Growing up, I had an insane crush on Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys..

I'm bad at rationalisation - very bad..

How awful to be a perfect beauty! How confusing! God. Can you imagine?.

I enjoy travelling the world, but nowhere beats Walsall..

I am concerned about ageism and the loss of beauty - the perception that as you grow older, you 'lose your looks,' which I think is diabolical..

I am selective. If I do splash out, it's an investment, and I wear things for years..

I lead a very busy life and don't have a lot of time, so my skincare needs to be easy and portable..

I'm like a tourist when I'm in London..
