Good for Kate!

Apparently supermodel Kate Moss has told the London Metro Police (UK) that she’ll report back to them in England when she’s damn good and ready to talk about her recreational coke use. And good for her too.

“Kate Moss” said the news story today, “will defy police demands to return to Britain to face allegations of drug-taking, insisting she is too busy working.”

And since when is it necessary to be an exemplar of bourgeois morality in order to model clothes and cosmetics anyhow? I thought the creative branding experts liked the edginess of the pop culture elite’s lifestyle? Maybe they’d not desire it for themselves or their families but it probably does help with the sales of products to the trendy and the wannabes, eh? So one would think based on past experience anyhow.

And as to the cops then? Moss’ spokesman said this:

“ 'The police know who her lawyers are and if they want to force her to come back they will have to speak to them rather than the newspapers.' "

And

" 'You do have to ask yourself why, when there are so many terrible crimes out there, they seem to be concentrating on Kate Moss.’ ”

Indeed.

Which is really the issue here. In the UK crime is trending rather high these days not to mention the terror attacks last summer. So don’t the Metro PD have better and more helpful work to do? You’d think so anyhow.
