Well, she is a pleasant woman with some shaky views, but she REPRESENTS many negative aspects of our culture.
Do you have any views on this?

I guess the idea behind this project is to get you to express your feelings in some floral way.You could send her a bunch of stinging nettles or thorny rose stems or a wreath if you were feeling negative. A crown of thorns wold be seen to be symbollic.

I can think of better things to do with my feelings.
Are you sending something? Forgetmenot or Toadflax perhaps?

Don't we all have some shaky views, don't we all act shaky sometime in our lives? And culture-what is it? It's a mixture of all the goods and bads and trials and errors combined.
Does Kate Moss really represents negative aspects of our culture? I think she is too young to be summed up at this point.

...I do understand your point of view to certain extent...but then to answer the question, my thoughts are ( and I'm speculating of course ), I don't think she herself wishes or pretends to represent anything in the way mentioned......the wending her life has taken is all born out of the position and status she has acquired as an icon along the way in the field of beauty & fashion and only just because she happens to work in the mentioned industry, and the press has done ( still does) the rest in making her in wanting to make her in what you have referred to .

She certainly have proved to be very good at what she does as a model without no doubt at all, there lies her true achievement......What she does in/with her private life doesn't really concern me because she is just a human being like anyone with virtues and faults....What the press and her fans make of her has indeed all to do with , again, what the press and the fans make of it all....
I do not particularly attach her the so called value in culture just because she happens to be taking part in this project, it is just a job where she happens to be the model...and as for the project itself the aspect I like is that ' Say it with Flowers' is a positive thought and a goodwill gesture in essence and symbolism.....

I have read some opinions in the internet about her that are ever so shameful to even think them because nobody is absolutely perfect... and when I remember those mean thoughts then I am obliged to put everything in perspective and then I would say ...1000 times Kate Moss the model in ' Say with Flowers' than when thinking of the so many people who are in the limelight and who have positions of true power, whose bad decisions always affect people in a very profound way ...To give you an idea., and please forgive my choice of example, I do not intend to offend anyone....: 'Say with flowers for Tony Blair '....then I would certainly disapprove.....and all based on his decisions that have brought great sadness to many people...and when thinking of all the humans who out no choice of their own had/have to go to a war that is not particularly theirs... and not forgetting the sorrow such actions have caused to many families because their love ones no longer can come back home...but sadly all gone to dust...that is when I think people should attach a value of profound effect if we want to be moralistic about a person in the limelight. What she may represent to some people and her value as 'culture ' because they want/wish to attach a label to her that is up to each individual's wisdom to decide . She just lives her life the way she can, wishes to, is allowed to the best of her abilities , and bad decisions are always made by all us humans at one point in our lives... that's life ....

I personally would find it rather unfair to assume anything without really knowing her personally or that well enough as to be sure of ones personal judgement on her persona....and in the way I personally see things, I believe in what is called ' the private space '. ...and I always consider that sacred because everyone has the right to it even if they happen to be a movie stars, an icon, etc . Having said that I thoroughly enjoy the positive aspect of the project.....because the real world is full of really ugly things.....positive energy is what really matters in the end...but that is one opinion among so many...:):):)

In her professional role Kate Moss does represent many ugly realities – and that is her personal choice, not necessity. She may not have chosen or created her great influence, but it is only her responsibility how she uses it.
Do you think Nick knight would continue with this project if Kate Moss was to come out as a far right, holocaust denier, for example.

On the first statement...aren't we humans demanding far to much of her and her character when we 'ordinary mortals' are to lazy to even treat each other with courtesy and respect while doing something so banal like waiting at a queue ? I'm not so sure that it is our role to say or demand for that matter how she should behave or use her 'responsibility ' when people cannot even keep a promise ! Forgive me...but the only people I will always applied those demands exactly as you mentioned it....are : politicians , the clergy and anyone in a position of trust ....People who use ( or expect ) icons or figures in the entertainment industry to be 'Moral Riders ' do need help indeed, I totally agree with you......In any case I'm not so sure she represents more uglier things than Poetin, Mugabe, etc... and all the totally morally corrupted ' Crown Jewels ' we call ...'Political Leaders of the World '...perhaps we are always looking in the wrong place to search for real and tangible ugliness .... that's is my humble opinion...

On your second statement...my question would be : Is that true ? !!!... and has that been documented and published in order to inform myself a lot better because I'm curious to enlighten myself on the subject. I always like to read facts as long as they are tangible facts and not gossip made up by human's virtue in pettiness, so that I'm able to voice a solid and sound personal opinion on such a profound subject.....but to be very honest with you, as far as I'm concerned I've never ever read that in any informative journal of stature, surely I've missed that one !....that would be a total revelation to me... indeed.. ..if what you are saying is correct
and accurate !

I dont care what she does in her private life,but i dont think shes anything overtly special,i guess she provokes reaction and she is admired,but shes a total sell out,
a perfume,a clothing line,she is the jordon of the fashion world and she is whipping her name for as much cash as she can before nobody cares about her any more...
im in no doubt that she will look stunning in the final product and that the end result will look sharp and creative as all of show studios work is...but i dont care about kate,if anything she is safe ,people should send her coronations!

...... you are very entitled to your own opinion, very understandably ....but I'm just wondering how can someone who doesn't care about... whoever.... can write with so much passion as to give away her very personal personal feelings about someone they claim... not to care at all !!... , that is really puzzling.....to put it mildly...:):)

PS. If we are talking about the language of flowers ..... perhaps yellow CARNATIONS are more appropriate in the case anyone feels just like that ..... :):)
