Great feature Jo. It really was "a different time" I remember when I was Fashion Ed at Take a Break in 2004 we ran a reader competition to find Miss Take a Break who we then sponsored to enter Miss England, our winner was Danielle Lloyd who if I remember rightly was a teenager in an abusive relationship and the competition was her door to a different life. She won (but was then stripped of her title for posing for Playboy!) Not quite as glamorous as your story, the finals were in Hammersmith, but I remember the time with the same mix of nostalgia and discomfort!
What an interesting experience to be a part of, and to read about so many years after the fact. It's a shame the Forsythe's didn't remember you, but you'll always have the shot glasses 🍹

Love that story, can’t wait to drink from those shot glasses…
