How does she look so amazing given her hedonistic alcohol-fueled lifestyle?

She's older than she makes out too as my friend's dh went to school with her! She has good genes for sure.

worraliberty · 30/10/2011 14:56

I don't know

Money? Carefully air brushed photos?

Or maybe she's just one of those people who don't look alcohol ravaged?

MarieFromStMoritz · 30/10/2011 14:59

Really valiumredhead? How old is she?

Actually, I don't think she looks that good. Her skin is bad and very dehydrated. I looked better than her at that age. Not as beautiful as her, but younger with better skin. Her teeth are a bit skanky as well.

I like her though - I think she's cool Smile

Bangtastic · 30/10/2011 14:59

The miracle of make up. I've never found her particularly 'amazing' though.

MillyR · 30/10/2011 15:03

I have never understood why Kate Moss is a model.

She does not seem to match up in any way to what society expects models to look like.

CotherMuckingFunt · 30/10/2011 15:04

She looks like a dried up old hag.

SamMiguel · 30/10/2011 15:04

Hmmm, this might make you feel better

That seems to be the idea Milly. Most supermodels aren't what we would consider to be beautiful, which is strange, as they are what we are supposed to aspire to. They often have a strange look about them, especially catwalk models.

MillyR · 30/10/2011 15:18

I don't think Kate Moss does have a strange look about her, although I know what you mean about catwalk models sometimes looking strange.

I think she started off looking ordinary, and now she does look like a person who has had a drug problem for many years.

Bangtastic · 30/10/2011 15:24

She is looking rough these days. But then even i her younger days, without make up and heavily photoshopped campaigns, she was nothing that 'special'. God I must sound like I am Elle McPhereson Grin but there are much better supermodels for the job than her these days. I think he is more famous for her ways rather than looks now, which is quite sad.

squeakyfreakytoy · 30/10/2011 15:24

She looks great with make up, photoshop, and excellent photographers.

She has a fantastic figure.

I wouldnt say she looked any younger than she is, or anything exceptional when she is not being professionally snapped.

valiumredhead · 30/10/2011 15:25

marie 2 years older than she says she is Grin

Nevertooearlyforcake · 30/10/2011 15:26

I think she looks increasingly like Gillian Taylforth

Gingefringe · 30/10/2011 15:28

Must be all that cheap crap wonderful Rimmel make-up she's selling.

perfumedlife · 30/10/2011 15:30

I see she's having beer for breakfast on her hols according to the Daily Mail. I think she has a real pram face. Can one still say that? Confused How old is she anyway?

Bangtastic · 30/10/2011 15:33

Pram face Grin 47 37 isn't she?

wellwisher · 30/10/2011 15:34

She's had TWO facelifts. HTH :)

Bangtastic · 30/10/2011 15:40

2 facelifts?! Jesus. Really?! Shock Who are your sources?

bibbitybobbitybloodyaxe · 30/10/2011 15:40

Are you being unreasonable about what?

perfumedlife · 30/10/2011 15:46

Blush Sorry, just realised your opening link referenced the beers!

YABU, if she had a portrait in the attic, she would look young and fresh and beautiful and she doesn't. She looks like she doesn't wash.

Triggles · 30/10/2011 17:07

I've always thought it was in rather poor taste of Rimmel cosmetics to put her in ads showing her "partying all night" in their makeup and still "looking fresh" afterwards, when you consider all the drug allegations surrounding her. My own personal annoyance, I know, but because of that I will not buy their products. I'm sure it makes not one bit of difference to THEM, but it makes a difference to me.

God, I hope she's not some sort of icon to the younger generation. What a poor role model.

Proudnscary · 30/10/2011 17:12

She's actually 49 - she's had FOUR facelifts, botox in her eyeballs, dermabrasion on her arse and derma fillers in her teeth. And a liver transplant. I know this for a fact.

noddyholder · 30/10/2011 17:15

I think she is lovely.

cherrypez · 30/10/2011 17:19

what is 'pramface'?

Proudnscary · 30/10/2011 17:21

(me too noddy)
