Peaches Geldof. Type of mixed drink? Nope, its London’s “It” girl and the latest socialite to grace New York University with her super trendy, but oh so hipster and off the beaten path, presence. Spawned by Irish rocker turned political activist, Bob Geldof, and former showgirl/ actress/ erotic novelist, Paula Yates, Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof, hails to us from across the pond.
Lucky for us, Peaches, who presented her own reality show in the UK: Peaches Geldof: Teenage Mind and later: Peaches Geldof: Teen America, decided to move to hipster’s paradise: Williamsburg, Brooklyn and begin attending NYU. To her credit, Peaches seems to offer slightly more than the usual blonde-haired, wannabe interesting, fashionista socialite. Besides presenting her own reality shows, Peaches has also written columns and articles for The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, Elle Girl and Nylon magazines. Looks like Peaches and cream’s got a thing for journalism.
But don’t let the extra long bylines fool you, in true accordance with socialite laws, Peaches has also been caught in a potential drug scandal buying drugs from the same dude that supplies Amy Crackhouse with her daily fix, dated a plethora of grimy indie British rockers, pissed off some fellow socialite/ fashionistas, and been rumored to have made some “suggestive” remarks to rocker, Pete Doherty.
People also seem to think she’s sexy and fashionable, seeing as she was ranked number seven in the Tatler’s list of Top Ten Fashion Icons for the year in 2006, and voted 53rd sexiest woman in the world in 2007 by FHM readers. And all before her 19th birthday? That’s pretty cool. But where’s the catch? Ah, here it is. Seems I forgot to mention that Peaches is off the market. Nope, I’m not talking about one of her many British rocker boyfriends, but rather, her husband: American musician Max Drummey from the band Chester French. The couple wed in August of 2008 and have been quoted as saying that they’re happily in love. How Britney of her.
