    I had a run-in with her mother, Sophie Hicks, years ago, when we both lived in the same small house in Notting Hill Gate (I wrote about it here: http://slapoftheday.blogspot.co.uk/2007/11/tte-claques-xv.html). From what I hear, like mother, like daughter.

      Ha…I remember reading that when SH had that scent with Crabtree & Evelyn, fun to read it again, thanks!

          I didn’t either until fairly recently, when I read an interview with her. She came across as a horrible entitled brat.

    This short film seems like the street version of the famous Linda Evangelista Opium commercial from the early 80s where she goes into Chinatown with her bodyguards to get her “dose”.
    Back then, it was “The Orient” of course. And you had to have the monkey, the sampans and lanterns and of course the seedy gambling den.
    They traded Linda for a totally crazed chick on speed with bad unwashed hair who is strong enough to venture into an Asian neighborhood by herself.
    Great to see that women are stronger now…
    LOL
