Following my earlier post about Kate Moss giving birth, some have asked why is the newborn called Lola. Several possible answers came to mind:
1. Kate and Jefferson liked the German cult film Run Lola Run!.
2. There are no known models called Lola.
3. A clear message to Fleet Street, the name is the acronym of Leave Our Love Alone .
4. It is an homage from Jefferson to Lola Corwin, the better half of the Playboy twins Lola and Morena Cornwin.
5. It is an homage from Kate to The Sopranos' actor Lola Glaudini.
6. Lola is the name of model Lou Doillon's sister. Doillon's half-sister, French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, starred in the French cult movie Felix et Lola. Charlotte's father, Serge, had a song hit called Pauvre Lola.
7. It's a deformation of the name Leulla Bartley, Kate's favorite label.
8. In her first ed for Dazed and Confused, where she has first met Jefferson, Kate has been sprayed with paint motifs vaguely forming the word "lola".
9. Lo-la means in Hebrew "not her style".
10. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS: Lola is the name of a portuguese saint, protector of Rio Pomba, that was paralyzed since age 23 due to a rare disease provoked by Anorexia Nervosa in his youth. Following his death, the saint is now the emblem of groups militating against the current fashion standards of the ideal body.
About the pic: Just in time for the happy news, rev. scanned this stunning portrait of Kate by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. It appeared last week in the autumn issue of POP. You're not going to see again Kate with breasts like those for some time. I've put the large version here (heavy file)
