The fashion industry has been forced to feign outrage at Kate Moss’ cocaine use. It has been hard for fashion executives to turn their usual blind eye to this drug use, considering pictures of the act were plastered on the cover of London’s Daily Mirror.
Rebecca Traister of Slate wrote:
“What this drama has done is lay bare the ugly skeleton that holds up a fashion industry that for some time has prized hollow cheeks and vacant eyes, stunted, prepubescent frames, and jutting collar bones from which fabric drapes beautifully. In other words, the body that is appealing to designers — and thus to consumers — is a body that looks like it has been ravaged by drugs. In order to stay employed, models must maintain this shape; to maintain the shape they must do something besides eat right and exercise regularly. Whether it’s cocaine or speed or heroin or caffeine or cigarettes or anorexia or bulimia or some combination of the above, most adult women cannot get bodies that look like Moss’ healthily, because hers is not a healthy body.”
It’s laughable to think that the fashion industry suddenly cares that young people are impressionable.

Cocaine? Geez! And all this time I thought she was on heroin!
The picture makes me think she was so high she forgot to put the rest of her clothes on.She looks healthy enough to me.I’ll bet Mae West weighed 3 times what she weighs. Oh, but that was just empty calories from all the booze.
Melissa, I agree with what you’re saying but do I also hear a “Meow?”
Tracy, Is this becoming a chorus of “Meows?”
Yeah! Bugar Sugar. Very common among the limousine left.
Skinny woman. Cut a man like a razor.
Marilyn Monroe wore a size 16. I miss the days when womanly figures and curves were in fashion.
Joe, you slimer. You say that after Rush Limbaugh did so much dope he went deaf.
Although in his case he wasn’t listening to anybody anyway.
Kate who?
Damoon,Me too!
Where have all the J.J. Cale fans gone to?Don’t forget this fact, you can’t get it back, COCAINE!
MEOW MY ASS.
Most models are insecure amd have low self esteem. As such, people with low self esteem and/or low morals are apt to engage in disgusting behaviours such as drug use and race-mixing!
Ian,Anybody with esteem and morals lower than yours has good reason to take drugs! In your case, might I recommend arsenic?
Jed,
It is my wish that race mixers and drug users remove themselves from the gene pool. Race mixers should all die of aids and drug users should all overdose and make the world a better place.
As for my morals, I have never used drugs, never cheated on my wife and I don’t lie or steal!
Ian,If you had used drugs, cheated on your wife etc., maybe you wouldn’t feel such a need to be a rabid chihuahua. Down boy!
