She certainly seems to be going out of her way to signal <i>something</i> - although I seem to recall from nature documentaries, such colouring is usually an indication to stay well clear.<br /><br />Demetrius, on the voluminous nature of her attire, it's highly likely that Quentin Letts was - consciously or unconsciously - alluding to the comment on an earlier 'Mail' article describing her as 'a cross between Demis Roussos and a fruit salad'. Personally, I'm half expecting, rather in the manner of a bad 1970s pantomime, a horde of children to burst out from under the skirts to perform some kind of 'street dance'.<br /><br />It's interesting to note that, should she wish to avoid the public gaze, all she would have to do is don the off-the-peg clothes she has so publicly eschewed, leave off the lipstick and change her glasses and no-one would ever recognize her again - at least as long as she kept her mouth shut.Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565737623121795004.post-70067121209132364802015-10-17T15:08:08.192+01:002015-10-17T15:08:08.192+01:00I'll echo James' comment.
