Supermodel Kate Moss has got famous street artist Bambi to make a portrait of herself similar to the iconic actress Marilyn Monroe's painting by Andy Warhol. Moss, 39, has splashed 50,000 pounds on the oil painting, which shows her with bright red lips, reported Daily Star online. "It's one of the best paintings she's ever done. It's a take on Warhol's iconic Marilyn and I don't comment on prices but, yes, it's a five-figure sum," Moss's agent Leonard Villa said. "Kate's been wanting to commission a Bambi special for months. She plans to hang it in pride of place in her Cotswolds farmhouse. Kate's country pile has a lot more space than her north London home and she has a room full of art," a source said. Monroe's painting was made by Warhol in the 1960s.
