Is Kate Moss too old to model makeup?
editor
Say what you will about Kate Moss (and obviously you could say a lot), she's still, technically speaking, a good model. And if I've learned anything from my many,many hours of watching
America's Next Top Model, being a good model is not something that, you know, comes naturally to just anyone. And perhaps KM's getting a little more airbrushing these days, but she can still sell the bejeezus out of a mascara or a trench or some ridiculous expensive earrings and I still have an irrational inclination to buy all the crap she's selling, even though I don't need it. Ultimately, this seems like a mark of true advertising success.
So, what up Rimmel?
Rumors are swirling that the cosmetics company wants to dump Moss because she's too old and get a younger model to represent the brand (rumors also say this younger model could be Agyness Deyn, and well, you all can guess how I feel about that). Kate's 34 years-old, totally ancient in model years, I know. But is she irrelevant? Putting aside the drugs, Pete Doherty and semi-bad new
Top Shop collection, is 34 too old to represent a youth-oriented makeup line? Even if you're a style icon? If it is, it makes me very sad. [Source:
