| Posted: 23 Jun 2019 03:36 AM PDT Millie Richardson never thought she would be involved in pageantry. However, in the space of a few months she had competed in her first competition and was crowned Miss Leicestershire 2019. She is now heading to the finals of the national competition, Miss England, while running her own makeup business. The 17-year-old from Broughton Astley studied Media Makeup at college, passing her Level 2 with the highest level Distinction*. "I knew that I didn't really want to go down the education route – I was always very clever but I never really knew what I wanted to do with it," Millie said. "But I definitely knew I wanted to do something within fashion, beauty, hair or makeup."  Millie was working on a makeup counter for Georgio Armani in Leicester when she was scouted for the competition. Mr Leicestershire, Grant Cotton, approached her and asked if she had ever taken part in pageants before. "Competing in pageants has always been a bit of a dream, but I've never done anything like it before – whereas some girls have been competing for many years and know what it's all about," Millie added. "I never really knew how to get into it, or even that it was taking place in Leicestershire. "So I just thought I'd go with it and see what happens - and actually ended up securing a place." As part of her campaign for Miss Leicestershire, Millie raised funds for local charities Hope Against Cancer (of which she is an ambassador), and Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group. The cause is close to Millie's heart, as she has family members who are battling the disease. She managed to raise over £600 for the charities by organising bake sales at work, and by working closely with Tilly Tots, a children's soft play company that specialises in sensory play for babies. Millie has also been working on completing a 22 mile sponsored swim – the length of the English channel – an effort which is ongoing.  For Miss England however, Millie plans to step up her fundraising efforts. As an ambassador for Everyone Active, she is planning a sponsored Zumba-thon at her local leisure centre. She also hopes to organise a charity concert featuring Tom Meighan from Kasabian. In addition, Millie has to prepare for the Miss England final days, which feature more rounds than the regional qualifiers. The eco fashion round will return, where contestants must create a dress using recycled and reused materials, along with pageant wear, beachwear, sports, general knowledge, publicity, popularity, and best hair. There is also a talent round where competitors must submit a five minute video, for which Millie is thinking of performing a lyrical dance to the Greatest Showman song This Is Me. She is hoping to film it at the King Power Stadium, and get some local celebrities on board. However, there is plenty more to do in the six weeks before the finals take place. Millie is currently working to secure sponsors for the competition – which so far include city centre-based RE:NU Hair Studio – and is keen to keep everything Leicestershire-based. She also will be appearing as Miss Leicestershire at Leicester Racecourse's Ladies Day, and has lots of bookings for her makeup business as the wedding season begins. Millie said: "It's stressful, but we're loving it! We've got ideas for everything, but the next six weeks is about pulling it all together. "For my Miss England dress we're thinking of creating something new, as it needs to stand out – it needs to have a meaning behind it. "For example, my Miss Leicestershire eco fashion dress was made from an Oxfam dress decorated with Walkers Crisps packets – a Leicestershire company – to tie in with their recent recycling campaign. We shaped them into roses, like the English rose for rugby, as we were at Leicester Tigers. "I want to keep everything Leicestershire-based and help support local businesses, too."  As a newcomer to Miss England, Millie has high hopes – but says the Miss Leicestershire title is a huge achievement already. "Whatever happens in Miss England happens. "We've got two timeframes at the minute – we've got the six weeks before Miss England, then we've got the 11 months as Miss Leicestershire. "So no matter what happens I'm still Miss Leicestershire for a whole year which is great. "Right now I have a lot of sponsors and charities helping me, so over the next 11 months I'd love to give back to everyone, do things for them and raise their profiles. "Really just see what happens and what opportunities come my way – it's so exciting!" Millie also points out that while Miss England is based in the county, the last time a local contestant won the title was in 2001 – the year she was born. "It would be fantastic to bring Miss England home to Leicestershire," she adds. "Leicester City made the impossible possible, so who knows? "Either way it's a really good opportunity to raise your own profile and take whatever you want from it, whether that be presenting, modelling, makeup and beauty business – it could evolve into anything." The finals of Miss England 2019 take place in Newcastle Upon Tyne over two days, 31 July and 1 August. 55 women from across the country will be competing to be crowned Miss England. |
