The name says it all - Ultra-super-model and fashion icon, quintessential party animal and show stopper. Kate Moss is no doubt one of the hottest women on the planet and her antics always ensure premium media space.
The supermodel Kate Moss was caught snorting cocaine by Daily Mirror photographers. Immediately after the news broke several of her biggest clients, H&M, Burberry, and Chanel, dropped her so fast that it would make any person's head spin. Only cosmetic giant Rimmel, has come out in support of the model, praising the star for issuing an apology immediately after the allegations came to light.
Despite Moss's model contracting losses, she has received a surprise vote of confidence from the poker world. According to a recent article in the Brand Republican, Moss has been offered £5 million to represent poker site Nine.com.
The five-year contract comes with several restrictions that include a brief period in rehab and two months of monitoring by the company's headquarters in Costa Rica, so the company can make sure she isn't taking drugs. Moss will also have to participate in a Nine.com anti-drug campaign aimed at students.
According to Nine.com spokesperson Jack Abrams, Moss is a good fit for the gaming site. "We did a quick focus group with some customers to see if they would be offended in any way and the response was overwhelming," he said.
Whether it is simply for marketing purposes or an honest attempt to help someone get off of drugs, Nine.com's offer is not something the public should disregard. If something like this had been offered to an American sports legend, for example, let's say Dwight Gooden, early intervention might have saved his career.

In 1988, at age 14, she went on a family holiday to the Bahamas. Whilst waiting for her return flight to the UK at JFK Airport, New York City, she was discovered by Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm Model Agency. The rest, as they say, is history.
It was however, in somewhat of an antithesis to the other’s glowing healthy looks and towering frames, that Moss spawned a resurgence of the ‘waif look’, a la Twiggy in the 1960s. Like Twiggy Moss is skinny and is also much shorter than the other supermodels.

It all began with her first cover shoot for British magazine “The Face” in 1997, which evoked much public conjecture over her skinniness.
Further controversy followed Moss as she posed scantily clad for Calvin Klein underwear adverts, and then posed nude for an advert for Calvin Klein perfume, ‘Obsession’.

She was criticised for giving further endorsement to the controversial 1990s ‘heroin chic’ look, which many people thought dangerous and unnecessary to glamorise in the world of fashion, already notorious for its drug culture.
