He said no the second act cancelled. I guessed the second act would have been Pete. I didn't ask if Pete was playing as it only ever said Special Guest and they could say he was never due to play any way. It was pop luck and sadly my it wasn't my lucky night. I went knowing there was a chance Pete wouldn't play but I hoped none the less. Especially since he'd been going after show sets in other places recently. So all in all not a bad night, just ruined by the sound mixing during the Babyshambles set, which itself was far to short. 19 songs but to short in time. No encore either. May be it would have been better if I had been on the balcony where I had would have had a better view of Babyshambles. How well did Pete look? What he out of it? It didn't seem like it to me. There again I went to a Hawkwind concert where the then lead singer made a statement about drugs at the end of the set. We are ante heroin etc. etc. I read 3 years later that he had recently come off heroin. Whilst I knew they all smoked softer drugs I didn't suspect he smoked heroin. On top of that he didn't even look like he was on any more of drugs. I was near the front and I wouldn't have noticed a thing. I almost thought about not going to see Babyshambles as the money might fund Pete's drug habit, if he's still doing it. But then I thought, well if I didn't know he was on drugs, I wouldn't have suspected a thing at the gig and been more than happy to go. So I thought I'll go and hope he spends on it on something else. Of course there's no denying that drugs influence the way songs are written and that great songs can be written on drugs. Not into taking drugs myself but I can see how they can influence songs. I'm not saying great songs can't be written without drugs but drugs certainly do change the way songs sound and people write. Would Pete's songs be as good, if he didn't do drugs? Guess we'll never know unless he becomes tee-total. So I headed back to the Youth Hostel and that was it. Oh once I found the right bus stop. Being one way system in Camden it's not so logical. It was up a side street! Still I arrived, saw that I had to wait 10 minutes for a bus, according to the so called timetable, and then a bus arrived straight away. Short trip to Kings Cross and time to get some sleep. After all I had to be back by lunch time the next day to celebrate my birthday. I would be interested in hearing if the set stayed the same the next night. I would have liked to have heard I love you but your green. I didn't even notice that Albion wasn't played but again I really like that one and had wanted to hear it live. Timothy Langner

Requesting FAIL cat from previous Peaches column. Maybe the editors could get her down to a single word per topic, and save us all from this terrible embarrassment. Or maybe we could lock this vacant little shit away for good and be done with it. Go home, Peaches - you're killing your daddy with this banal crap.

Do you reckon she'll realise soon that the vast majority of people don't actually like her? Shouldn't have been so quick to go seeking the limelight, rather leave that to people with actual talent like her father. Then only the few people that actually know her would despise her rather than the entire nation.

Shitttttt me, she's even dumber than I thought. Too bad, she might've been all right if she made it without hanging onto daddy's tailcoat (¬___¬)y

Vivienne Westwood once told me to shut the fuck up

Peeeeatches,Lets hook up sometime and steal some jackets yeah ?

Hi Peaches, mum here, Please stop writing such a pointless load of shit and find something useful to do with your life. Cheers.

i donot read this magazine and i have no idea what it is about bt all i know is that by judging all of these ratings, it seems that peaches geldof is not a good columnist so i think you should get new one or the ratings of the magazine will go down and so will the amount of this magazine that is sold!.

Book 60 1 Peter 60:001:001 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 60:001:002 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 60:001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 60:001:004 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 60:001:005 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 60:001:006 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 60:001:007 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 60:001:008 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 60:001:009 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 60:001:010 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 60:001:011 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 60:001:012 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 60:001:013 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 60:001:014 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 60:001:015 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 60:001:016 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 60:001:017 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 60:001:018 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 60:001:019 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 60:001:020 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 60:001:021 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 60:001:022 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 60:001:023 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 60:001:024 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 60:001:025 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. 60:002:001 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings, 60:002:002 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 60:002:003 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 60:002:004 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 60:002:005 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 60:002:006 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 60:002:007 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 60:002:008 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 60:002:009 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; 60:002:010 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 60:002:011 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 60:002:012 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 60:002:013 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 60:002:014 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 60:002:015 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 60:002:016 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. 60:002:017 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. 60:002:018 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 60:002:019 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 60:002:020 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 60:002:021 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 60:002:022 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 60:002:023 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 60:002:024 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 60:002:025 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. 60:003:001 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 60:003:002 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 60:003:003 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 60:003:004 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 60:003:005 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 60:003:006 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 60:003:007 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 60:003:008 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 60:003:009 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 60:003:010 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 60:003:011 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 60:003:012 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 60:003:013 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 60:003:014 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 60:003:015 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 60:003:016 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 60:003:017 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. 60:003:018 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 60:003:019 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 60:003:020 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 60:003:021 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 60:003:022 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. 60:004:001 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 60:004:002 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 60:004:003 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: 60:004:004 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: 60:004:005 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. 60:004:006 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. 60:004:007 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 60:004:008 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. 60:004:009 Use hospitality one to another without grudging. 60:004:010 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 60:004:011 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 60:004:012 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 60:004:013 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 60:004:014 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 60:004:015 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 60:004:016 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 60:004:017 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 60:004:018 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 60:004:019 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. 60:005:001 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 60:005:002 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 60:005:003 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 60:005:004 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 60:005:005 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 60:005:006 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 60:005:007 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 60:005:008 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 60:005:009 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 60:005:010 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 60:005:011 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 60:005:012 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. 60:005:013 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. 60:005:014 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

So Peaches, you don't follow fashion? No, you just dress in the preferred style of whichever man you happen to be going out with/married to at the time. Victoria has more style in her little finger than you could even hope for. Still, you're only a kid so no doubt you'll look back on this and cringe yourself in a couple of years.

