She was the supermodel for whom the term 'waif' was coined but, despite being built like a stick insect, it seems Kate Moss is more than happy with her skinny physique.
So much so, that I hear Kate, who was once heavily criticised for encouraging the so-called heroin-chic craze, has given it a new name: "rexy"

Rexy: The term thin Kate uses to describe herself
The word - a cross between anorexic and sexy - is currently being used by Kate, 33, and her Primrose Hill friends and apparently describes this season's must-have look.
Worryingly, in an attempt to make sure Kate and her friends are as "rexy" as possible, the model is drinking a diet of hot water and green leaves to help her to detox and stay slim.
"Rexy" is a word that Kate and her friends have made up. It is a hybrid of the words anorexic and sexy,says my decidedly rexy and well-placed source.

Waif: Kate's recent weight loss is blamed on the stress of splitting from Pete Doherty
Actually, I would say Kate was the one who was more naturally thin and the others try to be like her.
For Kate, Pete Doherty is also the ultimate in rexy "very lanky and skinny but sexy".

Kate, who began her modelling career at 14, is frequently cited in the Size Zero debate but she has always insisted she is naturally thin.
Speaking about her figure, she once said: "It is flattering that other women want to look like me.
"There are lots of people I'dlike to look like, too, but I'm fed up with all the scandal about my weight. I'm just skinny, that's all."

Thin Kate has said she is happy with her look
Friends say the model's recent weight loss is down to her split from Babyshambles frontman Doherty.
"Kate is very upset and missing Pete so much she is completely off her food and at an all-time low", said a friend. "She has certainly lost a few pounds recently."
Skinny plus sexy makes me so 'Rexy' says Moss | the Daily Mail=
