In the March 26, 2007 edition of the “New Yorker,” there’s an article about punk rock pants salesman Jimmy Webb. One of his customers is described thusly: > [@](#): > > …a girl with light brown skin. Her hair was drawn back, her face was small and round, and her features were delicate and finely drawn. She resembles her mother, an actress. Her last name is the same as her father’s, a rock star. She looks like she’s in her early 20’s, but she goes to a progressive high school in New York’s Upper East Side. Also, she dresses in kind of a punk rock style (she wears tight jeans and a t-shirt that says “Bullshit”). So who might she be? I don’t know much about celebrities, so I was hoping that someone might have an idea. ---

Did the article actually say she’s a celebrity, or just the daughter of two other celebrities? ---

I’ll guess Coco Sumner. > [@](#): > > In 1982, shortly after the birth of his second child, Sting separated from Tomelty and began living with actress (and later film producer) Trudie Styler. The couple eventually married in 1992. Sting and Styler have four children: Bridget Michael (a.k.a. “Mickey,” born 1984), Jake (born 1985), Eliot Pauline (nicknamed “Coco”, born 1990), and Giacomo Luke (born 1995). > **[Sting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting)** > > Sting may refer to: \_\_EXPECTSHORTPAGE\_\_ ---

Or perhaps Georgia Jagger (daughter of Mick & Jerry Hall). ---

Does Zoe Kravitz live in New York or LA? (daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet) She’d be about 19 now, and I remember some ah, behavior issues in the news that could explain why she she might still at a “progressive” high school, if that means “dropped out of regular school.” The physical description fits her well. ---

[/QUOTE] I think this is the winner. The description implies biracial, Kravitz is a rocker, and Lisa Bonet is a (to borrow a line from SNL) “stay at home actress”, and I remember the same articles about behavior and her mother’s refusal to vaccinate and other oddities that would affect where she goes to school. [Her pic](http://www.style.com/slideshows/parties/031206MARZ/39m.jpg) also looks more like Lisa B than Lenny K. ---

Could be. High School at 19 would be progressive indeed. There are a couple pictures of Coco Sumner in blonde and brunette configurations in this thread (she has a band) but she looks more like Sting than Trudy Styler. While They have a place over on the west side I don’t know if their kids go to school here.

You guys are the best. I’m thinking Zoe Kravitz is the one. Thanks a million.
