Cocaine Cara

It’s happening again. Miss Kate Moss has been revamped and reborn into a young Cara Delevigne: the new face of Burberry luxury clothing company and most magazine covers more recently gracing the front of Vogue, Miss Vogue and countless weekly publications with stories of her party lifestyle.

Her most recent headline feature is the 20 year-old Belgravia born model spotted outside her Central London home looking for her keys when out popped a small bag of the white stuff all over the floor. More desperate were Miss Delevigne’s shameless attempts of covering it up.

The emergence of this model has been very quick, for those of you who don’t think you know who I’m talking about, trust me you do. You will undoubtedly of seen her face almost everywhere. Looking at her she clearly was born for the job, statuesque and diverse looking with long shining hair she is a designers dream. Part of her charm is her charm; her funny and tomboyish ways make her interviews and constant Instagram updates very endearing. Her budding friendships with the likes of fellow models Jourdan Dunn, Karlie Kloss and Georgia Jagger not only make up the most beautiful group in the world but they also give the gaunt faces of London Fashion Week a personality and sense of fun which the fashion industry so lacks in. I genuinely commend this girl for these attributes, paparazzi shots of the foursome eating burgers in various exotic locations reassures young girls that these models were simply lucky enough to be graced with the metabolisms of cartoon character and their weight and body shapes cannot be copied.

And yes, young girls have definitely bought into the Cara glamour of late night partying and lighthearted humor, if you go onto her Twitter she is continually communicating with her fan groups that affectionately call themselves “Delevigeners” with Twitter domains such as “@caras_eyebrows” derived from the models famous thick brows. This hive of activity has only ever been seen on the pages of the One Direction or “Belieber” fandoms, proving that Cara has infiltrated the pubescent.

It is these young impressionable minds I fear for. However much Cocaine Delevigne chooses to poison her body with is her look but whatever happens the history books show she will live to walk another runway and star in another ad campaign a la Kate Moss. The Daily Mail and Perez Hilton gossip columns can be accessed with the click of a button and if these kids are internet savvy enough to create a twitter account heaping praise on their favorite idol I’m sure they are reading the gossip columns.

Cocaine isn’t funny, it’s not fun and it’s not glamorous. It’s destroying, it’s threatening and it should not be encouraged or even printed about. The pictures of Delevigne’s incident with the Class A drug should not have been published, the Cheshire Cat “I’ve been caught” guilty grin should never have been put on the front of our newspapers. The wealth of young models like Moss and Delevigne will help to rehabilitate themselves should the issue ever become so serious, however some young men and women out there are beyond help and chained by the experience of “sex, drugs and rock and roll” there lives are a sad picture of crime, homelessness and desperation. Lets not encourage the affliction on to other youngsters. Last time I checked a walk in the park, a picnic with friends and a nice meal out left me going to bed at 11 0’clock well rested and happy. My job and family gave me enough satisfaction to wake up in the morning. Where did this message get lost for young girls and boys?
