You have to hand it to Pete Doherty - he isn't a phony. A lot of famous people try to hide their past and present shadiness but not old Pete, who's up-front about what a complete dirtball he is.
In the new issue of Vogue Hommes International, Pete puts his creepy, shameless ickiness on display for all to see. First off, Pete demonstrates his deadly honesty about his crack-habit - by whipping out his crack-pipe, made out of a miniature Martell Cognac bottle, and showing it to the interviewer. Says Pete about his love-affair with crack:
I always stumble back into it sooner or later, even if it's for a half hour a day.
Oh, you only smoke crack for a half hour a day Pete - well, that's not so bad. As long as you're not one of these total crackheads...
And Mr. Doherty is also not shy about revealing the things he's done to get money for crack. When he was younger, he admits, he used to resort to picking pockets and having sex with old gay men. Says Doherty about his experience with homosexual prostitution:
There was no shame, because I kind of knew they were just lonely pissed-up old queens. And 20 quid was a lot of money!
Hey Pete, I'm a lonely pissed-up old queen, and I wouldn't have sex with you even if you only charged one quid. Jesus Pete, your life is a fricking Paul Morrissey movie. If Joe Dallesandro were twenty-five again he could play you. Well, maybe not - Joe Dallesandro was a hottie. You, you are not a hottie. I'm not sure what you are, besides a wash-out. But hey, I give you credit - you're not a hypocrite. So, have a smoke on me Pete. You've, uh, earned it.
