...and look how beautiful she is!

Taylor Momsen was spotted leaving her London hotel this morning, and even though she might be hiding a serious case of the raccoon eyes under her oversize shades, she stayed away from Xtina's clown lipstick when she put on her face this morning.

So what other trouble has the Gossip Girl star turned rocker been getting into lately? In a recent interview with The Guardian, Taylor reveals she's an advocate for uh, touching yourself. "I'm a promoter of masturbation," she told the paper. "Don't sleep around – learn yourself first! Guys do, but girls don't. And that's why girls have so many bad experiences." Taylor added, "You can know your body, know yourself, know what feels good. You don't have to give yourself away just to have sexual relevance. Because I don't think sex is something people should be afraid of. It's part of human nature, so I don't think it should be so shameful – particularly for girls and young girls."
