Kate Moss sculpture is pure gold

A solid gold statue of supermodel Kate Moss is to go on display at the British Museum.
The sculpture, valued at $2.8 million, has been crafted by artist Marc Quinn.

Tipping the scales at 110 pounds, it is believed to be the largest gold statue built since the time of ancient Egypt.
Quinn says he chose Moss because she was the closest model to human perfection he could find.
He adds: “I thought the next thing to do would be to make a sculpture of the person who is the ideal beauty of the moment. But even Kate Moss doesn’t live up to the image.”
The Moss statue will be exhibited at the British Museum in October.

She is awful. WHY would they pick her. And NO she is not the ideal beauty, she is boring, plain and a drug user -> therefore also a lousy mother! She desserves NONE of this!
Melt it down! 2.8 million could be better spent in so many other ways. SHAME!
