Kate Moss

Unless you've been in a cave, in the arctic, on the space station, or in Siberia during the past two weeks, you probably have not escaped the furore surrounding Kate Moss. There those who view the deserved castigation of that immoral woman as sanctimonius, harsh even. It's ludicrous that morally upstanding people should have to defend their sanctions against the derelict but life being what it is, there's no helping it.

When news of and proof of her drug habit surfaced, and she demonstrated her contrition, we magnanimously pardoned her transgression: she may be a supermodel with the jet set life style of a rock star but she's no better than us, infact she's to be pitied, poor little degenerate. It's Life affirming, isn't it? Shows life in a whole new perspective!

If only that had been it, we'd have moved on with our lives. But no, poor little rich girl had to push the bounds of forbearance; the worst was yet to come. The reports of drug use were followed by more sinister ones: It soon emerged that she is a (to be read in relatively hushed tones)sexual pervert. She not only has sexual fantasies, she enacts them. What world is this in which women have fantasies? Aren't they still catalysts and props for the satisfaction of men? Or has something changed! Jude Law was mentioned as one of the participants in those (supercilious, sanctimonius attitude is recommended while saying this) orgies; but am certain that he was a victim of that pariah: why else would he have divorced Sadie Frost(Moss's partner) if he'd had it so good? Alas, society is to blame for this tragedy, feminists were given too many concessions.
But hold on a minute, sexual experimentation is not right even for men. The least we can do is allow for a don't ask don't tell policy. But even with that, she's still culpable. She wasn't discreet in her actions and as a result she stands as a living reproach to all of us for our secret fantasies and desires, and the occasion slips that occur as a consequence. But one's conscience is difficult enough to placate without embodiment. Which is why Kate must be reprimanded: we must embalm our principles by making a precedent of this personification of weakness!
