As a stylist I sometimes take it for granted how safe and comfortable I am behind the line, getting the beautiful and famous ready for events and shoots before my client steps on to the red carpet. I am fully aware of the dangers: the flashbulbs that make an outfit that is seductively sheer into a see-through disaster; a tiny pimple that becomes a big circle of shame in a celebrity mag. Anyway, with all this knowledge you can imagine the absolute dread that I felt when I found myself in the camera’s eye.
As the friend of the hopelessly gorgeous Lisa Snowdon I had to take part in a shoot for InStyle magazine. There are lengths that a girl must go to for her bezzie…and for me this was above and beyond! There I am on a Tuesday afternoon trying to squeeze into dresses and pose in a hopefully natural, but probably more goonish manner. I cannot divulge the shoot story as it has not been published yet. But let me just say this, dear blog reader, my respect for all those I work with, who have to face the spotlight and camera flash, has increased by a zillion!
