Kate Moss! - LOOKS DOESN'T MATTER.

This is an observation!

How a very ordinary people make it very big in their life.

Even though it happens almost every where and every day, it still evokes a kind of surprise when you actually meet that person concerned.

Two weeks back I was in my branch working very hard.

Suddenly I saw a group of photographers outside our branch focusing on the entrance of our branch. It was bit weird and very surreal. These kind of paparazzies we see only in movies or

in TV. But to see them in action right in front of you is very much new to me.

The whole village (My branch is in a very small village in Cotswold-UK!) is also bit confused

as I was and would want to know what is all about.

Then I came to know that the famous model Kate Moss is shopping in our branch, which is a bit of surprising shock to me. Because, I did not see any attractive lady pass by me.

So where is she?

Then I saw a small figure with a shopping basket approaching the counter. She was dressed in a very ordinary jeans and a worn-out sand colour artificial fur coat.

She was wearing a unclean wellington Boots (Pink colour).

Very unimpressive dress.

She did not impresses us at all. In-fact, many of the customers didn't notice her at all.

Actually her assistant was more attractive with a big bubbly smile. She was also wearing a colourful Mexican style tops which is made of thick blanket.

It suited her and the weather.

But Kate Moss.... Sorry.!

She looks very small and ordinary.

She might have passed me, but I would not have given her a second look.

But when she went out through our door the flash lights started hitting her like bullets...

The entire market square has come to a halt. Because there were so many camera persons

with their various vehicles parked in every possible position blocking every traffic.

It is strange.

Kate Moss then hurried to her vehicle (Jeep-Cherokee) and fled away, quickly followed by

the papparizes like a hunting packs.

The whole commotion lasted about 10 seconds.

After wards, this tiny village went back to its traditional silence.

Last week, in the mid afternoon, I saw a young man suddenly appearing before my counter asking for some cigarette papers. I thought that I have seen this man.

Then I remembered. It is Pete Doharty, boy friend of Kate Moss.

Within second Kate Moss was there with him and they started offloading their purchase for billing.

I asked her "How are You"?

She said, she is fine and asked me how I am. It is just a greeting.

In a very close quarters I saw this girl again.

She is not only small figure but also very thin. She has high cheekbones. But very fiery eyes.

She paid and walked away. This time no paparazzi.

But I could not believe that this small person is worth more than $100 millions and last year alone she earned around $ 15 millions. She does not own any big industry.

The fact is that SHE is the product.

AMAZING.

She looks very ordinary and as I said before she will not attract second look on the streets.

But she makes great in front of the camera. She becomes kind of Super Star in the modelling and creates a larger than life image.

How people like her are able to do it?

I was told that even Tom Cruise is also very small built. I don't know.

But I have seen the Great MGR in close quarters when he was in peak condition.

He is small but he had that magical colour and beautiful smile. No body can ignore him any crowd. He is different.

Back to Kate Moss.....How did she do it?

It must be their courage, self confidence and above all the determination to succeed.

I have seen more beautiful and more wonderful girls in England and in other parts of the world.

But it is Kate Moss who has made it to the Super Model grade.

The moral of the story is No matter how bad you look. If you are determined to succeed in

your chosen field, even if it is in Modelling (Which is based on looks!) YOU CAN MAKE IT.

BEST WISHES!

Ravikutty!
