Looks kinda spectral to me. You're sure this wasn't a shoot for Fortean Times?

Not a disaster. Kate Moss is dating The Hand from "The Adams Family". Apparently he's pretty good in bed.

Nancy said...

Oh look, its fashionista Fingers from the Adams Family with Kate Moss.

Sarah Robins said...

kgvs72 said...

That's her cocaine hand.

Justin said...

Can someone lend me a hand?

Riot said...

Nonsense, that's obviously her own hand. I can do that with my hand right now. Oh wait...

Rajaat99 said...

It's part of her dress. It's a new look were people sew body parts to the outside of their clothing.

Dalrick said...

Anyone remember when Kate Moss was known for being a good looking girl? She looks like a middle-aged woman! (Almost like Martha Stewart, IMO.)

Who were the other Hot Tories in the feature?

"Who were the other Hot Tories in the feature?"

I think its cutting out the 'S', making it "Hot Stories".

Isha said...

She's in her mid 30's (not old but old in modeling years.) I'm amazed they didn't smooth out her face to a porcelain like texture since they spent so much time cloning out the guy.

Every time I see something like this, the first line that pops into my head is, "HI! I'm Dr. Nick!"

I've said it before and I'll say it again :

The new fashion must-have for 2009 - the "Hand Epaulette"

It's that waster Pete Doherty hanging of her shoulder as he snorts cocaine from betwixt her buttocks.

Zen Wizard said...

The Thing from the Addams Family would actually probably be a good boyfriend--he would never burp or ask you to go get him a beer.

I can't see how he would ever "just sit around in a wifebeater, scratching himself," either.

The toilet seat would be just as you left it, and I don't see a "shaving hairs on the sink" argument in the horizon.

And how could your dad "not like" him??

The Mushroom said...

Other than the rrridges on the hedges, I think they did a really great job rebuilding the scenery. Now, why they flaked out on that hand and left it there -- a fix even I could have done, but the background would have been not-so-great -- eludes me.

Give that lady a hand! woooo!
verification word: fingui *spooky*

unMuse said...

my god they didn't even try.... sighs.

Garett said...

The bigger issue I have is: THAT'S Kate Moss? What the hell happened to her? She looks like Judi Dench.

HeroForge said...

I wish I'd seen this when it was posted. I've got to say the best part is the rant underneath. "Sausage reduction protocol", indeed. Nearly snorted milk out of my nose.

nsa said...

oh my! i see ghost's hand

Deborah said...

Comparing Kate Moss to Judi Dench is an insult to Ms. Dench and unfair to Ms. Moss.

widgetrock said...

You don't get it guys: it's a new fashion trend where jackets and all sorts of tops come with stitched hands on the shoulders
