Skinny Kate

FashionWatch.com also recently reported that supermodel Kate Moss appears to have lost more weight — as much as 10 pounds — in an effort to gain back her former body and be able to compete with younger models for lucrative contracts. According to the site, the 33 year old has gone on a detox diet of hot water and green leaves, motivated by the fact that she recently lost to younger women some key contracts, such as Agent Provocateur, whose campaign now features Daisy Lowe, the daughter of Moss’s former friend and longtime rival, Pearl Lowe.

Who Dares Wear Those Pants?

This could soon be an interesting question, considering a recent proposal made before Atlanta, Georgia’s city council. The proposal recommends criminalizing the public wearing of low-riding, underwear-exposing pants. According to The New York Times,lawmakers, starting with those in Louisiana, have begun enacting indecency ordinances to prevent people from wearing pants “low enough to expose underwear,” saying that this “poses a threat to the public.” Critics of these laws say the real issue here is hip hop style itself, particularly when worn as a “badge of delinquency,” as well as freedom of expression.

Dr. Benjamin Chavis, the former executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who co-founded the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network with music mogul Russell Simmons, said, “I think to criminalize how a person wears their clothing is more offensive than what the remedy is trying to do,” continuing on to state that the HipHop- Summit Action Network will challenge the ordinances in court. He further states that instead of focusing on criminalizing certain types of clothing, lawmakers should focus on “cleaning up the social conditions that the sagging pants comes out of.”
