Here’s a photo of Courtney Stodden walking down Hollywood Boulevard as she goes shoe shopping with her dad, Alex Stodden, who is apparently in Los Angeles for the “premiere” (?!) of Courtney’s new music video, “Reality.” Sure! Just a father and daughter, being totally normal human beings. Maybe after they find some nice shoes he can take her out for ice cream!!!! Daddy’s little girl. (Gross.) You guys, how scary is having kids, though, right? I just mean, like, it’s such a huge commitment and life change and you are now first and foremost a parent until the day that you die, which is fine, because there isn’t really a huge alternative, but it’s still a lot to accept. And I’m not trying to be some kind of heteronormative monster with that “no alternative” comment or anything, lots of people don’t have children for lots of reasons, and if gay people have children they are faced with the same dilemmas. What I mean by “no alternative” is that the rearing of children is one of THE major experiences and potential “purposes” of being on this Earth, and if you don’t take part in it, you are missing out on a key element of “being human.” That’s up to you! But, either way you’re in for a bit of pain, I think. Either you have some kids and deal with all of that, or you don’t have kids and deal with all of that. Tough stuff however you want to cut it. But so imagine that you have a kid, right, and you give up so much of your own identity or at the very least free time, and you now dedicate your life, which has really only just begun in so many ways, to them and then after 18 years of this they grow up and are like, “Mom, dad, I have something I need to tell you. I think I’m Courtney Stodden.” It’s a tough morning, but you love them anyway. They’re your kid!

Daddy’s little wax museum doll.
What is the temperature in Los Angeles? It’s either warm enough to wear a bathing suit or cold enough to wear a fur. You can’t have it both ways Courtney.
But you see, she’s one shoulder slinging that fur. What does that tell us about the temperature?? Can we start using Courtney Stodden as a new CSI technique for figure out the exact weather and soil moisture and everything else at the time of murders? Just an idea.
Let’s all agree to limit the use of Courtney Stodden and “Soil Moisture” in the same breath. I’m glad it’s here this once, but let’s take it easy from here on out…
Temperature varies wildly in LA depending on time of day. If you’re going out on a 12-hour shopping spree, you gotta have layers to accomodate. Her outfit is pretty much how everyone dresses here all the time, NBD.
I think my feet just broke out in sympathy blisters.
One of the many things that perplexes me about Courtney Stodden is why she insists on wearing those lucite heels. I have never seen her not wear them, and you know that plastic bridge has to be so uncomfortable. You can still dress “sexy” without those terrible shoes! Come on!
Sure, but only lucite heels say “stripper.”
Totally. Hollywood Blvd *is* where all of the stripper shoe shops are, after all. I don’t think lucite platform heals were meant for pounding concrete, although the shoe designer Jeffery Cambell probably disagrees as all of his platforms seem to be made with lucite heels nowadays.
Can we possibly stop talking about Courtney, which makes me sad, and maybe go back to talking about Topher Grace? There hasn’t been enough Topher Grace in my life lately.
Have you ever seen Courtney and Topher in the same room together?
I was just watching Comedy Bang! Bang! on Netflix (which everyone should be doing right now) and SPOILER ALERT Topher Grace makes an appearance!
Life is not fair. How does a spray-tanned frosted flake get a body like that? Genetics should be punishing her with cellulite and stretch marks.
her body is beyonce tanned but her face is gaga white
because she has a brain like that.
So a girl can’t be smart and rock a body? But that’s my point! With a brain like that, she should have a Wal-Mart body.
Nevermind. I forgot she’s on that Japanese paper diet.
She is only 18 and also plastic surgery.
she has the body of a child? because she is a child? and the fact that you are somehow implying that her body reflects on the fairness of life makes me more sad than this entire post. some people have illustrius curves and beautiful chub…you don’t have to look like a skeleton to be sexy, but if you are skinny i am betting you are just as sexy. this should not be about either or, it should be about embracing all types of bodies.
I’m assuming “Christmas Time is Here” played softly in the background the entire evening.
with children’s choir or without?
oof. That was supposed to be a toss-away, but then I actually imagined Courtney and her dad walking through LA with the melancholy, slightly out-of-tune children innocently singing away, and welled up a little…
She is our generation’s Shauna Sand.
I REALLY LIKE YOUR AVATAR AND ALSO USERNAME TARYNWANDERER.
Yay! Thanks. It’s rare to find RuPaul’s Drag Race/The Chronicles of Prydain fans, but I feel like if they are anywhere, they are on videogum.
The only shopping bags that are more sketchy than black plastic are pink plastic. Why do I feel like they just left the Hustler store?
I just scrolled up to look at the bags and the picture isn’t showing up! This is the best internet glitch ever.
Because Hollywood Boulevard is a grimy tourist trap. I feel like her shopping there implies a lot — her shallow idea of celebrity and glamour, her yearning to be part of some kind of imagined Hollywood culture.
I swear to god she’s going to turn 40 one day and think, “Holy shit, what have I been doing this whole time?”
She turned 40 five years ago.
So the time I want to log in with facebook connect, I can’t. This seems like a metaphor for my life somehow
How big is the age difference between Courtney’s dad and Courtney’s Doug? Zero, right?
Doug is 2 years older than her dad.
They say women end up marrying guys like their dads, but I think she took that saying too literally.
That guy looks like a disguised alien from Men in Black.
Haha. He totally does.
Ugh, another Pussy Posse photo.
Gross! Apologize, please!
Gross, sorry! It’s not my fault if Gabe burned that story into my memory…it’s all I see now (gross, sorry).
Sensuously shopping for shoes with a delectable dad not at all disappointed in my development! #parenting
I didn’t really care at all about these lunatics until I noticed Mr. Stodden is treading upon Pee Wee Herman’s star with nary a notice. Who walks down the Walk of Fame and doesn’t go, “Hey! Pee Wee Herman!” followed by the Pee Wee laugh? What a jerk. I always pay Pee Wee a little tribute when I’m done shopping at Fredrick’s of Hollywood. It’s just what you do.
d’oh, pee wee darko, should’ve refreshed before submitting i guess.
S’all good. We each had our own take on “The Pee Wee Problem.”
When we see the star the father is walking on, we become aware of the literal stomping out of the celebration of youth as represented by one Pee Wee Herman, a contemporary Peter Pan for the late last millennium. As our two subjects with their painstakingly cultivated persona promote a celebration of the crucifix of sex and commerce in the city where dreams are created and crushed, all for profit as our boys and girls are encouraged to throw away their innocence to aspire to walk this boulevard of dashed hopes, a home to hollow shells once vessels of humanity now lying littered and broken, begging for a chance to return to that place where their dreams were on the screen in front of them instead of buried under the memories of being used as just another recreational device by these men for whom a red convertible and a hair treatment were not enough to satisfy their lust as their bodies begin to fail them with age.
Are you sure she didn’t go shopping with a Chinese family? I see a lot of Chins there!
Who wears “f*ck me” shoes shopping with their dad?
someone who also publicly re-enacts f*cking a “wait, is that her dad?”
Her dad’s face = ERMAHGERD PERPAREZZI!
A bit late to the party, but I don’t think your kids just happen to turn into Courtney Stodden all on their own… I think there is an awful lot of pushing and grooming and encouragement on the parts of the parents before something like this happens to a home-schooled 16 year old.
Or worse, unfortunately, looking at those gross photos of her dad hugging her at her ‘premiere’.
Courtney’s dad and Doug Hutchison probably have a lot in common.
I think they fought together in Korea.
My dad would not be caught dead in public with me if i dressed like that.