To be fair, Peaches will probably never be reknowned for her writing skills. However, I do admire her for having a crack at writing a column in a magazine that is very well known. Obviously not everyone likes her style of writing, as the reams of constructive criticism demonstrate.. I think she's quirky, and I think it would be a great shame if she was replaced by someone who regurgitates the OED. We have enough of those types already.

shes clearly a fool but needs somethig to do so just leave her be!!

Why does Peaches look like she has concealed a load of food in he mouth?

Don't knock the girl she's getting paid to write this stuff. I would love to be paid to write complete and utter crap! Beats my boring job any day of the week.

In saying you dont follow fashion are you trying to suggest you have style?! You're so crazy/mad/wacky dying you're hair blue.. I am being sarcastic. Grow up & lay low.

Yay! Peaches' Nylon column is the new us.

What a moron, im glad she has left the UK at least.This attention seeking idiot is famous for being the daughter of a guy who was in the boomtown rats..so what this little druggie attention seeking dumbo know about fashion or music?? she knows how so get herself into the papers and how to buy drugs and pretend shes not on them. I hate her face mostly. she looks special.

Yawn, this is possibly the dullest, inane, coma inducing culture column i've ever read. And as for the album name dropping, I don't believe she's ever heard either of these albums. BLAH BLAH BLAH is very apt.

Vivienne Westwood once told me "Who the fuck is Peaches? Tell her to fuck right off." Sage advice.

"as vivienne westwood once said to me...." haha classic!!! whats she famous for exactly?? nicking stuff...wearing shite and having had more pricks than a second hand dartboard!!!

Nylon is obviously trying to be a credible magazine - so why the hell does it have Peaches Geldof 'writing' for them? Its beyond hilarious and I can't understand how Peaches doesnt see how embarrassing she is. Her dad is a egotistical twat and she is a total joke - and any magazine that 'employs' her is too. Do us a favour Plumface, and fuck off.

This article is full of patronising bullshit, name dropping and attempts to be 'indie' - it's almost painful to read.

I, for one, hopes that Peaches sticks around a bit longer -- these comments are the best laughs I've had in weeks. Thanks, everybody! "Milk bottle". Gold, Jerry, GOLD!

This is an offical investigation into the content of this email

Jesus wept that was poor.

Don't worry Peaches I know what it's like to have people be jealous of you for being well educated in the art of Indie. I suggest you ignore all the haters and carry on regardless. Lee Wykes too the same advice and look at him now. Sure he gets the occasional "You’re a paedophile claim" but that peado still looks awfully tasty when he's ploughing away above you, I should know.

The fookin' johnny split i swear man! I never planned for this!!

I KNOW PETE A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The five stars are for Nylon, not Peaches. YOU guys deserve them for ridding the UK of this disasterous waste of space. Keep her....PLEASE!!!!

For fucksake, she gets it spoon-fed to her and STILL she fucks it up! All she had to do was listen to the pile of CDs that the Nylon team left on her desk and write three lines about each, then give a list of clothes she'd seen people wearing in the magazines next to the CDs, and yet still her vapidity shines through. What will Nylon do next, give her some crayons and ask her to draw a picture of "things I like"? JUST SACK HER, GUYS!

You were an idiot in england and obviously that didn't change during the flight to the US. You are an oxygen thief.

No one talks about the reverb on psychocandy, they talk about the distortion.

Hi Peaches - Thanks for mentioning Glass Candy and Effi Briest! I have heard some of their stuff and have been trying to spread the word so more people can enjoy their music as well. Especially, Glass Candy - they remind me of Ladytron.

What's all the fuss about? Easy haters, she's still young and it's evident in her writing. Love HTRK though..

As a Londoner I think it needs to be made clear what an absolute joke Peaches Geldof is. As someone who has unfortunately witnessed her painful DJ Act Trash Pussies I feel it is essential for us Brits to commiserate you poor folks in the US for having gained one of the most vacuous, pretentious, clueless pieces of cultural waste we have to offer. The article was appalling; it was full to the brim with buzzwords, name drops and nonsensical genres. It hurts me to see The Jesus and Mary Chain's good name clumsily dropped amidst the ill-conceived prose. Stay away from our cobbled Streets you knobjockey

I LOVED AmberDextrose comment. the dailymail mentioned you : ) I THINK NYLON ENJOYS THE PUBLICITY HER COLUMN GENERATES. BAD OR GOOD. SO IT MAY BE BEST TO SIMPLY NOT SAY ANYTHING.

i hate you and everything you hold dear

shes alreyt, tis peaches!

