STOP PRESS! LONDON FASHION WEEK was amazing this year with hundreds of shows at SOMERSET HOUSE and THE FREEMASONS' HALL.
My fave show was the glam OLGA ROH's ROHMIR collection. There was something for everyone in this one - from eminently wearable day dresses and trouser suits to sophisticated evening frocks to outrageous feathery party creations. Here's some pix from the show by DILIP - some of my favourite outfits, the divine OLGA herself and the adorable PAULINE COLLINS whose current film QUARTET, directed by the brilliant DUSTIN HOFFMAN is cleaning up at the Box Office.

COVER PIC
Our Cover girl this issue, supporting AGAINST BREAST CANCER, is the aptly named FABIA CERRA, the outrageous Burlesque dancer who 'lit up' BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT 2009 with her swirly wirly flashing tassels.
Fab FABIA not only performs burlesque but also teaches the fine art and works for SHARON KAY at BURLESQUE BABY in Oxford, hosting Burlesque Hen Parties amongst other events. Here she is with some of her Burly Babies!
Do get in touch if you fancy burlesquing, as my dear actress pal EVA GREY did - she loves it and has never looked back. EVA's delightful celebrity agent hubby (who just happens to be my agent!) ROB GROVES also approves!
Here's another pic of FABIA in action with a stunning fan (and I do not mean a keen young man!)

The philanthropic FABIA also works voluntarily for AGAINST BREAST CANCER. ABC is an extremely important and valuable charity founded by DR ANTHONY LEATHAM and his wife PATRICIA and is in fact this wonderful couple's personal crusade to search for a future free of breast cancer.
ABC funds pioneering research by expert clinical scientists at the University of Westminster in London. They use the University's exceptional collection of breast tissue and patient samples to identify markers that can detect the re-appearance of breast cancer in women already treated for this illness
Their research examines the link between the tumour, the woman's response to the tumour and the environment around her.
ABC's Patrons include the one and only SIMON COWELL, his mum JULIE who happily survived the disease and SUZANNE DANDO.

To the fabulous DEE DEE WILDE, whose actor son ALEXANDER is in ZERO DARK THIRTY, the BAFTA and OSCAR nominated new film about the capture of OSAMA BIN LADEN. Read on:
NEWS RELEASE
Alexander Corbet Burcher , son of Dee Dee Wilde (Pan's People 70's tv dance group) is appearing in the new Kate Bigelow film ,
ZERO DARK THIRTY
Alex Corbet Burcher who served as a Captain in the Welsh Guards, did three tours in Irag and Afghanistan. In the latter he served under Colonel Rupert Thorneloe in the very difficult 'Panther Claw' Campaign. Unfortunately Colonel Thornelow lost his life on that tour.
A little while later, Alex left the army and has now started a career as an actor. Following in his mother's footsteps so to speak!
Last year, the Director Kate Bigelow of 'Hurt Locker' fame was in a pub with a fellow officer of Alex's and when she mentioned she was looking for real soldiers to play American Navy Seals in her new film ZERO DARK THIRTY, the manhunt for Osama Bin Laden, Alex was suggested. He soon found himself filming in Jordan for 8 weeks.
It's a gripping film, as is the superthriller ARGO, my personal favourite this BAFTA season, although the other contenders, ZERO, LINCOLN, LES MIS and LIFE OF PI are all sensational. I am a BAFTA Voter and found it really hard to vote for just one this time - an excellent season for 'de fillums'!

The glam DR ANNA, LADY BROCKLEBANK had auctioned the dinner with the help of the equally glam INGRID TARRANT and the girls managed to flog me to kind city man PADDY EVERSHED, couture designer RACHEL ELBAZ and themselves! Loadsamoney was made for the charity and we all had a wonderful dins at AVISTA (www.avista.com), joined by PADDY's lovely wife SHEENA and the equally lovely CHARLOTTE ELLIS. AVISTA has a very welcoming atmosphere and the food, drinks and service were all first class. Here's a pic:

THE GREYHOUND OF THE YEAR AWARDS in aid of THE RETIRED GREYHOUNDS' TRUST was a lively affair at THE LANCASTER HOTEL (no woof woof and barking comments, please!) I was invited by lovely TV star DEBBIE ARNOLD and her gorg daughter TALIA JANSEN and had a ball with my pal MIKE COOPER. DEBBIE sat me next to the Chairman, Trustee MAURICE WATKINS, a dynamic entrepreneur who supports various charities and I loved watching all the doggy racing vids. The winning doggy was of course a blonde!!
Seriously though, here's some bumf about this worthy cause:
'By way of background, the Retired Greyhound Trust believes passionately that every greyhound deserves a long and happy retirement after racing. Often they retire quite young at around four or five years of age, and then undergo a remarkably quick transformation from supreme canine athlete to docile, loving and quite lazy family pet! We work hard to find around 4,000 homes each year and do this through our 70 branches across Britain that are run by some of the most dedicated volunteers I have ever met. Of course a homing effort on this scale costs money, and we have to raise £3.6m each year to fund the kennelling, veterinary and promotional costs involved. We receive wonderful support from a great many organisations, including GBGB, SKY and the bookmakers, and from our database of 60,000 greyhound lovers.'
Supporters include the lovely TWIGGY. www.retiredgreyhounds.co.uk
The gorg frock I wore for this event was a fab warm and longsleeved but clingy and sexy LBD by JILL HARVEY AT MEDICI (www.medicigroup.com), whom I had been introduced to by fashion guru VIVIEN KING-LAWLESS. The dress was perfect for the cold UK weather and for covering my recent lumpectomy and 'lymphectomy' scars, and here it is:

