Smackglam snapshot

I often spend time wondering whether smack (or heroin for all my readers over 50 and I know that's almost all of you) would be a great drug to do/get addicted to you.

A formative experience of my youth wss reading about River Phoenix dying. Some cunt who'd been called on to explain the attraction of a young film star to smack explained it thusly (pretty much): "A lot of people like to go on about how they get high from jogging or shit like that. Well let me tell you, they'd have to jog to the moon to get the kind of high River was on."

And so. I have spent much time since wondering whether, in fact, I should stop fucking around and just get on smack, despite the welter of official propaganda that tries to tell you that, in fact, it's kind of bad for your health. I propose, henceforth, to keep you up to date on my leanings each time I come to contemplate the issue anew, as I did today with this article in the wonderful Mail on Sunday.

This article addresses the plight of Laura McEvoy, who got vague-o famous when top blood poet Pete Doherty was snapped shoving a needle up her armhole.



Laura, according to the Mail, endured a 'nightmare' at the 'court' of 'Pete Doherty' and was doubtless addicted to smack at the end of it, such is the frequency with which she seems to have gone round his house and done 'drugs'. But as you will see from this other picture



She looks pretty good on it.

So, based on this evidence, today's smackglam rating is a septicemiac 7.5 out of 10.
