Listen Up, Peaches Geldof

30 Mar

(I want to start the letter with Dear but it seems too formal for someone so… not formal?)

You there, with the tats,

Listen. I totally get that your mother died and that your life in the glare of the media spotlight has been worlds apart from the lives lived by most teenagers, but really. You’d  think your mother’s death from a heroin overdose would be warning enough to keep away from drugs?

From butter wouldn’t melt…

I never really thought you were the ideal person for a lingerie campaign, not least because of all those tattoos (like, who wants to see a girl all-but-naked covered in mini-cartoons? Not me). But now that those absolutely minging photos of you are online for the world to see, I think it was the right decision for Ultimo to axe you as their face and body. 

My 16 year old sister sees and hears things about you frequently I’d imagine, and I’d be less than comfortable with her being influenced by someone as obviously self-destructive as you. 

….to head melted from (supposed) taking heroin

A bit of maturing and a good slap on the arse from your Dad and you might make a recovery and lead a normal adult life. Otherwise, if you keep on at this destructive path, it might be history repeating itself, which would be a huge tragedy.

Cop on,