That's all they need to keep her writing :P

Peaches, I'm so glad that America has let you stay over there, one less talentless 'celebrity' wastrel in the UK to worry about. Keep up the inane word-jumble you're hawking out to NYLON. They couldn't get this kind of publicity even if they nailed a dead baby to the front of each cover. (there's an idea Ed. when her star fades...) Oh, and remember the UK still has Kerry Katona! Maybe you could invite her over to your gaff so you can together educate the NY fashionistas with such searing insights into fashion, music and life that will blow their minds. Glad you're not hear, keep up the (jeez, almost said good work there!) I mean pretence that people actually give a damn about you or your badly written opinions.

The only interesting thing about this column Peaches is the comments column. I'm finding it positively moorish.

O god this girl is so oblivious to her own hypocrisy: "...I don't follow fashion." "...here are some trend i'm looking forward to in the coming year" OMG she is such a FAKER. She gives the impression of trying too hard to be "alternative". "I dyed the tips of my hair blue for God's sake." <--- WOW AMAZING-- i bet u totally came up with that urself... sure.

As soon as I get the fuckwit Bush out of the White House, I'm having this whiny little bitch deported back to Britain. She makes Sarah Palin look like Einstein. That is all...

I miss you

Ratty -- personally, I've no 'vendetta' against Peaches. I just think she's a talentless dumbass and a waste of space, and am perfectly willing to mock her accordingly. Thanks for playing, though.

I miss you too. But not as much as Heavenly Hirani Tiger Lily...

Hey girl...Listen, might have a job coming up for you in a few years... so you get your lil'ole self some good'ole US citizenship and we'll talk...okay sweetie!! much love Saz Palin xoxoxxoxo PS ignore Barack, he never did get into Paula's pants.

But you made me do it!

Michael, Michael... is that really you?? I can still smell your leathery rock and roll essence in my dead hair

Actually, if I was ten years younger (and still alive) I probably would... You're way hotter than Paula...

Sarah, I wouldn't touch her with Michael Hutchence's... You're just jealous because I didn't fancy your saggy ol' ass. Hilary's far sexier than you - you wanna see her in her Stars and Stripes panties... Oh yes...

If you could raise your arms up properly John, would you not give me a big hug? Anyway, Peaches is such a name - if I have another child I'll call it Peaches. Will be a nice addition to the family along with Trigger and Blackpool Tower...

Jersey-Girl - I am. Love and kisses Mum

I'm making sweet love to your mum right now.

I don't feel well

Perhaps you could refrain from this bollocks and become my new mistress?

whooo... I am the ghost of the old doll from Golden Girls. Just passing-by...that is all... Oh! and buy the new GG boxset - out now - including outtakes of Bea's man-bits slipping out - effing hilarious! perfect gift for Christmas. Peace-out, one-love

Elizabeth! You're mine!

I do not have man-bits! That is an outrageous lie... Peaches, you are a nice young lady - but nowhere near as hot as Rue McClanahan...

My Blake?

Glass Candy were cool about 2 years ago when I first heard of them. They are old news now. You want to be into 'the Script', love - I hear they're the new 'tipped for 2009' hot act to follow

Not often moved enough to post comments after articles but, dear God, this is really awful stuff, isn't it? *shudder* What a tosser! She doesn't actually think she's a journalist, does she?

I feel so sorry for the ladies who have to work their arses off in college and university to earn the highly coveted journo positions. Only to have someone hand it to Peaches on a plate. The girl doesn't know what she's talking about and merely spouts rubbish. Why doesn't Nylon give this precious column space to someone intelligent, witty, funny and captivating, instead of someone who was born into the world of celebrity who clearly hasn't a clue?

Ms. Bubble Tea, you read my mind.

so, you've done the 90 day marriage Peaches, you're imbibbing in things that may wel be your ultimate demise, and you've moved to NYC. I'm guessing a stint in rehab to work through some issues and a tearful reunion with some ex are just around the corner. If you could just do them in the States, that'd be dandy - the scorn with which 99% of the UK detests you is pretty powerful stuff, both less popular than Dubwa and clearly less intelligent, yet somehow more annoying and crass than the dumbest, most flambouyant second generation fame addicts. I wish you no harm, but I do wish you anonymity, invisibility and normality. Oh, and NYLON should be ashamed of some of the placed comments above - if she is disliked, follow a simple rule of online publishing - if everyone says it is "not really too special", then it isn't. Listen to your audience not to some vacant, vapid and vile little princess such as Peaches. That is all

Well if no one likes her it means more for me. I want to freeze a poo and then put it inside her. Repeatedly. After eating razorlblades.

Why are you still employing this cuntbubble? It's as if Nathan Barley never happened. Now I'm certainly not wishing her any harm as that's just plain nasty but you've gotta wonder if there really is a God if 120 innocent bystanders can get mown down in India and yet Peachers still walks the Earth. And what's worse is that she's so deluded as to think that people actually care about her opinion on anything. Still, who's the fucking idiot? Me I guess for wasting 10 minutes of my life posting this...

How do you feel about me and my mate John Regis coming around for a second go. Has the brusing gone down yet? AWOOGA!

