On the plane yesterday I caught sight of someone's Standard revealing the shocking news that Kate Moss isn't the only model who uses cocaine, indeed maybe a majority of people involved in fashion do.

I believe the second headline was the news that Napoleon has escaped from Elba

further indication that the news isn't ever new.

I was reading something the other day from 1920 which could (style aside) have been a comment column in today's papers.

Oh hang on, it made sense and was well-thought-out and intelligent. Scrub that.

Shock! Gasp! Horror!

When did that detestable creature escape?

And what is cocaine?

[liadnan]

I believe it's the secret ingredient in a popular fizzy drink.

Oh, I think I know what you refer to. Thank you.

'Tis a weird product though. I mean, if people want to drink things which tickle their noses, why can't they drink champagne?

[liadnan]

I couldn't agree more.

*g* this reminds me of Let them eat cake (wouldn't surprise me if a line of cocaine were actually cheaper than a glass of champagne now).

Well spotted.

They captured Napoleon?

[rparvaaz.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. I didn't have to tank up laudanum for *months*...but he has escaped now. :(

News just in: Shit found in woods, bears suspected.

[liadnan]

What I'm not entirely sure about is whether the people responsible for the story are incredibly naive or massive hypocrites. But given they're London journalists I suspect the latter.

watching sky noos a couple of nights back 'n' 'a leading fashion spokesperson' woz saying that moss should be 'ung out ter dry because of the terrible shame that she 'ad 'eaped upon 'er industry. also, 'n' this is the kicker, she said that 'most people in the fashion industry had never even seen drugs let alone used them'. then later on in the interview she repeated this claim...wiv a straight face 'n' wivout the reporter bursting inter larfter.

Spokesperson and reporter probably retired to the bathrooms for a line after the interview.

I am representing the majority of people involved in fashion. We are instituting a libel suit against the Standard. Kate Moss is so 1992. Lumping the rest of in with her is harmful to our professional reputation. We are not old.

She was very young in 1992... And I have to say I genuinely do find her beautiful (except at the moment, when she looks a bit of a wreck in the flesh)

[nicnac.livejournal.com]

She is v beautiful. Also a bit stupid not to go off to the bathroom to indulge, knowing what she had to lose and her position in the public eye. As always, her crime wasn't doing it, just getting caught.

This morning's Popbitch comments:

Now that the world's worst-kept secret has
finally made it on to the front of the tabloids
- thin model likes drugs and sex - everyone is
queuing up to have a go at Kate Moss.

Even her rivals' model agencies have been getting
in on the act, writing letters to the likes of
Chanel and Rimmel, pretending to be irate
customers, and trying to get her dropped because
they are sick of her getting all the big
contracts and their models getting none.

But leading the anti-Moss charge are, of course,
the newspapers, who are ecstatic about the
opportunity to put a circulation-friendly
beautiful woman on the cover while
sanctimoniously attacking her for taking
drugs and having sex.

To be honest the thought of Kate Moss eating out Davina Taylor whilst coked up has kept me going through the night.

The damned dog! I trust that the Duke of Wellington has been informed?