| Posted: 23 Jun 2019 12:00 AM PDT Carine Roitfeld was the editor of French Vogue for 10 years, worked closely with Karl Lagerfeld, is an adviser to Tom Ford – and is an absolute titan in the global fashion world. Naturally, what this means to me is that the thought of meeting her is absolutely terrifying, so I sit down in the Parisian hotel where we have arranged to do the interview and tell her this. She is dressed in black, of course, her slightly hunched posture making her look more like her 64 years. She is sipping a tiny coffee, and isn't remotely surprised I'm terrified. "People think I'm judging, but I'm not judging," she says. "I'm watching. It's different. People sometimes say, 'My God her eyes will scan you,' but it's not to judge you. It's to get ideas. It's observation." Well that's all right then. French Vogue, under her tenure from 2001 to 2011, was a force to be reckoned with. It looked like nothing else. She believed in bold ideas and she loved boobs, even naked on the cover. She loved cigarettes dangling from models' mouths. She loved fur. And she loved curves. She used unskinny models Crystal Renn and Lara Stone, and did a cover with the blonde, mainstream-looking model Carolyn Murphy prancing around with Andre J, a black transgender model in a dress and a beard. "Would Anna Wintour ever allow such a thing?" asked the American website Jezebel at the time. I have brought the current issue of French Vogue with me and we flick through it together. All the models are the exact same skinniness. "I do not like this," she says. "I like older women. I like bigger girls. I like black women. I did everything first. But people forget, because people forget everything. I feel totally comfortable with everyone. It is my strength, to be open-minded, always." It does seem to be true – she is even interested in my red handbag, which is made of fake leather, cost about £50 from a small animal-friendly brand she's never heard of, and is bursting at the seams "because you put too much stuff in it," she says, as if she's my mum. After too many years spent reading all those books about how to be chic like a Frenchwoman and hating them so much I'd feel compelled to go straight out and buy one about how to date like them, too, and then how to raise children who eat like French enfants, I feel I should be expert in how to be an insouciant yet glamorous Parisian – except it hasn't worked at all. I am not remotely chic. My love life is so English it's practically Chaucerian. My child subsists on potatoes. So I want to ask this most Parisienne of Parisiennes for her secrets – can she make me chic? I have this scarf, you see, and every time I tie it in a knot it doesn't look right. I ask her to tie it better on me, but she takes it off me and ties it better on herself – by not tying it at all.  "Never a knot," she says. "But I learned this from Tom Ford, not France." She shows me that you either wrap it around your neck once with two long ends dangling down either side of your chest, or you fold it so it's doubled over and half the length and then thread it through itself a little bit like a tie. Not a knot, you understand. I ask Roitfeld, when I look at a Parisian woman who doesn't have much makeup on and is in a simple navy sweater and jeans and yet looks stunning, what is she spending her money on. What has she paid for that I can't see? Is it a dermatologist? Roitfeld nods – I have hit the nail on the head. "To be beautiful costs so much money," she agrees. "For something you don't see." She favours the aesthetician Hervé Herau for her own skin treatments, which she suggests are just a bit of cream, really. She is not keen on younger women getting Botox at all, while she thinks older women often overdo it. "I don't want to name names but there are some who can't move their faces any more. Like Cher." Roitfeld also says that French style is quite conservative, so the chicness comes from a certain coolness in attitude, a lack of overt polishedness, as well as the cut of the trenchcoat, the quality of the shoe. But she insists she prefers English style "because we are not good at fantasy, French people. In New York you see all this crazy nail art and I love that, too, but we French are more quiet, discreet." But how, how do I become chic? There must be a way. She looks at me sympathetically. "Chic," replies Carine Roitfeld, "is innate." Ah. In the years after leaving Vogue in 2011, her son Vladimir worked on convincing her that her name was valuable and that rather than keep only working for other brands she could become one herself. She was surprised, but she trusted him, and gradually they went into business together, launching her bi-annual magazine CR Fashion Book, her creative talent agency CR Studio, and now her Carine Roitfeld Parfums, for which she has created her 7 Lovers range, sold exclusively at Net-a-Porter, each perfume is named after a different fantasy lover from her imagination. So there is the English lover, called George, like our royal prince, "Yes, like him, your future queen," she says, suggesting either a language barrier or that she knows something I don't about Prince William's son. George the perfume started off quite green, so she added a shot of cannabis and a shot of espresso to the mix, as you do. Then there's Sebastian, who comes from Buenos Aires and is as dark and troublesome as the tango, and smells spicy and woody and is "a very selfish lover, the fight between life and death is what I want for him, he's very proud of himself". So he's the one you shouldn't marry, I suggest. "Oh maybe you should," she replies, quite seriously. My Englishness floats around me like virginity.  Her daughter, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, has also been involved, having taken a nude photo of her mother a couple of years ago that they decided to use for her marketing, after checking with Vladimir. "If he say I can do it, I can do it." She says the French aren't hung up on nudity like we are, although when her own Russian father would parade naked around their French apartment during her childhood, the neighbours did sometimes call the police, "because they didn't like to see it in front of their windows. But he didn't care." Vladimir also encouraged her to put a Muslim model in a hijab on the cover of her own magazine. The model was Halima Aden, a Somali who was born in a refugee camp in Kenya before moving to America as a child, becoming her American school's homecoming queen and entering Miss Minnesota. Roitfeld saw those photographs, used her on the cover and Aden now has a high-profile modelling career, having now appeared on the cover of British Vogue, too. "When I'm thinking about something he say yes you can do this no you can not do this. He gives a balance to me, which I