Kate Moss Wants To Rewrite History
In an interview with Allure, Kate would also like the world to know she was never anorexic. Whatever. You can't tell the world in 2009 that your favorite expression in the world is, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels," and then in 2013 tell the world you were never anorexic. The entire anorexic online community has adopted her favorite expression as their own. Kate just says she does not always find time to eat. Uh huh. Oh, and the days in a row with just cigarettes and coke and no eating? Just could not find the time to eat. Maybe she is doing this because her daughter is old enough to read everything and probably does not want her to think mom was a heroin user who has convinced a generation of adolescents that starving is the way to go.

In Kate's defense (from Enty's claiming SHE is responsible), a model is hardly to blame on her own for society's ills. It's not like she self-published those ads.
The fashion industry's standards of beauty AND ED's of many types started a century before this model was born. ED's probably older than that.
Women have desired & endangered themselves to attain every different type of figure over the centuries; it's frankly ignorant to pretend that women are only suffering judgement over their looks, or pressure to be fit since the 1990's.
She's mildly cute, and for a fallen era she was a great icon. But it's 2013. She's smoking crack somewhere in front of children, while a thousand better models exist and look better. She's a celeb, not a model at this point.
Kate's personal denial is another story. I'm commenting about the blame a model seems to be getting here.
I would like to see some blame cast on fat-shaming and ALL body-shaming, period. That has had no effect on girls wanting to be thin?
Kate, you ole junkie, shut the fuck up and go sit down.
You can say those two things, one statement doesn't automatically equal being anorexic but I do believe KM is. She aged long ago due to her drug use.
I'm much more interested in why so many models are drug addicts and have eating disorders. That is a direct reflection on our society and comes from the modeling agencies, designers, and magazines.
Sorry, I know this will not be a popular opinion, but I think she is gorgeous.
To anyone living with an eating disorder, recovering from one, or knows someone with one there is a great book called "Living With Ed" that is great.
Well, ljsmed, you're not the first to say that. I think she is actually cute. I'm just still mad about the smoking crack in front of children while being a skankbag thing.
I want to apologize for the bad wording in my first comment^^.
I had never thought about how Petey Pie still had money. Interesting.
She is all about the drugs and the parties. I dont know how she has managed to gold her shit together this long, honestly.
I don't think you had bad wording in your first comment @Libby. I had an eating disorder for 10 years, and I don't think I can say I'm fully recovered at this point. How do you know you've recovered? I don't know.
But I will say, not all eating disorders stem from wanting to be thin. "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" is definitely not my mantra when I'm feeling distressed. It's more like "I don't deserve to nourish myself, so I won't."
That being said though, I really admire models like Coco Rocha who do challenge the status quo, and she really does a lot to inspire not only models but young women as well to use their voice and not just to sit there and look pretty, but to have the brains as well. She is a really smart girl. I don't think it's up to models (or anyone in media) to parent impressionable kids/people, but it is nice to see some role models out there :)
I was never a Kate Moss fan, but she did have a certain something in the 90s.
I just hope her daughter doesn't get bad ideas from the fact that anytime the term "heroin chic" Is used, Kates name is always synonymous w/ it.
She smoked crack in front f kids? Whats the info on that story?
Love her
While not a fan, I always thought she was gorgeous.
please sit down
massive eye roll
Svetlana, exactly- for most it is a control thing. I was bulimic for 8 years in my 20's....and although I have not purged in 12 years, the mindset never completely leaves.
I couldn't believe she wasn't stricken down by a rogue lightning bolt when she said she never did heroin. Gimme a break, lady.
@parissucksliterally I don't think I've commented on your name before, but I love it!
It really is a control thing...ugh so many people think that by accepting bigger sizes they'll solve the ED crisis but it won't for most people. Congratulations on being purge-free for 12 years. That is amazing, sincerely :)
I wonder more about how pete dougherty is still alive! He must be.pickled and mumified
i have to say...she looks phenominal for a 40 yr old woman. She's lived a life of drugs and partying, and still looks this good. It's actually rather shocking.
To everyone saying she looks good-I agree! I think she is cute. And I commend her for trying to be a better role model for her daughter. Hell if I have kids I'll be really happy they don't know what I've done to myself. I'm better now...I'm fortunate my past hasn't been documented by tabloids. It would be better if she acknowledged the truth though
She was into heroin before Pete. She spent the last three months of 1998 in rehab because she almost died from heroin use. On the day she was released she had a lovely new car from Johnny Depp outside the gate waiting for her, which was nice. She was actually clean - for a few months - until she saw Johnny with Vanessa at Cannes the next May. Then it was 'Hello, heroin' all over again.
Big phony. Own your shit man!
I liked Kate Moss better when she never did any interviews. Bring back the mystery.
Allure? Really? Is that what's propping Vogue up now at Conde Naste? Isn't that the Ladies Home Journal for 20 year olds?
Kate had a photographer boyfriend who died from a heroin overdose in the very early nineties. I'm thinking 92. Such a wsste.
How do these people stay alive when all they do is party hard, never eat, and take dangerous drugs and smoke cigarettes? Like, 1% of them die of overdoses in spread out periods of time, I don't get it. Plus they usually have STD's, which weaken your immune system, I seriously can't understand.
lol@Kate
bitch please. ok!
Didn't the whole "heroin chic" look start with her?
And verrrrrrryyyyyy interesting about Pete Doherty.
