Kate Moss: You Know You Googled Her

by

One of the most popular searches to bring readers to this site is Kate Moss. That’s if you detract from the amazing variations of thinspiration, pro-ana and eating disorder searches you’d find on my stats. Back to Kate.

She’s been our eye-candy, diet-lust and cocaine-scorn for nearing two decades. Ever since she was the hollow eyed little girl in the CK ads, North America and the UK have alternated between hating and loving her: for her body, cheekbones, relationship with Pete Doherty and drug habit. I still don’t understand everyone’s awe when she was photographed snorting coke in that nightclub, but if you all want to bury your heads in the sand and think that most major models have done or are currently doing some major drugs…that’s your perogative.

So, in honour of your quest for Kate:

  • Born January 16, 1974
  • Kate was discovered at JFK Airport when she was 14.
  • Initially made famous to out-of-industry peoples as the face of Calvin Klein (1993), but actually shot her first magazine cover in 1990 and did printwork for YSL in 1992.
  • Was known as the “anti-supermodel” in the 1990s, as she was shorter and waifish in comparison to other ubermodels like Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford. Unlike today’s unspoken standards, which are promoting more waifs than ever before.
  • The image of “heroin chic” and major thinspiration personality.
  • Gave birth to daughter, Lila Grace, in 2002.
  • She’s a reputed size 4 (US), according to this site. But I find that to be a joke, since her and I have the same measurements and she’s got an inch on me, and I’m a 00.
  • She’s been treated for exhaustion (1998) and drug addiction (2005).

About Eating Disorder Talk

The goal of Eating Disorder Talk is to encourage family and friends of people living with disordered eating - as well as sufferers - to learn more about the conditions, where to get help, the risks associated and another vessel of communication. I come with 20 years of experience living with (and sometimes for) anorexia; my job is not to cure, it’s to allow others to speak. This means wanting to help those that want help and to provide a voice to those who don’t.
