At my job on Thursday, they were using these (pictured) references to get a ‘feel’ for the shoot that they wanted to create – many magazines do this so that the team can understand visually how something is intended to look. (Sometimes it’s just straight copying – but don’t spread that about!)

Imagine my surprise then, when these tear-sheets were handed out – that’s me, circa 2003, pretending to be in the sixties! And there I was, a whole seven years later, doing it all over again; the pram, the baby, the bouffy blonde hair…

Funny how these things happen! It’s Elle magazine by the way – August or September 2003.
