Let's talk about foundation garments, shall we? I remember years ago, I was a celebrity PR person and I was working with this amazing artist called Heather Small, who used to be with a band called M People. And her stylist, this phenomenal woman called Jo Phillips, was dressing Heather ready for a photo shoot and she looked immaculate. And I remember her saying to me when I was asking her, "What are the secrets? What's the secret to looking good and feeling sexy?" She said it's all about the foundation garments, and I suspect that is true. It cannot be underestimated how wearing a really great bra, some shaping underwear, whatever it takes to make you feel good and to look good, can transform how we feel about ourselves. And I know this morning I was going through my way too extensive underwear drawer, pulling out all this stuff that I'd forgotten that I had. And I've changed shape a little bit, so I was like checking out whether some of this stuff actually still fit me. And I found this little bra that was so cute, put it on, and I thought, actually, that looks so nice and just made me feel better this morning, just made me feel good. And there's just— it doesn't take much But getting yourself a well-fitted bra, ladies, can just make your shape look amazing, and as a result of that, make you feel amazing. Not that I'm saying that looks are everything, but there is something to be said about really, um, figure-enhancing foundation garments. Go and get yourself some!
