Karolina’s never-ending affectations

May 23rd, 2006

Supermodel Karolina Kurkova is in trouble with Simon Doonan. The Czech catwalker was reportedly due to present the famously outspoken creative director of Barneys with a Fashion Maverick Award at the American Image Awards in New York last week – but she pulled out at the last moment. And he was taking no prisoners once he got onto the stage of the Hyatt Regency to pick up his gong. “Miss Kurkova was scheduled to present the Fashion Maverick Award to Simon Doonan tonight,” he said, according to PageSix.com. “And, in typical model fashion, she cancelled. Needless to say, this is something she will live to regret… Miss Kurkova pulled out at the last minute. Her excuse? Very interesting. She said she had to dash back to the Ukraine because of ‘an immigration issue’. For those of you who are not in the fashion industry, allow me to explain: When an Eastern European supermodel claims she has to ‘dash home’ because of ‘an immigration issue,’ this can only mean one thing - it means she is heading home to avail herself of some free socialised dentistry - anything for a freebie! These hussies make a fortune, but they can never get used to paying to get their teeth scraped.”
