My name is Blondina, and I am a model, welcome to the first instalment of my blog! The first thing you need to know about me is that I am a huge Vivienne Westwood fan. I have been a follower of 'The Dame' since I first made the pilgrimage to ‘World's End’, way back in the day when that was the only shop she had!
Oh yes I remember ‘punk rock’, the Pirate Collection, Rocking Horse shoes ,Harlequin and Columbine, Buffalo Girls, Sarah Stockbridge (my favourite model ever), The mini-crini, “Don’t you ever kiss me once kiss me twice”, Harris tweed, the man who forgot his trousers, and even the dame who forgot her pants at the palace!
Now I know I don’t look old enough to go that far back, let’s just say that good genes run in my family, and any way what’s lacking in nature can always be made up for with a good plastic surgeon! So age aside here I am, at the peak of my career now working as the Platinum Blonde showroom dummy; and I have to tell you it’s a job I love, for I am in Vivienne Westwood heaven! I spend all day surrounded by gorgeous Vivienne Westwood accessories, handbags with specially picked matching purses. The costume jewellery is to die for and there are delicious scarves made of silks, wool and fine linens, to wraparound my delicate neck; and now we have added Vivienne Westwood ‘Melissa’ shoes to our collection, What girl could ask for anything more?
There is a lot more to being a showroom dummy than one might think; apart from the usual requirements, flawless milky skin, exquisite cheek bones, and thighs to stop a truck, one must also have the ability to sit still for hours on end, gazing out at the high street, looking fabulous and giving the people of Coleshill something to aspire too!
I suppose you could say that I am a bit of a mentor, so I am going to make it my task to guide all you Vivienne Westwood fans towards, what’s in and what’s out?, what’s hot and what’s not?!!!
Lots of Love Blondina x
