A Lady in London

As part of my duties as the Face of Ascot racecourse, I returned for King George Day on Saturday for lunch and a photo shoot.

I arrived mid-morning with my boyfriend and two of our friends and headed up to the Parade Ring Restaurant, where we were welcomed with a glass of Champagne. A friendly hostess showed us to our table, which was preemptively furnished with four bottles of wine and a bottle of Champagne. Not bad for eleven o’clock in the morning.

This week has been a very surreal one. After getting scouted for a modeling competition for the Face of Ascot on Tuesday and selected as a finalist on Thursday, I headed back to Royal Ascot on Saturday for the judging.

The morning was filled with champagne receptions and meetings with the judges. In the afternoon we were taken to a photo shoot, a fashion show, and a lunch. We had time to watch some of the horse races before heading down to the catwalk area for the televised announcement of the winner on the BBC. I was a little nervous, but mostly just freezing cold.

I love to people-watch. I do it at restaurants, sidewalk cafes and airports. I do it at events, parties and conferences. I do it wherever and whenever I can.
