Honestly,...what is the point of Peaches Geldof?...She brings absolutely NOTHING to any proceedings other than being the daughter of a famous parent. Har father at least can say that he achieved something,...the same (of sorts) could also be said of her late mother - but Peaches, Trixi or Pixie (whatever!), Kelly & Jack Osbourne, Jaime & Alfie Winstone, Lily Allen,...etc....all of them can be summed up in one word - MEDIOCRE!...I pity the the fashion designers that actually allow them to attend their shows - in my estimation they only serve to bring down all the talent and hard work that they've put in to get their collections ready on time for occasions as illustrious as London Fashion Week, as opposed to enhancing it. Peaches & co,...stick to what you do best,...namely...attending the opening of toilets or being pictured falling out of them inebriated!...