God...didn't you get the message last time? Utter drivel. Pretentious twat. Vomit blood. Go away.

Does not want!!!!

I had your mum.

You are grounded young lady! Woooooooo I am talking from beyond the grave. Don't believe what they said about it being a drugs overdose it was a sex game!

'I�m all for having serious conversations about the mournful symphonies on The Cure�s Disintegration, or discussing the use of reverb on the Jesus and Mary Chain�s Psychocandy, but right now I�m more into the amazing new music around. Here are just a few of the bands that are doing it for me at the moment.' this is without doubt the worst piece of tripe i have ever clapped eyes upon. PEACHES DARLING PLEASE DON'T NAMECHECK LIKE THIS TO GIVE YOURSELF CREDIBILITY. IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A TWAT. rant over. you really are a very, very average student.

not sure if anyone has mentioned the image at the head of her article... blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah HOW VERY APT!!

Please never breed.

Get in my cellar, bitch.

Stop being so harsh to Peaches everyone. She's obviously on the cutting edge of everything and one of the nation's greatest minds. What we can see here is just part of her cunning ploy to make us all think she's a brain dead mouth breather and she's playing the part so convincingly....

Cool band name dropping galore, competely pointless. successful ego-trip Peaches. But..why?

Someone needs to proof read this shit before it gets printed. Failing to do so renders the article somewehat insulting. Do Nylon think so little of their readers...? Seriously, I haven't encountered comma splicing such as this since i myself indulged in the hateful practice during GCSE english. Thankfully my teacher swiftly showed me the error of my ways. It is clumsy and reads badly. The overuse of adjectives is annoying too. Unfortunately, Peaches, the vast majority of readers have Office and are familiar with the synonym generator - it doesn't make your writing lucid, stylish or unique. Now, this article is o.k., atleast it's better than the last one, even if only on accounnt of it's beeing cut up into short sections. It is, in this way, more digestible than the droning, unbearable and cringe-worthy previous attempt. However, this article is also hard to read because she just doesn't have style. The writing is boring. I found myself skim reading almost immediately. This article epitomises the vapid, style-driven scene of which Peaches is the current (for now!) figurehead. No substance, no point, sad. Enough is enough.

"Vivienne Westwood once told me that people who aren’t creative or have no love for art don’t dress up, I asked her why people should and she replied simply, “Because it’s fun.” Sage advice. Here are some trends I’m looking forward to in the coming year." I'm an art student, and strangely, neither myself nor my friends pay much attention to what we wear (as in, actually don't, it's not a style statement in any way), and yet, against all odds, we care deeply and live for our art, i am glad i will never be seen as "cool" i'd rather be respected, i'd rather never belong to this movement

Only good thing to come out of her mouth is a nice big cock. Then she's ready for the next man. Shitfist, etc.

people are harsh. i dont really like her. but what is the point hating. wasted energy on energy that you could be using for something constructive. i also would say about myself that i dont follow fashion. i think its a loose term meaning that, yes i am aware of outside trends but, that said, i pick and choose and still go with what i always love. ive always loved hippie fashion. yes, it is in at the moment but ive always liked it. i just dont think, from such a short piece she has written that anyone could get a real sense from it and hate on her because they think she is being hypocritical or something. its like looking for reasons to hate her. use your energy for love. hate is not the opposite of love. its still caring. so really if you dont care about this girl, then dont read.

She's so pretentious. The way she says that dying the tips of her hair blue makes her not a follower of fashion. She's so contrived!

I'm putting on a concert in Hyde Park to get this bint locked up. Give us yer fuckin money.

WELL THERE GOES MY NYLON SUBSCRIPTION! I AM NEVER BUYING ANOTHER NYLON!!!!!

You know its bad when a Josef Fritzl comment is less offensive than the actual article....

Peachy, have you been taking those nasty things that mommy took, again?

I can't believe I shagged this ho. She was the worst fuck ive ever had. Including alexa chung. And she was crap.

I wish my browser came with a virtual barfbag.

"I’m all for having serious conversations about the mournful symphonies on The Cure’s Disintegration, or discussing the use of reverb on the Jesus and Mary Chain’s Psychocandy..." This is actually hilarious. Please stop pandering to these IT Girl idiots NYLON - it's pathetic.

She looks like she is saving her lunch for later by cpmcealong it in her cheeks ...

I'm not a "hater" (as some in this thread seem to be calling other people who are trying to voice their own opinion) but she can't say "I dont follow fashion." Fashion is not an object, more the essence of a person. Wow that was deep.

no she certainly is not a fashion follower more like a fashion picker upper - DM's how done are they?

I used to LOVE Nylon - but can not believe they have fallen for this - seriously Nylon - did you not receive the memo from London - Peaches is a looser.

"Most people who know me know I don’t follow fashion." ... she says in her fashion column in a fashion magazine where she picks out some fashion trends she's enjoyed and looks forward to fashion trends of the coming year. Also, what the hell is Vivienne Westwood doing saying that people who don't dress up in OMG KOOKY SUPERCOOL outfits have no love for art?! I'm sorry Mr. Hirst we're going to have to take those prizes back as your plaid shirt ISN'T QUITE VINTAGE ENOUGH

i forgot got about amazing baby thank you

people are ignorant give credit to miss peach for her bravery she has to put up with complete morons who think they're holier than thou is punctuation the new black"?"

