As Adam Sandler famously said in the 1998 retro movie 'The Wedding Singer', "we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl". (I think he nicked that from somewhere else.)

Dear oh dear. 

So yes, I've been persuaded to support the MS Society by 'doing catwalk' at 'Material Girls' the MS Society's fantastic fundraising and awareness-raising fashion event at Harvey Nichols in Manchester on Sunday 23 April.

Tickets to witness my (latest) public humiliation at first hand are available for a mere £15. Just visit http://www.mssociety.org.uk/materialgirls

If you can't make it on the night (and I'm obviously praying that you can't) you can still make a donation and I'll let you see some heavily doctored pictures after the event. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a donation.

The Multiple Sclerosis Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.

Oh, the shame.

Love and best wishes
