Here you go – proof that not only did I model as a teenager, but that I’m short:

This Is Me:
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

Of course. He already loves me
wow! those were the days eh Linda?
Sigh…long ago days. Yes, they were?
Soooo jealous, don’t want to be your blog buddy anymore
Hehe! Forgive me for being young once?
Hehe! Forgive me for being young once?
Impressive!
Thanks! There’s no link – do you have a blog?
You look great. Was modeling hard?
Yes, it was. Lots of rehearsing, early starts, late nights, quick changes back stage. But great fun!
How about that!
Quite the vamp, Tilly!
I’m far too innocent to be a vamp
Wow..I wish I had this kind of experience Linda!…You rock!
Just dumb luck, really. The mother of a girl in my year was a professional model and a teacher suggested we do a fashion show to raise money for school, with the mother training us and organising it. She (the mother) was so pleased with us, she got us some gigs. Hard work but great fun.
Oh that was really great! My girl cousins and I always pretend were models. Since were not, we have our paper dolls do the modeling and fashion shows, besides, the papers dolls have more dresses than us! Your experience isn’t dumb luck! It is a great experience…
Great photos, Tilly. Modelling in those days didn’t pay much, did it?
No. Especially when you’re starting out and do it for free, for the experience.
Great fun, though!
I can see why you got another job as a model. Very nice.
Thanks!
Do you have a blog that I can visit?

Thanks. I wonder why the link isn’t working in your name?
I dunno, I went to your site, and it worked for me?!?
Weird!
Not alone were you modelling, but modelling in the rain and looking amazing!
ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simper
Shame we have to grow old. Mr Piglet often says the woman he married has been kidnapped by aliens. Bloody cheek! You were very pretty and so slim!
Mr Piglet needs a smack!
Looking good girl…. I did a shoot for the Evening Argus in Brighton when I was in my early twenties.. VERY sexy they were too…haha .. I’d have to wear a large bin bag to cover everything up these days
Wow! Now we need to see the evidence…
NOT a hope !!!!
though I could email them to your privately so that you can confirm!!! as long as you swear on your children’s lives not to post them on here !
Absolutely! I never betray a confidence. And I’m honoured that you trust me enough to do that – though not surprised, because I never betray a confidence, so why wouldn’t you trust me?
What were we talking about?
haha.. waiit and see !
Photos on their way Tilly!! as proof that I WAS in the paper
I did believe you, you know.
I can say that now I’m going to see the evidence
I know but it’s just fun and you WERE brave enough to put yours up here !
Had to counterbalance my ugly photo last week!
I don’t remember an ugly photo.. it mustn’t have been THAT bad
After my friend’s visit.
You were a great model! I think that you looked like Pat Benatar, who was a sexy rock lady, in some of the pictures.
I know her! ‘Invincible’ is one of my favourite songs.
une belle fille!
I love that I can totally see you in that smile. The youthful spirit is clearly still within you!
I cannot disagree – I’m young at heart. Though old in knees.
Awesome.
Wov …. you really have it in you. Looking good, girl.
You were STUNNING!
I wish! But thanks
Now you know one of my reasons for marrying her….hubba hubba. In the words of Mike Harding….uweee uwee dip yer bread.
Darling, how sweet!
Wow that is so interesting. Sounds fun. I had that same “suit” in the third picture down. Needless to say my dad was very mad at me. Looking back I can’t say I blame him.
Your link takes me to your gravatar but no blog; do you have one?
Hot bod.
Many moons ago
Stunning!