Lol @ your attempt to justify your poor taste in fashion with a Vivienne Westwood quote.

really? Your hair looks like you were in a chlorinated pool for too long. You're not 13 anymore, get the fuck over it. and you went into a Brooklyn thrift shop? really?!?!?! OMFG YOU ARE SOOOOOO INDIE AND SCENE AND OOMGGG!!!!!!1111oneone toooo baddd you succkkk.

Peaches, my love, all the styles you "predicted" are already being worn. You may say that you don't follow fashion, but when you look at it this way; most people who don't follow fashion, admire someone who also has not followed fashion, which makes you follow their fashion sense, whom they followed from a previous person, etc. So really, you are following some sort of fashion even though it may not be a mainstream sort. I still love that you attempt at being genuine and your wording may not be the best, but it's pretty much your dialogue. I look forward to reading your next topic...

This is bogus. "Yeah... I don't follow fashion because I dyed my hair a totally non-fashionable colour, TEEHEE!!!11!!" Ugh. Also, if she doesn't follow fashion as she so claims, why is she citing fashion trends even so far as saying "fortunately, this is still very fashionable" about hippie chic? Shouldn't she give alternatives in being innovative with clothing to prove she's a fashion leader, not a follower? Sorry Peaches, you're nothing but a sheep in my book.

And I totally agree with the image header on this page; all Peaches ever says "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH."

I DONT REALLY LIKE PEACHES..SHE'S KINDA ANNOYING

TOTALLLYLLYLYLYLLYLYY LOVEZZZ IT!!!!

TOTALLLYLLYLYLYLLYLYY LOVEZZZ IT!!!!

i actually enjoyed reading this. such aweful reviews, i dont agree with them though. now, i havent even read your article in the mag yet, but i think it will be something new, and i just watched almost famous last night (for the first time) and yeah penny lane is freaking awesome! also, HTRK isn't too bad

whilst it seems like i'm another broken record, i hope that someone does read this and think about it from nylon magazine. nylon has dissapointed me with these two articles. i don't particularly mind the fact that nylon chose peaches despite how obvious it is she hasn't done anything of substance to date. she hasn't had 'purpose' but neither did nicole ritchie, cory kennedy, and even her sister pixie.. yet they're nylon-worthy. a confident and poised sense of independence within fashion, music, film, culture. but peaches sounds so forced, not laid back, so tense and not what nylon should be appreciate for. i am let down by peaches articles - not her as a person, human, 'daughter' - her as an embassador of london and britain because she isn't do anyone, especially herself, justice and these articles and the thousands of comments are simply indignifying for everyone. please please take the hint and let her to rest.

PEACHES SHOULD BE CANNED. hahahaha.

dearest nylon, nooone likes or is like peaches here - so please stop believing she is reprosenting us. we are not her. THANK GOD AND JESUS. love none-the-less, britain.

the music part was allright and spot on.. but the fashion part? ... All these trends are current, who ISNT wearing baggy sweaters and patterns and muted tones? Its been going on for more than a year.. kind of a pointless list.

oh fuck no she's back!

why is she sniffing brooke shields

why is she sniffing brooke shields

Credit where credit's due: at the moment, it looks as if Nylon have stopped deleting comments - this is number 251. Good on you guys for allowing critical statements about the talentless mouth-breather. Now when are you going to pull her column and invite one or two of the infinitely-more-talented commenters to write for you instead?

But...but...could she not see the contradicition...the..."Most people who know me know I don’t follow fashion." then a few lines later "Here are some trends I’m looking forward to in the coming year." Vivienne Westwood, nice one Peaches, met her at Hay fest she's a complete moron everyone thought so..shame!

Jesus, even Pamela Anderson can write a better column than Peaches fucking Geldof. Goodbye Nylon, hello Jane!

WARNING TO STUPID YANKS: Peaches is a shit-for-brains, whingeing, whiningly spoilt little brat who needs a good spanking. She is a joke in the UK - DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO HER AND SHE WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE.

Can I just say - five stars for giving me the opportunity to vent my spleen abotu this vile waste of space. Everytime I see her or her equally pretentious sister in the tabloids (pretty well every bloody day!) I want to scream blue murder! Now we can all scream on here - FUCK OFF GELDOF YOU TWAT! ahhhh relief.

Peaches denyed my friend request :(

Buzzin!! more peaches, this is awesome she is such a wealth of misinformation.

Is peaches dissing Nylon already? According to the Daily Star in the UK she edits Nylon, and is not a columnist. If you don't believe me: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/ posts/view/ 61213/Peaches-returns-to-light-up-town/

she doesnt write her articles. somebody else does. thats the sad part.

Quite clearly not the work of Ms Geldof. But money well spent for the increased exposure her name buys Nylon... loved or hated, she gets attention. An extra star for Glass Candy: 'What do we say when we want to get in touch with our ever-lasting souls? HIT IT, DJ!' Supreme beats.