OBITUARY
The world will miss the unforgettable MICHAEL WINNER, 'OBE Rejected' who died in January aged 77.
Blockbuster film director, restaurant critic, commercials star, bon viveur and straight talker, MR WINNER was truly memorable. He certainly made some of those posh chefs quake in their boots!
I did not know him well (no, I was not a girlfriend!) but he was always quite charming to me, whether auditioning me, admiring my diamonds or telling me not to eat too much popcorn. What he went through after being poisoned by a bad oyster in Barbados, nearly losing his leg and having 10 operations in 3 months is truly inspirational.
MICHAEL will be sorely missed. Sincere condolences to his beautiful wife GERALDINE and all his nearest and dearest.

Sincere condolences too to my dear friend PRINCESS KATARINA OF YUGOSLAVIA, featured in last month's issue, for the loss of her mother PRINCESS MARGRITA OF BADEN in January. Also to KATARINA's lovely daughter VICTORIA for the loss of her grandmother.

BEST RESTAURANTS
FORMAN'S RESTAURANT
Being a 'pescetarian' it was an absolute pleasure to visit FORMANS restaurant. They thrive oN having 'the best salmon in the world' so I was thoroughly looking forward to their 6 course salmon tasting evening! Based in the heart of London's East End and situated opposite the Olympic Stadium, the building is architecturally designed to resemble a carne of salmon! The building actually consists of a gallery (where they exhibit the work of local artists), the restaurant and the salmon factory where they fillet, cure, smoke, hand-carve and sell from directly.
We were greeted with two types of bellinis; the fruity champagne kind and the appetiser kind. FORMANS introduced us to the dinner with silky salmon on soft bread,creme-fraiche and fresh capers. This amuse-buche prepared us for the rest of the menu.
We then went through to the dining room where we were seated next to the window with a glorious view of the Olympic Stadium. Each course was to be accompanied by a different drink, including elderflower vodka, pinot noir and lager - re-fermented with champagne yeast. The first course was cured scottish salmon in 3 different flavours: gin and tonic, wasabi and mojito (the latter being my preferred one.)
Next was a salmon ravioli dish, which had a soft fillet of salmon with a beautiful salmon ravioli piece surrounded by salmon roe and shallots. The waitress delicately poured the warm broth into the bowl once we had been served.The next course I enjoyed very much as it was very light: salmon tartar. It refreshed the palate with its lemon and cucumber garnish.
Following this we were served salmon sausage with truffle mash and butter sauce. The sausage was thick and the delicate salmon filling contrasted nicely with its crisp case. The mash was fluffy and subtly flavoured with truffle but, along with a butter sauce, this course was quite heavy - it could actually have been reduced in size, as we still had another course to follow! This was: a cépe encrusted hot smoked salmon served on a bed of risotto with mushroom and cheese sauces. The salmon was delightful: very moist and fresh with the accompanying dishes flattering it well. FORMANS had certainly provided us with the finest smoked salmon, beautifully presented, and the various ways of enjoying it and lived up to their legendary reputation.

FORMAN'S RESTAURANT.
BELOW ZERO / ICEBAR
It didn't take long after seeing the fascination and success of the original ICE BAR in Stockholm, before one was brought to London. The novelty of it is still undeniable and excites and attracts people every day. Based in Heddon Street, off Regent Street, the ICEBAR BY ICEHOTEL consists of the ice bar, the restaurant and lounge.
The first part of our experience was in the bar. Greeted by a very friendly chap we were informed that the capacity of the bar is up to 70 people with 40 minutes being the time limit to spend in there. Waterproof hooded coats (with gloves attached) were distributed amongst us and we entered. Apart from the ceiling and floor and a few machines lighting the room blue, everything really is made of ice! The bar has an array of cocktails based on vodka, gin, bourbon, rum and more. The first drink is complimentary with your Icebar ticket. so we chose a 'Down to Earth' and an 'Apollo 11.' The glasses from which you enjoy these delicious cocktails are, of course, made of ice, making it refreshingly cold to sip your drink! After half an hour of admiring the pink space inspired walls,the ice sculptures dotted around the room and the tables and chairs made of ice, my fingers were telling me it was time to leave! So back into the warmth and into the Below Zero restaurant we went.
ICEBAR has various events per week including stand up comedy, acoustic sessions and wine tasting. Tonight it was comedy night and our attentive waiter assured us we were in for a laugh. We feasted our eyes on the sizeable menu, intrigued by the wide choice of game. We warmed up with a lovely 2006 bottle of Rioja. To start we had the five spiced soft shell crab with shaved fennel, radish and lime as well as smoked wood pigeon accompanied by carrot puree and glazed baby turnips. The crab was rich and the fennel was fresh. The pigeon was succulent and smokey. Both dishes were immaculate and beautifully presented but quite small. However, being small, they leave you wanting more! I opted for the fish of the day whilst my guest chose the sirloin steak with a red wine jus and capers. It arrived rare as ordered, thus he was satisfied. The fish of the day was sea trout: pan fried with grilled aubergine and aubergine puree. The trout was delightful, rich in flavour, delicate and very well cooked. The salad garnish and aubergine puree went with the trout wonderfully.
The comedy was well under way by this point. Leo Kearse, winner of Chelmsford Comedian of The Year hosted the evening introducing us to many comedians desperate to make us choke on our food! They were indeed successful in entertaining us and it was a lovely addition to our ICEBAR experience.
For dessert we ordered warm carrot cake with kumquat marmalade and spiced bread ice-cream, dark chocolate parfait and mango sorbet. The cake was moist and the spiced ice cream was thoroughly appreciated. The dark chocolate parfait was smooth and indulgent and the sorbet refreshed the palate well. All in all ICEBAR had provided us with an extremely enjoyable evening and I look forward to visiting again soon.

