I remember that dress -she looks a knockout in it - pint-sized she may be but she is a concentrate of energy, fun and sexiness, with a great voice even if the songs aren't my genre! Did you get "done" for assault? 
I do know who Ms Campbell is -her mother is more beautiful than she is. She had a rather well-pubblicised affair with a certain Italian Millionaire -a Mr Briatore who has a very famous night-club on the Costa Smeralda for VIP's only called The Millionaire.
My favourite British actress was the lovely Natasha Richardson -a real English rose. I have Video of a very early Colin Firth, Ken Brannagh film called A Month in The Country which she is in, set after the Great War in Yorkshire. It's a must see if you don't know it, based on a brilliant book by J.L. Carr whih i can also recommend if you've never read it.
Lessons at school were not as interesting as my Trivia course with you |
Julien and I met on holiday.
I actually introduced him into to my glittering circle, at the time.
As he was then relatively unknown, and had just finished working for Chanel, and was just about to set up his own label.
He reminded me of a little, sparkly Ruth Madoc.
Most people know him today as the bitchy head judge, on Britain's Next Model.
He's not bitchy in real life.
I just taught him well.
Today's missing trivia titbit.
John Major, Prime Minister after Thatcher was ousted, until 1997.
Known as the grey man of politics.
Portrayed by political commentators as being the sort to have his vest tucked into his Y-fronts.
Born Brixton. Family were circus performers, and then garden gnome manufacturers.
Wife Norma - wrote biography about Dame Joan Sutherland.
Major famously had an affair, brought to light after his term as P.M., with Edwina Curry - known as Eggwina, as she was Health Minister in 1988, and caused outrage, claiming British eggs were all infected with salmonella.
Major's son James was briefly married to glamour model Emma Noble.
Can I please have a little moan now?
About the plethora of middle of the road, crappy American music in today's quiz.
Thank you.