This article is all that is wrong with novice writers. If all the worthless descriptive fluff were eliminated, it would be two sentences long. It would be more tolerable to read if she could effectively and concisely convey her opinion without stuffing it with pretentious undertones, and referring to a thesaurus every other word to find one twice as long. The music reviews were acceptable minus the metaphors and hyphenated adjectives, but her fashion advice/predictions effing blow. For some reason this article reminded me of a college entrance essay. Anyways, NYLON, I can see the potential you saw in Peaches. However I am more interested in the opinions of woman who can write in a more relatable fashion to your audience. Maybe suckling off the teat of her father has distanced her from the reality that most 19 year old women live. Blue tipped hair appears to repel employers when you're trying to get a job fresh out of college. But that's just my humble opinion.

I just don't see why this article is getting so many negative comments?! what is wrong with it??? there isn't enough content to critise it, let alone hate it... i like listening to different opinions and the whole point she's writing it is BECAUSE she has more unusual ideas

you're all just jealous that she's english!

Erm, I'M English - born and bred. If I were any more English, I'd be the Queen.

i live in england lol, and i was wondering if anyone else on here does and if they know whether Nylon mag is available in the uk?? xxx

horrible cunt. go fuck yourself peaches you talented arsewit. everyone hates you.

horrible cunt. go fuck yourself peaches you talented arsewit. everyone hates you.

Don't cry for me Argentina,and I will do the same thinking about the modesty being represented by one of my favourites.

I won't belabor the point that we are all trying to make here....she is really trying hard to be...something ahead of the curb...meanwhile Peaches, while you are failing miserably, England called, they want their Silver Spoon raised socialite. Go back for the love of God

God no, don't send her back here, we've only just managed to offload her somewhere else.

Duck the bitch under some lake. She is just as irritating as her father-- why is he famous? Sure he organized a couple of concerts and was in a (shit) band with one hit record-- but so was Simon Webb, and he was on Im A Celebrity this year. And he has more than one album. Oooft.

i don't see what's so wrong with her. in fact, i think she's quite charming. she's good looking, creative and an okay writer. i mean, it wasn't a mindblowing column, but it was okay. and no, she is not going to be the next cory. which is great, because i find cory pretty annoying.

peaches is a very talented writer and seems to have alot of creativity! i'm looking forward for new artices in the future! :)

I just read this and punched my cat in the face. Thanks Peaches.

PEACHES su*k. she's a total bullshit, talks crap, just a wannabe.

"Vivienne Westwood once told me that people who aren’t creative or have no love for art don’t dress up." I think that's a shocking view. To insinuate that people who aren't into fashion don't like art/culture ... there are other ways to express yourself than through the way you dress. And, contrary to what VW says, I know a hell of a lot of people who dress up but have no interest whatsoever in art/culture/creativity. I would rather listen to someone who is non-superficially creative than creative when it comes to their fashionable image. Neither of which, let's be honest, would be Peaches.

I used to be really anti peaches and other celebrity offspring. But then, one night, I had a really vivid semi-wet dream about her and have since been captivated by everything she does.

Ha! you know whats funny everything in her fashion list is IN fashion. Pshhh "I don't follow fashion". Whatever. Shes just a loser. Total wannabe. Really predictable. Seriously Nylon. NO ONE likes peaches in London, Only if your a big fat west london loser. Take a memo Nylon and cut her out.

