Taylor Momsen flashes breasts during New York gig

Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen put her pastie-covered breasts on display during a performance in Manhattan.

The 17-year-old star flashed the crowd - sort of - while performing with her band at an after-party for Rock The Sidewalk, an Express and Paper magazine event, in New York City, reports the New York Daily News.

Momsen, performing with her band The Pretty Reckless, was singing the single Make Me Wanna Die in a get-up of fishnet stockings and heels paired with a ripped shirt.

Midway through the song, Momsen started fondling her chest before pulling her top down, exposing her breasts, according to HollywoodLife.com footage of the performance.

The singer, of course, had pasties covering her nipples, but the overall raunchiness of the act was barely subdued.

The actress told Bullett magazine that she sees herself as "totally insane" and "totally out of my mind," but also insisted she's "always myself."
