An iconic figure of the ninties, now in her thirties is Kate Moss.
Kate caught making lines of coke.
Perhaps, Kate has learned something. She's been in rehab. She should know better but the disease is tricky and tells you everything is okay. You don't have a disease. You can handle it. How many examples of death, physical and mental destruction are needed before someone gets through to help themselves? Million dollar question.

Now the new girls Lindsy, Nicole and Paris, who drink, drug and party are celebrity misfits and really dumb. That's what alcohol and drugs can do to you.

Paris drunk and blank.
I'll spare you the photo of Paris's nose with residue of coke on her nostril out on the net.
Girls you're making fools of yourselves. If you keep it up, you just might hit someone who won't dent but could be seriously hurt or dead and that person might be you.