I HAD TO ADD THIS POST 4 U GUYS!!!! Bumpkin's Brum — Roving Reg blogger hits the road * Track this topic * Print story He wears skintight jeans and he’s off to Birmingham!!! By Jim Bumpkin in Brum • Get more from this author Posted in Bootnotes, 31st October 2008 12:57 GMT Business Whitepaper - The enterprise PC lifecycle The sun glows a kind of burned cheese’n’onion Pringle yellow as it flops behind a rain-washed terrace, the wind sighs through a neighbour’s sickly privet hedge, a minicab driver irritably sounds his horn, unable to walk the five yards to his fare’s front door: Birmingham, the UK’s biggest city beginning with “B”, is my new home. And I love it here. Birmingham’s a strange place, a place full of Brummies, but a place which never fails to challenge one’s ears with its indecipherable English dialect. It’s like an limitless small ads section in the local paper, with each page more intriguing than the last: “For Sale: Small cardboard box. No Timewasters.” I settled on Birmingham because it was the only place I could afford the rent, and of course it’s an ideal base for my work at The Register. My days here are spent working on paradigm-busting podcasts, and listening to my boss Phillipe — with his hilarious tales of life in the Strategy Boutique — strumming his guitar to whalesong while he dreams up his next data centre whitepaper. It’s like I’m part of a movement, not a bowel movement or anything, but a real world-redefining upsurge which encapsulates everything that’s cool, strange, interesting, symbiotic and even evolutionary. Don’t get me wrong, I have always loved London. It’s a city where skintight jeans are accepted without question and are often obligatory, or perhaps mandatory, or perhaps both. I grew up there, perambulated its fog-shrouded alleys a million times, dived headlong into its backstreet clubs where shouty people with guitars paid homage to the city’s relentless drizzle and slate-grey skies. To me, it was an epicentre, a ground zero of vibrant ethnicity, an artistic melting pot at the eye of an alternative cultural maelstrom. Yes, it was difficult to leave — my train got held up for three hours at Watford (Kosovar Albanian immigrants had stolen the copper wire from the signalling system) — but it’s a decision I don’t think I’ll ever regret. I’ve travelled the Black Country in its cramped, malodorous public transport system, and seen parts of the UK not many people have seen unless they too have been there. The days thundered by in a haze of motorway service stations, fried breakfasts, and soot-blackened trees. Highlights included snaffling a hand-woven silk shirt for a quid from a Serbian gypsy woman with an emaciated child at each breast, who told me (the woman, not the kids) it was the last family heirloom she had to sell before prostituting herself on the streets of West Bromwich; being chased by a Wolverhampton dosser dressed in a Dolce & Gabbana plaid dress; and going vintage shopping in a Solihull thrift shop where a ten-year-old kid clad in an original 1970s Bay City Rollers outfit sold me the entire stock of slighty-worn fake Armani boxer shorts for fifty pounds. In Smethwick I hooked up with some locals in a wooden clog-chewing competition. My Young Person’s Railcard adventure led me once again to Birmingham, where I fell in love with the place all over again. My best friend here is a girl named Peaches. We spend our days traipsing around the Pound Shops — her in skintight jeans, wrapped snugly in her trust fund with a shock of blonde locks tingling at the merest sight of an expensive hairdressing salon. We buy deep-fried battered black pudding from Brummie-accented Darfur refugee street vendors, run breathless through the Bull Ring, marvelling at its energising force, and source Bolivian marching powder from Maltese pool-hall owners. Nights involve supping cheap lager at our local — The Aston Alcopop Arms — and throwing a few shapes to vintage INXS platters on its jukebox, or catching the latest hoodie rumble down at the battle-scarred shopping centre. Yes, Birmingham is a place where I finally feel at home. Driving round and round and round Spaghetti Junction at night in an unlicenced minicab (the novelty still hasn’t worn off!!!!) and gazing out over the grimy chimneypots — their peaks reaching ever heavenward, bare lightbulbs twinkling out of the endless windows of low-rent accommodation like electric fireflies sealed under glass, their dismal glow captured on the surface of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal and the skeletons of shopping trolleys consigned to a watery grave by glue-fuelled council estate yoof — there’s no place I’d rather be. ® Jim Bumpkin is a personal friend of Peaches Geldof and Max Gogarty.

And thats the bottom line, cos stone cold said so

And thats the bottom line, cos stone cold said so

Peaches you have a stupid name and you make me throw up

Peaches you have a stupid name and you make me throw up

I would just like to say very shortly, that all these people are completely wrong and out of there mind. What peaches said was in style, is HUGE in europe (fashion central).. have any of you even looked at Chanels fall/winter 08 ? How about Alexander Mcueen ? Or even D&G.. ? I dont think so, until you have i wouldnt be even commenting on whats fasionable or not. Grunge is back and booming. Look back at the 80's, look at madonna, everything shes wearing is popular now. so please, save the effort. and dont comment i you dont know what you're talking about, or have anything ethical to say.

THAT girl is Peaches?? I thought she was just another Ohio NYU Williamsburg wannabe. I'm sure she has no idea who James Chance OR The Junkman Band are. God luv 'ya Peaches and your ghostwriter.

i encourage every one i know not to buy nylon UNTIL PEACHES IS GONE. and so far.. IT'S WORKED.

glad i already got over my dying-parts-of -my-blonde-hair-blue-and-pink stage before peaches tainted it with her pretentiousness

This is so depressing... Everyone, and I really mean everyone (except for bimbo Daisy Lowe and rediculous twelve year old girls) in England hates Peaches Geldof. People joke about her lisp, her continuous use of the word 'alternative' and her utterly repulsive arrogance. She is a generic writer and has the knowledge of music that most enthusiasts do(just watch 120 Minutes on MTV2 and find out what good bands are out at the moment. It's not hard.) We are so glad she moved to America, you can totally have her!

"Most people who know me know I don’t follow fashion. I mean, I just dyed the tips of my hair blue for God’s sake." ....... Yeah.

Ugh and I forgot to mention that her column about NYC made the Costco cookbook in my bathroom look like Nabokov.

"Most people who know me know I don’t follow fashion.......Here are some trends I’m looking forward to in the coming year." EEEEERRRRMMMMM????? Shut the fuck up Peaches. I'd just like to know who you're blowing to get paid to write this drivel.

Hughie Green would be turning in his grave.

shut up

2009 SAYS: "Peaches, you've broken the world record for amount of mascara worn at any one time". Celeb-rations.

i think she has made a reasonable prediction for 09!but the part where she says she doesnt follow fashion is bullshit.but other than that she always wears awesome clothing!

I wish I was a real good journalist like her - then I would be cool, and not have to hang out with Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus

I admire Peaches' journalistic skills, and I'm glad that she's back. And, I agree with most of what she wrote in her Fashion article. I wish we had more journalists with her kind of attitude and take on things.

