I know, I know. It’s Friday, and you’re at work, and time seems to be standing still. And the guy you banged after Happy Hour on Tuesday who said he’d take you out tonight still hasn’t called. And you realize just how much weight you’re putting on when the button on your work pants pops out. And your boss is in one of his moods, and your mom keeps calling to talk about how her cat has ringworm, and your office crush won’t shut up about the new girl he’s dating, and your nail broke, and you forgot to bring an extra tampon to work, and someone ate your yogurt out of the fridge, and you just can’t imagine how today could get any worse. But think on the bright side: at least Parisian authorities didn’t pull your decomposed corpse out of the Seine today.
The body of supermodel Katoucha Niane was pulled out of the river in Paris today. Niane has been missing since January. She was assumed to have accidentally fallen off of her houseboat after a night of drinking and partying.
Her career highlights included walking for Thierry Mugler, Paco Rabanne, Lacroix and serving as a muse to Yves Saint Laurent himself.
RIP, kiddo.
So sad.
Oh Beet, you seem really broken up about this. What a way to go out, fallin off your houseboat, totally shit faced. Be grateful for your shitty jobs people. Ha
Beet, you soo described my day today, almost forgot about the poor dead woman found.
Luv ya

A much better version of that story. Uh, I mean a more detailed and compelling account. Same sad ending. Though the Telegraph account reads like a mystery novel.
So, you described my day too, Beet. Minus the (girl) that I banged after happy hour. Come to think of it, a lot of those details don’t fit me, but I feel a similar vibe.
And I’m inexplicably grateful that I don’t own a houseboat.
I’d be more worried about dropping my keys between the slats on the pier. But at least when I drag my drunk-ass home, I don’t have to worry about falling in the river. Yay, urban living!!!!
she looks tranny-ish in that pic…that being said, it’s terribly sad that this happened.
so sad, what a sad ending.
Wow… that thing that she calls hair on top of her hair… is more like a huge ball of straight up diaster!
Wrong picture!!! That is NOT Katoucha; the nose tells it all.
Google “images” for the real Katoucha.
RIP Katoucha.
she rotted in the seine 28 days and was a decomposed mess when found bobbing face down buttocks up
