Of course it depends who is under it.?
Would you say that Rolling Stones represents negative part of the UK culture? THey were all drugs and rock and roll, how about Eric Clapton? Marianne Faithful? How do you want the UK culture to be represented? Who do you think embodies the feel of the whole UK current culture?
In reply to KaWai:
The Rolling Stones were musicians who created popular pop/rock music. A fashion model is someone who is chosen to be used to help create images to sell fashion.
The UK culture needs help.
Good Lord, this isn't going to decend into yet another newsboard rant about whether La Moss is a worthy role model, is it? Surely your point, Karl, is whether she's a worthy recipient of flowers. Which...I guess we'll see from what people send her.
In reply to Sandrine:
Yes, that’s what we were discussing.
Don’t you think that the huge attention that KM receives is of much consequence? Or is there a greater need to chit chatter about what flowers Kate will get?
In reply to Karl Fuler:
You are quite wrong that the huge attention that KM recieves is of much consequence. It is a journalistic conceit; a trope just to write something, anything pressworthy - the subject isn't of much consequence. What they are saying about her isn't about her per se, it could just as easily be written about someone else famous and female - as it was about Marianne Faithful, indeed, after the Redlands bust, by an albeit far less sophisticated media industry.
This kind of 'let's have a heated debate' outrage obfuscates real social ills. The fact that our newspapers are full of Kate Moss rather that the fact that the multinationals that she endorses -yes with her appearance- are in fact what influences the fabric of our lives (material, moral, whatever). Are you honestly bothered that Kate Moss does drugs? And if so, do you think it improves our society to focus on that fact through a constant barrage of Daily Mail-style reportage?
Faced with reading the same style of -frankly misogynist- article that has been written about Kate Moss since June 1993 over and over again, yes, Karl, I'd rather think about flowers.
In reply to Sandrine:
Misogynistic?? What do they say?
I would be overjoyed if people switched their interest of Kate Moss to one of flowers, and if you have an interest in flowers why soil it with the baggage of association that is Kate Moss the icon.
I agree, if it wasn’t KM, it would be someone else constantly in the press, but if you think there is no demand for these articles, and that this phenomena is of no consequence, then you are greatly mistaken. KM has found herself in this situation and she can deal with it however she wishes. I don’t really care about the effect on Kate using cocaine, though there are some very serious moral issues around this drug which do concern me, but it doesn’t sound like they would bother you, Sandrine.
Maybe Kate could use her huge public attention and wealth to speak out about the multinationals that made her rich? But why should she? Let’s forget about that sort of thing and discuss our floral tributes to her.
In reply to Karl Fuler:
I'm absolutely against the use of cocaine because I've seen how treacherously enticing the drug is and the user doesn't realise the immense devastation it causes to the human spirit and not to mention the physiological effect !!! but how can you tell a grown-up with all the wealth at his/her disposal to think hard and long about the wreck he/she is about to become before it is rather too late ?.....If the person self cannot see it and realises it even with 200 mirrors in front of the face , then who can do it ?..... a totally impossible task !... I only sincerely wish if that is her case, indeed, that she can pull herself together and realise how much the goddess of fortune has given her, and indeed use her absolute very good fortune and blessings towards a very positive, good and plausible cause, not far from home, that would be simply ....the best !
