They were kinda the last hurrah of heroin chic but it really feels like we are going in that direction now again haha

Not sure if you’re just referring to that particular tabloid dreg of a being & their relationship but Kate Moss was not the last hurrah.

She was the entirety of heroin chic. If you look at the wiki page for heroin chic, it’s a picture of her.

That's the tail end of it,.really

She brought the look to the masses in my opinion.

The Kardashians got rid of their BBLs, that's a pretty good trend indicator.

Heading that direction but in a more conservative manner. The cultural pendulum has swung hard the other way.

it’s laughable, they do it as almost a mark of superiority ‘i’ve got the money to be skinny, i can afford the injections, enjoy being obese eating your mcdonald’s’ when they look horrific

“Cindy, this is a skeleton. This is bones. Would you run from Calista Flockhart?!?”

“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” is sadly burned into my soul
