Favourites

Fruit: The forbidden kind.

Colour: All shades of pink… That sounds so scarily Barbara Cartland! Let’s just say black…when in doubt, wear black!

Holiday Spot: I don’t holiday. Life is a holiday if you choose it to be so.

Actress: Bette Davis…and don’t say “who?”

Film: All About Eve

Television Show: The News

Writer: Mervyn Peake

Film: Mascara…an obscure French/English/American co-production, but quite stunning!

Song: Losing my Mind from Stephen Sondheim’s musical Follies.

Restaurant: Anywhere where you are allowed to smoke at the best table.

Designer: Anyone who can make my legs look longer, my bust seem fuller, and my age a mystery. Karl Lagerfeld is divine, so anything from Chanel would be considered. Not to mention local boys JJ Schoeman and Derek of De-Patri who produced outfits for Below the Belt.

City: Today Johannesburg, tomorrow Amsterdam, next week Rio, who knows…
