think kate moss is naughty? meet uschi obermaier

Eightmiles

Kate Moss gets a bad rap. Sure, she may set the bar for wild-child style in these staid times, but Moss has got a lot of nada on Uschi Obermaier. The sexually adventurous German supermodel came to fame while living at the Berlin commune that seeded the Baader-Meinhof gang, spent the better part of the sevenites hopping between Mick’s bed and Keith’s as a member of the Rolling Stones groupie scene, and then turned down a star-making movie contract with Carlo Ponti in order to travel the third world in a customized bus with the self-promoting, brothel-owning, semi-unhinged love of her life. Now Obermaier is the subject of “Eight Miles High,” a bullet-point biopic that goes into limited release today. Suitably stunning newcomer Natalia Avelon plays Obermaier, often in the nude, and you can see why she gave Pallenberg a run for the money. Better yet, when Avelon is dressed, you can see why brands such as Gucci and Chloé decided to resuscitate radical rock ‘n’ roll chic for Fall: Uschi Obermaier may have been a bad, bad girl, but she looked damn good.