My nails have at last started to grow after my chemo ordeal and my nail tech, the gorgeous LAUREN at NAILS INC / HARVEY NICHS 9020 7235 5000, X 2553) decreed that I was ready to abandon the dreaded extensions and 'go gel'. This was a major thrill in my little life and I chose a jolly bright pink nail gel colour from the fab NAILS INC range.

Try Vitamin D3 too - it is essential for health and in particular for post cancer patients, as it stops the inflammatory cascade in the body.

BEST LIFTING PRODUCT
The famous and long established MURAD's latest rejuvenating product, Rejuvenating Lift for Neck and Decollete promises to 'restore youthful smoothness and even skin tone by increasing firmness 42% after just one application and retexturing skin to diminish crepiness and sagging". Quite a promise! Did it deliver? Trialler JEANNETTE, 56 said "yes, it did. I have no idea what 42% firmness is, I just know this product made me look younger in a short time which is brilliant. It doesn't smell funny like some of them and apparently it contains banana pulp, java plum and mango so nice and natural. I love it and will use it regularly now I have found it. A big thankyou to Sally, Hot Gossip and Murad!"

BEST NEW MASSAGE PRODUCT
THE KNEADER is a really neat and nifty little massaging gadget that requires no leads or batteries. It's just like a light knuckleduster - you slip it around your fingers, then away you go massaging away all your aches and pains with your own muscle power (or a friend's). I tried this myself and found it particularly good for kneading the little stress knots round my neck and shoulders (probably from hunching over the blooming computer writing this column!) Anyway it was just what I needed, excuse the pun!
It glides along particularly easily with a little Grapeseed Oil - try it.
Take a look to see how THE KNEADER works:

THE KNEADER.
I always love a happy ending. When my dear friend ADELE BLOOM burned herself on our oven and had to go off to A AND E, she was in a lot of pain, had a bad scar and we all felt dreadful. So we were all profoundly relieved when she found PURISKIN RESURFACING FORMULA. Here's her report:
This product is simply fantastic, it does everything it says on the tin, it delivers.
The Puriskin cream smells delicious, it's easily absorbed and is a no nonsense product.
After my serious kitchen accident, I was left with a horrible angry scar on my arm, but this Resurfacing Formula has worked wonders and my ugly scar is at last starting to fade.I was able to see a difference in the first few weeks and now after a month it is far less obvious. I wouldn't dream of using anything else.
I also used the formula on a few skin tags on my neck and they too have started to diminish.
The formula is packed with pure nourishing ingredients, described as a vitamin rich, ph balancing complex which includes Comfrey , Chamomile oil ,Jojoba Oil, Evening Primrose oil and much more.
Try it , its brilliant , I cant wait to try Puriskin's other products. This is the company to watch, they deliver.

BEST HAIR ACCESSORIES
A bit of bling partifies the most ordinary hairstyle. When CARRIE (SARAH JESSICA PARKER) pontificated that you should never wear a scrunchy to a party, she clearly had not seen the LEO BANCFOFT FINISHING TOUCH sparkly flower scrunchy!
The whole LEO BANCROFT FT range is fab, as well as reasonably priced - bling and pearl bands, bling slides, et al. But how tough are they? Our mum and daughter trialling team TESSA AND JASMINE, 12 loved them. Said TESSA "the LEO BANCROFT range is great - they don't break, stretch or tarnish. The slide was especially strong - so many break on Jasmine's long, thick hair but this one goes on and on. Very pretty on my short hair as well."

These one-of-a-kind celebrity donations will be sold from the 25th February to the 17th of March.

High Fashion Society is supported by celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Melanie C, Fearne Cotton, Nigella Lawson and Lorraine Kelly to name a few. All proceeds made will go towards care and support of deprived and at risk Kids Company children in the capital. The best bit is that the starting prices will be set at a snip of the original value, so you really could bag a bargain while raising money to help Kids Company.
