Nature or nurture?

Well, I took no photos of New Year. The paparazzi were talented and in profusion. However, trawling through the family archives for publicity purposes, I came across this little gem. It sums up most social occasions of my life and set a precedent for this New Year as many before. Everyone else minding their own business, drinking tea. Lady V, naked, grinning inanely and raising a glass.

Ten years later,aged fifteen, sober as a judge and getting on with the serious business of Creating the Masterpiece. Doctor Marten boots and striped blazer. Brideshead Revisited meets the Cubbyhole.

Never let it be said that I am not consistent.
