| | The concept of 'supermodels' is one inimical to a rational, [[conservative]] society, as it implies fame, adulation and huge wealth based solely on physical appearance, with no discernible talent required. Supermodels are put forward as [[role model]]s for young girls, yet they lead an unhealthy life, in both physical and moral terms. Model agencies encourage their young and vulnerable clients to adopt unhealthy diets ([[anorexia nervosa]] and similar conditions are rife). Very many supermodels embody the worst of [[Hollywood values]]: arrogance, self-obsession, vanity, promiscuity, drug abuse, and belief that they are above the law. Among the most notorious examples are the drug-abuser [[Kate Moss]] (known as 'Cocaine Kate'), and the violent convicted criminal [[Naomi Campbell]]. | | The concept of 'supermodels' is one inimical to a rational, [[conservative]] society, as it implies fame, adulation and huge wealth based solely on physical appearance, with no discernible talent required.
