dakota

speaking of icons, i must say i am completely taken with dakota fanning. she and her sister, elle, are such natural actors it's a joy to watch them on screen.

i will be the first to admit that i HATED dakota when she was young because she was just in every single movie ever and making more money than julia roberts (who i also hate). but it just seems that youth is taking over the world (tavi? a style icon and taste maker at 13. willow smith? her first hit single at 9) so i've resigned myself to find the joy in young people expressing themselves, rather than be bitter at my own lack of success comparatively.

that being said, dakota is a star, a remarkable dresser, and an undeniable talent. i really look forward to seeing where her career goes in the future. not to mention the girl is damn photogenic!
