Why is it that those who seem to have the most going for them are the ones throwing it all away? The rash of super model deaths lately is nothing short of astounding. What makes it tragic though is that most of them self destructed. They were young and full of promise. Rising stars.
Ruslana Korshunova fell to her death from a balcony high above the pavement that killed her.
The Irish beauty Katy French was living a glamorous life modeling. She was found dead of a drug overdose.
A fashion pioneer - the first African super model Katoucha Niane died after coming home from a party. Her body was found in the River Seine in France.
It wasn’t that long ago Anna Nicole committed suicide either.
All of these women were models who had money, fame and the profile that comes with it. They seemed to have it all, but it wasn’t enough. What more could they have wanted? What was missing that the tabloids and magazine covers weren’t showing us?
I’ve heard it said that having too much money gives a person too much time to think about themselves. Too much introspection, too few personal demands, and too much self indulgence all lead to trouble. It just got announced that the stunning Ruslana simply felt alone.
Take a moment and remember those who left too early. Try and help those you know who might be headed down the same path.

This level of personalisation extends to music choices.'’
