Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Kate Moss has burst her own bubble, not through hanging about with crackheads or being photographed in a compromising situation, but by simply opening her mouth... oh dear.
Kate speaks in the latest Topshop podcast, as part of the hyped-up drive to convince us that this Moss-branded collection is more than the run-of-the-mill Topshop range it is.
It seems like Kate just strolls in, tries some stuff on, says 'yeah, love it, it's gorge' and then swaggers off. And WHO edited that podcast to include the excruciating 'mocasin' moment?

shmock-tactics


There are smocks gallore on the high street, but I've tried a few on and found the smock look is difficult to pull off without looking like Mama Cass. Anyone got any solutions??

No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no no more neon!





I must admit I felt slightly ridiculous dancing to the Prodigy with lots of sweaty 17 year olds the other night.
Let's face facts - the so-called 'new rave' trend is creeping onto the High Street. Speaking as someone who remembers rave the first time round, I didn't blow whistles, wave glo-sticks, or wear t-shirts emblazoned with acid smiley faces. I seem to remember I wore a sensible M&S jumper to clubs in my youth, but that's another story.
The neon hues of 'New Rave' are inescapable so we might as well deal with it. I think the only way of adopting the rave look is with controlled neon use. No luminous pink slogan t-shirts for me. I think I'll be opting for a slick of bright pink lipstick, or perhaps a flash of bright cut-off tights?
Do you dare to day-glo? Techno techno techno techno...
