The wonderful/terrible thing about children is their honesty. I once babysat a 7-year-old chap who thoughtfully observed that my head looks too small for my body. This was the catalyst for a lifetime of insecure hair-fluffing and hat-wearing. Even people with a perfect head-to-body ratio have been the victim of the sincere truthfulness of children, including Kate Moss who has revealed that her daughter Lila Grace shamed her supermodel mother for the generous nudity in “Kate: The Kate Moss Book” her upcoming personal retrospective published by Rizzoli.
Kate divulged this detail in an interview with the New York Times:
“When my daughter opened the book, she said, ‘Oh no, mummy,’ ” Ms. Moss said, referring to Lila Grace Moss Hack, 10, her child from a marriage to the editor and publisher Jefferson Hack. Ms. Moss vowed to her daughter that there would be fewer crotch shots in the next book.
Compromise, right! In another excerpt Kate reveals her insecurities about how she perceives her own appearance:
The woman who has been featured on countless magazine covers (30 times, at last count, on the cover of British Vogue) added offhandedly: “I think they’re all right, my looks, now. But I’ve never seen myself as sexy or a side of myself that boys would like.”
Groan. If the greatest model of all time has those kinds of insecurities how will we pinheads of the world ever find real inner peace?
