I'm A Sucker For Sad

Philately Is Normally A Boys' Hobby But For Some Reason It Was In Vogue At My Junior School. Between The Ages Of Eight And Ten I Collected Avidly. I'd Pore Over My Stanley Gibbons Book, Obsessively Checking My Collection's Value. I Always Hoped I'd Stumble Across A Really Valuable One, A Penny Black Or An Inverted Jenny, But It Wasn't To Be.

On My Wedding Day. I Didn't Want A Natural, Blushing-bride Look - I Had A Full-on Hairdo And Red Lips. I Thought It Would Be Disingenuous To Do The Whole Virginal Look, So Even Though I Had The White Dress, I Had Pink Net Underneath.

Turning The Thermostat Down Is Something That I Do Pretty Reluctantly. I Like To Be Able To Walk Around In Whatever I Fancy At Home.

For Every Person That Says I'm The New Audrey Hepburn, Someone Else Says That I Look Like An Alien.

I'm Really Interested In Fashion But At The Same Time I Find It Quite Competitive. Second-hand Stuff Leaves You More Open To Whatever Your Own Personal Style Is Rather Than Feeling Dictated To By Shops.
