Strictly Come Star Struck...

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE fan of "Strictly Come Dancing" so imagine my delight at meeting Ian Waite, one of the "Adonis-like" professional dancers.

I have a regular monthly slot on BBC Radio Berkshire where I go into the studio and give comments, advice and top tips on any topical "image" matters.

This month I found myself sitting opposite 6' 4" of male gorgeousness....and I nearly blew it! felt hot, giddy and totally lost my cool. I just hope I didn't scare him too much.

If you would like to hear my incoherent nonsense then you have 7 days to listen again on www.bbc.co.uk/berkshire/local_radio/ on the Sarah Walker show.

I did manage to advise him on which colours to wear...he is a "Vibrant Spring" in case you were wondering...

Too curvy to be dramatic...

My mission statement is "be yourself" and I am passionate about helping women (and men!) to identify their true selves and project this through their personal image.

It really doesn't matter what words you choose to describe your look - edgy, individual, glamorous, classic...its up to you. The point is that one man's "classic" will be another man's "natural"...we all see it differently.

So, I nearly choked on my coffee when hearing the words "you can't be Dramatic...Dramatics are angular and you're too curvy" from another Image Consultant. Says who???? I can be WHOEVER I want to be and that is down to my preference and NOT my bodyshape.

If you would like to find out more about "style personalities" or "style tribes", as I like to call them, then check out my article on "Be Fabulous" at http://www.be-fabulous.co.uk/

My current style icon has to be the gorgeous AND curvy Dita Von Tesse - try telling her that she's the wrong shape to be dramatic!
