She is a laudable model who has made an impressive mark on the world of fashion and is still able to sell anything. I'm certainly not disputing the fact that in terms of consumption and franchises (Top Shop, her fragrances and soon a book) she continues to be a huge success, I'm simply noting that her potential as a "muse" is not what it used to be. I no longer find her riveting on a visual level. Remember that this is only my personal opinion and my use of the words "washed up" should not be taken so seriously. <br />Thanks for taking the time to comment! I hope you will still continue to read my posts in the future even if we disagree on certain cultural institutions!July Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409939952617500817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834710215799940623.post-2341907108497157342009-05-23T18:41:49.644-07:002009-05-23T18:41:49.644-07:00Kate Moss is beautiful.

She will always be beautiful, lines, bronzer, and all. <br />To use an expression like washed up about any woman is a sign of hatred and cruelty.<br />No woman is ever washed up unless she thinks she is and for one woman to say it of another, especially of one such as Ms. Moss, who has been one of our greatest style icons and most sensational beauties, is a sad<br />reflection on the speaker.<br />My God. Give a girl a break, would you? She is stunning. Her choice of turban and toga, as always, arresting. Who else would have had such ingenuity. Funny. I own a store, and a few girls asked me for turbans the other day. Should have known that some great girl out there was rockin one. <br />Finally, why doesn't her history, her legacy as a model place her in a place of honor, instead, in your mind, in a place of competition with flimsy new comers who may never, ever achieve what she has.<br />Drug addiction and all.<br />Think back.<br />Think back to the number of times she took your breath away.<br /><br />Your blog is very intelligent.<br />Your mind keen and your writing excellent.<br />Thank you for putting it out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834710215799940623.post-28463258260915182242009-05-16T02:28:00.000-07:002009-05-16T02:28:00.000-07:00Ugh, the toss the Moss!

She is celebrated as a style muse when everything she wears has been done before or only looks acceptable on her because she is sustained by drugs instead of food. An overly-made-up face is the least of her problems.<br /><br />I love that you are not afraid to post critiques - a breath of fresh air in an often sycophantic, reverential blogosphere! Looking forward to more ;)<br /><br />http://crocodilianblog.blogspot.comCrocodilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04909059602447576249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834710215799940623.post-9888674193688180122009-05-13T16:28:00.000-07:002009-05-13T16:28:00.000-07:00I thought she just looks like she is trying too ha...I thought she just looks like she is trying too hard.

I have no idea why she thinks she can do this when it looks like she just covered a badly made up mask on top of her natural aging face. <br /><br />I always wonder, no we always wondered, when the Kate Moss obsession that has happened for decades now would slowly fade. It is just starting to fade...what with Erin Wasson getting so much press. I remember just six months ago when she was literally blowing up and now all I can see is a woman holding on with her bloody fingernails. Nothing lasts forever, not even Moss.<br /><br />Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834710215799940623.post-43449330055053194442009-05-07T11:58:00.000-07:002009-05-07T11:58:00.000-07:00On dirait une orange...sauf qu'on peut pas la pele...On dirait une orange...sauf qu'on peut pas la peler avec un couteau...pas intérêssant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834710215799940623.post-54002899653808329492009-05-07T06:39:00.000-07:002009-05-07T06:39:00.000-07:00god there were some clangers that night!
