Model takes drugs in shock to absolutely no-one

Hypocrisy rears its ugly head again, and I’m afraid, everyone’s at it.

This whole media circus surrounding Kate Moss at the moment doesn’t reflect glory on any of the participants.

First you have the companies who have various endorsement deals with the model. One has apparently cancelled some contract or other, as they “take a strong anti-drug stance” and the others are getting jumpy.

Well here’s a hint guys, stop getting models to endorse your products or make it a contractual condition that they do weekly drug tests. That way, we can believe your “strong anti-drug stance” is something more than hyperbole. Are we really supposed to believe that these companies didn’t know that a great many models take drugs?

Then you have various (principally female) journalists debating whether or not Ms Moss is good looking !! Seriously, two of them were at it on Radio 5 yesterday. More than a hint of jealously and “bitch getting her comeuppance” I suspect, but ladies, you should have left that behind in the 6th form. It’s not journalism.

Lastly, you have the industry itself. Modelling for years has been a haven for the self-obsessed, the vacuous, the empty-headed; people who think it’s in someway “cool” to have an eating disorder, or a rampant drug habit. Couple that with the (lets be honest) pseudo-prostitution, and you look at an industry that really, seriously, isn’t creditable. No-one should aspire to be “The UK’s next ‘top’ model”

As for Ms Moss? She’s simply doing what models do. Is anyone surprised?
