A self-portrait by Kate Moss that was drawn in lipstick is expected to sell for between £30,000 and £40,000 when it is auctioned this week.
We reckon most people would probably reach for a good old-fashioned paintbrush if they were to do a painting, but then, Kate has never been most people.
The 34-year-old beauty has created the painting, which shows a woman's head on a skinny stick-like body with her hair flying around her and smoking a cigarette, from red lipstick.
Kate is said to have done the painting in 2005-2006, when she was dating the troubled rocker Pete Doherty.
The portrait bears Kate's own lip-prints as well as stains of Doherty's blood.
Doherty himself has scrawled the inscription, "Who needs blood when you've got lipstick?" on the artwork.
It all sounds a bit weird to us, but apparently it's going to be worth a lot of dosh.
Robin Barton of the Bankrobber gallery in west London, who sold the canvas to Moss, told the Telegraph: "It was just a cheap canvas from Portobello Road that cost about £15. I don't know of any other paintings she did."