need, because I'm a bit fearless, I can go too far. When I put this girl with the Muslim scarf I was not sure because no one did it before. But he say, 'I think it's you, do it. Even if some people kill you, it's you, do it. You open minds.'" At this point I realise this went beyond a cultural or fashion decision – she genuinely thought she might get murdered. "And they do kill me, but it's OK." Wait, Carine, nobody killed you, you're still here. You mean you were… criticised? "Yes, but a lot. It's different in different countries. When you're doing something new, it's normal to have critics. Every time I did a new thing I get criticised, but funnily I do a new thing because it's my way of thinking, my way of loving people. I'm very open-minded. This girl was so beautiful, and she wore her scarf, and there are a lot of girls in scarves in fashion now – you're not going to put them away from fashion, they're too big now." I mention how multicultural British Vogue has become under its new editor Edward Enninful. It's been a huge shift. "Yes, good! But he took my girl! He take my model! Halima become a huge voice now and great for her. I find other ones. It's part of the world today." On the one hand, CR is from a world of French chic that is, to me, impenetrable. On the other, she is really very funny and tells me that she likes makeup best when you only take half of it off at night "so you've got black smudged around your eyes the next day, and this is why people think French women are dirty," and that she doesn't follow the supermodel maxim about obsessively moisturising on aeroplanes, "because I'm always too cold, I just put my big sunglasses on when I land." Her high-powered morning health routine is composed of the two major nutrients, "espresso and cigarettes", and she doesn't like seeing women doing their makeup in their cars, on their way to work. Because it's vulgar? "Because it's dangerous!"  As for her own relationship with the mirror, "I'm lucky because I'm rather blind now so I don't see myself very well, it's much better. Although I have to do my makeup in one of those amplified mirrors. Horrifying." She did ask Tom Ford to show her how to take a good selfie, help her find her angle, "but he say to me: 'Oh, you do not have a good angle Carine.' I say: 'Thank you Tom, that is nice of you.' He say: 'No no it is better that someone else takes your picture.' I say: 'OK, nice, stop. Do not say that.' So I do not take selfies." She misses Karl Lagerfeld. "I really lost someone very important for me. My father died 20 years ago and Karl was… not a new father for me, but a protector." Since he died in February, she has taken on the role of style adviser at his namesake brand. I ask if he used to phone her a lot, but no, he would just text her photos of his cat, Choupette. "He was the king of sending big bunches of flowers and handwritten letters. No one else does it like this." We meet just before French Mother's Day, and she has been thinking about this, the first one since his death. "I know I will not get my flowers from him with the card saying you are a great stylist and a great mum. Mother's Day is different date in each country, how could he even know it was Mother's Day?" She has become so tender at this bittersweet memory that I wonder, almost dreamily, what sort of mum she was. "I was very tough with them. Screaming at them. Brush your teeth, go now to school, go and clean the car if you get a bad mark at school, make your bed, clean the kitchen even if the maid is coming. Say thank you to the taxi driver, say thank you to the waiter in the restaurant. My kids are well brought up because I was so tough with them. But I was very dedicated to them, too." Every Saturday she would take Vladimir to play football; Julia every Sunday to ride horses. She sent them to a bilingual school in Paris so they learned perfect English and now they both live in New York. She feels confident her parenting was a success, because, as adults, "They are very polite, they're working and they're not taking drugs. And my daughter would never leave her apartment without making her bed." So how does it feel to be the most glamorous grandma in the world, now that Julia has a daughter, Romy?  "Oh, but on Instagram I see a lot of glamorous grandmothers. Andrea Dellal, who lives in Rio and used to be a model. She is very glamorous and she has seven grandchildren. Very funny and laughing all the time, which is what I love, and she has good bones. And she has this, which I don't have," she says, pointing at her lack of cleavage. "But grandmothers now are not like before. My own grandmother seemed so old with her white hair. I dye mine." You wouldn't ever let it all out and go fully grey yourself? "Never say never but… certainly not." She says it's only younger people who could think the problem with ageing is wrinkles anyway, and that once you get old, you realise that the real trouble is your back, and your eyes going. Roitfeld tells me that six years ago, she had a bad fall, leading to seven operations on her back. "I have very fragile bones. I got the ears of my dad and the backbones of my mum." I ask if she is in pain at all times, and for the first time she pauses before answering. I sense she doesn't feel able to admit it, or to complain. "I have some good drugs," she says, slightly quietly. She then insists that she has to keep wearing heels because flat shoes are, according to her, not good for your back, at which point I realise that chicness is not so much innate as incurable. Even if she's not leaving the house, there are three things Carine Roitfeld never fails to apply every morning: "A bit of cream, a bit of black, a bit of perfume." And there we have it: my new mantra. That night, I try her trick of leaving on my eyeliner and mascara and the next morning, oh my goodness, the transformation has actually worked. All right, so it's my transformation into a panda rather than a Parisian, but still. The 8th arrondissement wasn't built in a day.

