Fighting for quality news media in the digital age.

Artist wades into a weighty subject

I bumped into Tracey Emin at a party at the Wilton Music Hall just last week, and she was banging on about Julie Burchill and being ‘Photoshopped”.

She told me: ‘I read this article Julie had written about celebrities getting Photoshopped, and she was saying how she totally understood it, and she didn’t see why people made a fuss about it when they did it.

‘And then there was this picture of Julie and she looked amazing. I thought it was funny because she’d obviously got Photoshopped herself.

‘Then I heard she’s actually lost loads of weight since I last saw her, so maybe she really does look like that now.”

Over to you, Julie. Do drop us a note on a postcard and let us into your beauty secrets.
