Kate Moss weight gain is small step for womankind
While I would love to believe that Kate Moss’ reported weight gain might forever alter the insane beauty standards to which we all (or at least a few of us) hold ourselves, I’m not quite that delusional. Yet. It is a nice thought, however, and Caitlin Moran wrote an interesting, highly tongue-in-cheek article on the topic for the Times Online in which she stated, among other things, the following:
At the launch of the New York Topshop last week, Moss was smoky-eyed and serene in a clingy, floor-length, emerald green dress, in which you could see a distinct curve to her tum. Not a concave curve, you understand - as seen on skinny Russian teenage models - but a convex one. As if in acknowledgement that a woman’s lower torso has to hold liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen and a tennis court full of intestines, and clearly cannot do this in something that measures 20ins around.
And yet, despite Moss having the temerity to have a waistline big enough to fit all her innards in, everyone behaved perfectly normally around her. Indeed, not only was she not thrown down a well - but she was allowed in a fashion shop! While people photographed her! As a representative! And acted like it was all OK! In a world where Jessica Simpson’s 1stone weight gain makes CNN, the former EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy is being hounded into total dysmorphia for hitting a size 14, supermodel Kate Moss’s round belly is like Rosa Parkes, finally digging in her heels and sitting up the front of the bus.

So Kate Moss is aging just like the rest of us and she has developed a spare tire just like the rest of us, which must mean that she is human…just like the rest of us. Hip hip hooray. I think I’ll go eat a pint of ice cream. Oh and by the way, it seems the cookbook rumours were false but more on that later.
