I will accept that she is moderately attractive

but I have been reading something with everyone going on about how influential and important she is and I do NOT get it

she is a pouty miserable looking thin woman

I do not get why she is so important

Um, because any crappy item of clothing looks fabulous on her and therefor anyone under 25 will want to wear it = £££ for clothing retailers.

LetThemEatCake · 02/10/2008 21:15

Icons. Who can explain 'em.

I'm with you. Miserable & thin. But I'll add snaggle-toothed to that.

Apparently she is incredibly professional though. Who knows.

Cappuccino · 02/10/2008 21:15

but every crappy item of clothing looks like it is hanging off a thin pouty miserable woman

same every single time

there is only the one facial expression - pee-d off

and she has dodgy teeth

LetThemEatCake · 02/10/2008 21:18

snap, palaver!

It's a conspiracy by the media to sell her as an icon

If they decided she wasn't, she would lose her icon status within a month

my brother had her in the back of his cab once. "She ain't all that"

Oliveoil · 02/10/2008 21:20

she is stunning

are you all blind?

Megglevache · 02/10/2008 21:21

and bandy legs.

Alright cakey?

Cappuccino · 02/10/2008 21:22

she is pouty and miserable Olive put your glasses on

hello love!

how goes my future son in law? and baby B?

palaver · 02/10/2008 21:23

dodgy teeth I say

Cappuccino · 02/10/2008 21:24

she's just average

OP posts:
Cappuccino · 02/10/2008 21:25

bordering on even more average

OP posts:
Megglevache · 02/10/2008 21:26

Ah they are good. He loves wedding cake

Megglevache · 02/10/2008 21:26

I do think she looks brill when the airbrushers have had their way though.

Cappuccino · 02/10/2008 21:27

eh?

OP posts:
Oliveoil · 02/10/2008 21:27

pfffffft

most famous models have something about them

they are not the most beautiful, or tallest, or whatever

they just are influential

like that Agy atm, minger imo

but she is everywhere and also a 'style icon'

Kate Moss has that certain something and if you look at all her pics from the last decade she is indeed beautiful

I may set up a fan club

Cappuccino · 02/10/2008 21:28

why a style icon?

what is so stylish?

OP posts:
Cappuccino · 02/10/2008 21:29

here for example

here is a picture of 'Kate and her bag' big fuss made

what is going on? it's a woman in jeans, some crappy boots, and a bag. An expensive bag possibly, but then she can afford it.

where's the great?

OP posts:
LittleBella · 02/10/2008 21:30

Her teeth are good
It's because they're nto perfect that they balance her out and make her look great when she would otherwise look very ordinary

LetThemEatCake · 02/10/2008 21:30

Megs, we must FB, need to convene with you and talk shoes etc

KAte Moss is indeed something out of the ordinary, even if not in conventional sense. Fair play. Wonder how that little girl of hers will turn out.

LetThemEatCake · 02/10/2008 21:30

a bag she can afford!!!

lol.

she was GIVEN that bag.

LittleBella · 02/10/2008 21:30

It's not a nice bag

Flamebat · 02/10/2008 21:31

I could live with those teeth

Not like that Loreal Sublime Bronze woman's teeth
