What’s
your mobile phone?
Orange
Pay as You Go. I’m not in the UK for more than half the
year so an annual contract is not worthwhile.
What
is your signature scent?
I
keep coming back to Samsara but have currently been toying
between Fracas by Robert Piquet and Cartier’s So Pretty.
What
brand of underwear do you favour?
Rigby
and Peller - they do what they claim to.
What
sheets are on your bed?
White,
100 per cent Egyptian cotton.
What
car do you drive?
A
cream Mercedes 380 SLC with a tan leather interior. She’s
beautiful. She’s getting old and a bit grumpy but I love
her. When I was 20 I saw a woman driving one and I said when I
am 40 I will drive that car and have my hair done once a week.
So I did and I do.
Favourite
Champagne?
I’ll
have a cocktail that has a great deal of fresh fruit juice in
it. I don’t get the point of giving myself a headache and
that’s all alcohol does to me.
Brand
of coffee?
I’m
a Starbucks girl - double tall low-fat latte with a bit of
chocolate on top.
Which
magazine is always on your coffee table?
Royal
Academy of Arts magazine.
Stereo
or iPod?
I
have hearing in my left ear only, so I hear in mono. But I’m
very keen on this iPod thing.
Cubic
zirconium or diamonds?
My
favourite piece of jewellery is a gold armlet from South
America. I’ve had so many jewellery thefts that I try not
to give objects too much importance.
Superdrug
or Estée Lauder?
I
use mainly Chanel, Clarins and La Prairie and whenever I buy
stuff I ask for samples for my weekend washbag.
What
is your favourite piece of furniture?
My
little round oak dining table because it belonged to my parents.
What
item do you wish you had never bought?
A
rather flash pair of skis that were far too long and advanced
for me. Or maybe it was the boat I bought the day before people
I knew with the same one were capsized by sharks and killed. It
put me off the whole going out past the surf and plankton thing.
Favourite
nick-nack?
My
digital camera and printer are such fun.
What
is your favourite labour-saving device?
My
hairdresser.
