Stanford's own Twiggy

Would you believe it? Yup it's me... My late mother is having a good old giggle. She used to say that I had tree trunk legs and would never be thin. OK, so she was never the type to be full of compliments and some people may feel that her comment was cruel, but I was brought up in a world that said you have to be cruel to be kind. She loved me dearly and never wanted me to suffer from swollen head syndrome. mmm... that's nice! I on the other hand lived my life as a fatalist and I don't recall turning my back on any opportunity. Age has bought with it a smidgen of wisdom and I am now able to assess every opportunity with a view to not diving in head first. She would have been awarde provincial colours for swimming had she not dived into the shallow end of the pool head first. What I am saying, I suppose, is that I have become mature enough to really learn from others' mistakes.
Aah well, here I am, on location at DangerPoint lighthouse, forthe Marks & Spencers Summer Collection shoot!
