I'm Always Sticking Up For

Yes, Being Educated Is Definitely An Advantage. But Having Said That, I've Met So Many People In Life Who Haven't Done Very Well At School But Who Are Still Really Bright.

In Terms Of Influence, My Style Icons Have Been A Mixture Of Julie Andrews And Olivia Newton-john. When I Was Little I Used To Watch 'grease,' 'mary Poppins' And 'the Sound Of Music' A Lot. If You Put All Those Things Together You Do Kind Of Get My Outfits. A Slightly Tarty Nanny In A Second-hand Outfit. That Is Pretty Much What I Wear.
