Let me begin by saying that I’m damn sympathetic to what celebrities and models go through, always being on the end of a long-range, up close and personal camera lens. The crowd watching Kate Moss on the Louis Vuitton catwalk last week probably didn’t get such a royal view of her bum.

The Daily Mail is super critical of these body image flaws, down to the veins in Madonna’s hands. Nevertheless, this article — while too bad for Kate Moss — gives encouragement to older women who take up squats and lunges. They are a pain in the royal ass, because I do them.

As you probably surmised, Kate’s bum is the one in the iddle, and most women would be happy to have it. This is normal aging and hardly makes Kate any less desirable, now that we’ve seen her backside up close and personal.

Daily Mail’s Femail asked other women aged between 26 and 56 to recreate 37-year-old Kate’s provocative pose and to share their secrets of a shapely derriere.  You can see the younger women online.
