I was asked to do a talk at the W.I Dalston Darlings last month. They were searching for inspirational woman and apparently I was one of them. I completely forgot until the day before so had done no prep or advertising but by the time I started the room was bursting at the seams with young woman so I had no reason to stress no one would come.  I did a little talk, a lot of talking really and then we got cracking with an exclusive: Jordan's Pussy- a dried out cat carcass put in the pose of a cat (and Jordan on her beach catalog shoot) which we would dress for the first time since it had been skinned.

"You certainly won't be bored!"
