I wanted to ignore this story, but the tabloid papers and newscasts here have their knickers in a twist over coke-head Kate. It’s impossible to walk by a newsagent in London without seeing lame headlines like “Kate’s Blown It.” It appears the stickpin supermodel has now been dumped by H&M, Burberry and Chanel. The head of London’s Metropolitan Police has personally ordered an investigation into her Class-A drug use, and now she might lose custody of her daughter. What do I have to say about this? Good!

   Don’t get me started on how all of these alleged American models of beauty are coke-ing and starving themselves to look akin to malnourished pubescent boys just so that men can feel like men in their waif-like, empty, and near invisible presence.

   there are so many people out there that jump to these hasty conclusions that supermodels are unhealthy junkies that dont deserve credit for the way they look. however, there are models out there that are in fact healthy, even if may look like ‘pubescent boys’ as it has been put, thats health is jeprodized when people slag them for looking the way they do, natural or no. their small size is what is commanded of them, and although not entirely healthy and all that, that is the industry and if your going to change one, you’ll have to change them all – sad but thrue
