The Lady  |  2nd August 2019
Dear Readers,
It is often said that a true friend will tell you what
you really look like, but who really wants friends like
that? Most of us end up delivering a little white lie,
or a delicate version of the truth because by the time
someone has arrived across town for the girls get
together it is too late to tell them that they look like
a sofa. Most of us, of course, have an intuitive sense of when we look
rather good, or, as the young people say Match Fit, but it can be hard.
Over the years, I have interviewed a variety of experts, and it is the
culmination of this wisdom that forms
the backbone of our feature on how
to Look Ageless. Winston Churchill
had very little worries about his looks,
not least as he was known to wander
naked around his home and receive
visiting dignitaries in the bath. As Jacob F. Fields reveals, Churchill
had many quirks, including wearing silk undies – and I’m sure they
really suited him. Damian Lewis, the actor best known for his epic TV
roles in Band of Brothers and Homeland, is about to appear on our
silver screens portraying the movie idol, Steve McQueen, a man who
quite simply always looked like a god. The same cannot be said for
the dear pets taking part in this year’s Pet Fit Club in association with
the PDSA . Will Percy the Pug lose 40 per cent of his bodyweight? Will
Alfie the Labrador shed a mammoth 28 kilos to become slimmer of the
year? Will any of us be able to resist the delicious recipes on our food
pages? I can feel the tension rising…
Until 16 August, best wishes