I admire Peaches' fellatio skills: there's no way she's landed a job with a formerly reputable magazine like Nylon unless she gives *really* good head.

this is the worst piece of shit i have ever seen in my life

this is the worst piece of shit i have ever seen in my life

you think its an article but, its just a sentence under each heading

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Does anyone know where her troll shirt is from? (The one in the picture that was above this article in the print edition of the magazine; she is lying down and has blue-tipped hair). If anyone sees this and happens to know, an email would be greatly appreciated! queenelizabeththethird@gmail.com

What's wrong with her hair? I like her hair.

Peaches is a skegend sket nonce

Haha I wouldn't get too angry, she has a particularly bad case of the Blanche Dubois self-delusion.

Hey peaches guess what I do believe you have a half sister who lives in america. her name is sue and her mother and your father met back in the late 70's and she looks just like your dad and it goes to show how much truth your dad keeps from You girls. including that you model for shite! you look just like your mother and it's no compliment. hey maybe your dad will care to know his american born daughter finally. since he really doesn't care about you much either. he never spent any real time with both you or pixie am I right? you bet I am.Tell your dad that his daughter is on multiply running a group for him these days. Check her out peachy. her groups called"Bob Geldof" and her name again is Sue Geldof. her mother met your father and had a thing than only to discover that your father was cheating like hell and ready to be engaged to that aweful mother of yours and she took bob's daughter and hide her from your father because she knew he would put the screws to her. YOU my dear girl have a half sister in amercia!more than myself knows this as well. so peach she atleast got a normal name not some fruit. by the way in those naked photos of you you look dreadful and to think you will be known as a porn artist. I guess that's as good as you can be. BYE!

Peaches reckons she has her finger on the pulse of whats cool, so obviously cool is dead.

WHOOP-TE-DOO! you have blue bits of crap in your hair! :/

Peaches Geldof is the biggest prat fool in the whole world. Us British people hate her!

damn right we do, utter twat she is. why don't she just fuck off to hyde park and buy expensive drugs?

wow, I've just typed in b*tch, c*nt, tramp, twat and idiot into my word finder box and I found all of those words :) well arn't you just popular ?

the people who say that this is actually good writing dont read very often. good writing isn't bringing in polysyllabic words into the completely wrong context. dellusional pretentious little shit.

peaches looks like her mother and that aint saying much. the other one pixie she looks like the mother too and that other one fifi looks like hmmm don't know but none of them even look a bit like bob. maybe they may not even be his I mean since paula ran around like such a slut and all. perhaps it's some family secret just to claim them to be his. isn't he doing that with michael's little girl tiger? I wonder... Bob most likely has many of kids in the world since he was this male slut who said he just got into music to get laid. but as for peaches get a life b*tch you sucks and so does that pixie who has no jaw at all. GO AWAY! I know bob has an american daughter as well and your right stipey but she's staying far away from that family. She's smart. and not from paula so that makes her nothing like these troll girls of paula. she looks just like bob as well. I don't know if that's bad or good but it's so. Peaches get married again and get a real life. we can't stand you.

For whoever said that peaches' style predictions were right: Grunge and 80s have been creeping back for over two years, it was hardly an amazing insight :/

You're all meanies. Me and bunny are off to tint our hair blue. So not cool.

Stipey I know this girl too. her name is Sue Geldof and yes she is Bob's american daughter. Peaches guess what! you have a half sister who is american. Your father and sue's Mother had a fling in the late seventies. Sue's mother wants her daughter to keep away. Sue looks so much like her dad bob it's amazing. She also sings and write's songs she has real talent not being a media ho like yourself. I have read the brits hate you. doesn't that tell you anything yet? why go on this way and make yourself out to be such an idiot. Is popularity all your seeking? Sad why not get a real job and grow up!

this is wank, go live in a hole

Anonym - I couldn't agree more. some people are extremely pathetic to be hating on some girl they haven't even met. I'm sure you wouldn't say this crap to her, would you?

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!! please, for the love of God, Peaches, if you read this, take some friendly advice and eff the fuck off! I have never read a bigger load of senseless, self-important drivel as what you no doubt probably think of as real 'journalism'. Grow up and f*ck off.

Mummy's very disappointed in you...

Thank God the divorce is finalised. And yes it was for a publicity stunt. Oops, shold I have not said that...? PS you were a cr*p shag

who the hell does peaches think she is saying there is enough "sophie,emily and chloe's in the world." Im sorry i would rather have a nice proper name than be named after a fruit. I also think it was so sad of peaches to go topless on the beach to draw attention away from her sister.no one wants to see you naked on the beach love you have no boobs and your sister is better looking hense why she was in the fashion show and not you. hahahaha

oh god, she makes me wanna gag,she comes off as being so insincere, i dont think her name and courtney loves should ever be in the same sentence. When will people wake up and realize shes a spoiled little rich girl? whats punk rock about that????? she sucks asssss!!!

What a loser! She's the biggest tryhard ever! A few years ago she was styled up like Britney and now she thinks an uber cool indie chick's where it's at. This girl needs to crawl back under the rock she came from. Vile.

Helen - I would def say it to her. Think most of London probably would. Thank God she fucked off to America!
