To be precise a simple purple or pink pincushion that I could wear on my wrist.

If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Film theory or theatrical make up would be top of the list

What’s your style? (elegant, traditional, glamourous, girly, natural, sporty, outgoing, etc.)

Mmmmm probably better ask people around me - oops you cant. Fluffily elegant in a non conventional way. One of my favourite items of clothing is a pink fluffy jacket for winter time, really like shrugs and platform shoes

Not that I am aware of.
