I think that in the US, skinny has much more of a wealth connotation than it does in /Europe, at least from my own experience over the years. The wealthy in the US are extremely weight obsessed, as a symbol of status almost, whereas in europe there is less of a wide spread in thin/fat (more healthy weight people overall) and exercise/diet is less attributed to your social class@MickeyMouse I've noticed since I moved here, in the general public NO single soul is skinny. Even thin is a hit and miss view. There's not a lot of obese people, but you hardly see someone who is rather fit, unless a football player.
Back in the states, you'd think my university was made for models because everyone made it their deal to look skinny, men and women alike. It seems the English like their sweets is all. You don't see a SoulCycle on every corner here either, I'd say walking is the most exercise people do. While that's not bad, it can be rather hard to lose weight from that.
I have never seen Kate as outstandingly skinny, but I'm not sure why. I think part of it has to do with how natural it looks on her. But god that does not matter when you can photograph like she does. And I absolutely agree with you regarding her life. Everyone knows she partied and still does, but they truly find that as a bad thing? They think it's a bad influence, but I think that as long as she's been modeling, she hasn't been a great influence. For the general public, obviously. I mean President Clinton in the nineties made a comment about "heroin chic" and how it should not be idolized.
ok as shitty as she looks i can't help but hope that i give that little of a fuck (at least mentally) at some point in my adulthood
For context, in case anyone doesn't know, this is from the filming of the upcoming Absolutely Fabulous movie.
I absolutely concur!I think that in the US, skinny has much more of a wealth connotation than it does in /Europe, at least from my own experience over the years.

This is slightly off topic, but I met some guy the other day (at a professional event actually) who was kind enough to tell me all the illicit drugs he has ever triedWhile NO ONE will look the same at 11, 21, 31, 41 etc as they did the decade before/after, Kate's face shows she's had an incredible life to say the least.
Part of me thinks 'oh yuck' but the other part of me thinks 'wow if she died today she would have lived more than so many other people. All those memories.'
Me again!This is slightly off topic, but I met some guy the other day (at a professional event actually) who was kind enough to tell me all the illicit drugs he has ever tried(he has actually tried.. everything) and the related experiences/how he has almost died several times. Yeah he probably has lived more than I ever will in some regards, but at the same time, given a choice, I likely wouldn't even want his life. Kate's life, especially her early life, reminds me of the same.
The first picture is so unflattering. She looks like an worn-out housewive.Charlotte Tilbury's Christmas party
