I’d love to have looked like Joan Collins in her younger days. Although at nearly 90
she still looks fantastic!

Agree absolutely.i was always a real plain verging on the awful looking child .skinny pale dishwater short hair that stuck up/out/everywhere but straight. A gawky looking tweenie, (gawd knows how today's 12 year olds look like modells?!) And non descript in every way. Then I discovered makeup.and found that I suited the off beat the quirky and the downright "odd" as I was described! My personality was always a bit manic so I could make folk howl with jokes and comments. Then in my teens/early 20s I took on my own style, I've remained quirky but always always well put together, not high end but thoughful dressing etc. I LEARNED to make the best of what I had which was nothing like anyone else's!! Results being I'm acknowledged as always smart unusual and we'll turned out-and dead funny! Why copy? The original is always best!

When I was young my colleagues at work called me Lucy they said I was just like Lucille Ball.

When in my teens I was asked for my autograph at a train station, as Mary Hopkins. Later I often plaited my long natural blonde hair, swinging it around my head and was likened to Grace Kelly. Now look more like the bag lady. I could never see the attraction of Audrey Hepburn….a bit like a boy. Sophia Loren was very womanly.
