Owning The Term "International"

This is one of the only times you're going to see the words "model" and "mastermind" in the same story, let alone sentence.

Simone Farrow, who I'm told is an international model, was accused of being the mastermind of a worldwide drug ring being run out of a Hollywood apartment. Under the stage name Simone Starr, Farrow was a bikini model for Ed Hardy, pin-up girl, a Penthouse magazine pet, and a three time FHM magazine's Sexiest Women In The World list maker. Her website notes her as a singer/songwriter and would-be reality show star, but made no mention of the 19 different aliases used to ship high-grade crystal meth in bath salts around the world by FedEx and the postal service.

The 37-year-old skipped her $150,000 bond in February and was re-arrested at a cheap Gold Coast hotel where she hid. One of the members of her alleged drug syndicate committed suicide in a Hollywood motel after being contacted by US authorities.  Must have been a hell of a phone call to drive them to suicide.

I'm not going to suggest that she wasn't behind the drug ring, but it would make the first time anybody wearing Ed Hardy showed signs of intelligence.