| Miss West Virginia on the paradox of having a heart condition - ABC News Posted: 21 Jun 2019 01:03 AM PDT The Dr. Bill Neches Heart Camp for Kids, a program for children with heart diseases, is just like your typical summer camp. There's archery, crafts, canoeing and even some fishing. But perhaps its greatest activity is helping kids with heart diseases feel less isolated by introducing them to other children like themselves. For guest speaker Madeline Morris Collins — also known as Miss West Virginia — the camp offered a chance to show the kids that a heart defect doesn't have to stop them from achieving their dreams. "As a kid, it feels like a weakness," Collins said. "But the older I became, the more I talked about it and announced it and realized that there were so many more people like me who wanted to talk about it and who wanted to support me — made it more of a strength." Collins was born with tetralogy of Fallot, a rare condition caused by a combination of four heart defects at birth. At 6 months old, she underwent her first of three open-heart surgeries, and she will need more in the future to replace her heart valve. The heart camp is associated with the UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. While there, Collins canoed, rock-climbed and, of course, danced. She said she loves to dance. But if she overexerts herself, she loses feeling in her right leg from a lack of blood flow, she says. That loss of feeling then works its way up to the rest of her body until she's forced to stop. But those stops are only temporary, she says — her passion is not. She's trained for more than 20 years and now dances at numerous parades in Walt Disney World. The physical scars left from the surgeries haven't stopped her, either. When Collins entered the Miss West Virginia preliminaries, she had to put on a swimsuit. It was a reminder of how different she looked. "I have a massive scar down my chest," she told the audience of campers with heart conditions. "That's not what most pageant people are used to." She said that photographers and people within the pageant world told her to hide it, put makeup on it or edit it out in pictures. "I always told them 'no' because our scars are so cool and they tell our story of what we've been through," she said. "It kind of embraces this whole story that we share with the world." That hit home with camper Elexa White, 19, who was born with a hole in her heart and now has a surgery scar. She declined to have her scars edited out in her yearbook photo. "I love having it shown because it's something that makes me different," White said. "It's something that makes me stronger than you are because I had heart surgery." Call it a paradox: a weakness that's a strength. "It is a little bit of a paradox because I'm not a pageant girl, but yet I'm Miss West Virginia," Collins said. "I love to be active, even though I have this heart condition. And so I think through all of that, I learned that it's my biggest strength."  |
| Posted: 23 Jun 2019 01:11 PM PDT  Jaclyn Hill has released a second apology video on her Instagram Stories, announcing that all customers who purchased her lipsticks will receive a full refund, including shipping and taxes, regardless of whether their lipstick was faulty or not. If you're not up to speed on the Jaclyn Cosmetics episode, Jaclyn finally launched a range of nude lipsticks after teasing her own line for the past five years. However when customers received their lipsticks they noticed they were contaminated with unknown fibres, holes and what appeared to be small 'plastic' balls. Jaclyn posted a video on her channel advising that she was looking into the problems and that the 'unknown fibres' were from the "Cotton gloves" her factory workers were wearing during production. However, on Saturday she took to Instagram Stories to post a lengthy video, apologising for that previous video, claiming it made her "Cringe". "Hey guys, I don't even know to start this. First and foremost I can't believe how attached I am to you guys because just this past week not being on social media has made me realise how much I miss you, and love you, and not talking to you guys on a daily basis has just been like the craziest thing ever. "I wanted to get on here and just talk to you guys in a really real way because in my last video that I posted regarding my lipsticks, I can't even tell you how much that video makes me cringe, even though it's only a week and a half old. "I just felt so much pressure, and panicked to get a video up. I just wanted to defend my brand so bad and I look at that and I'm just like, 'oh my gosh Jaclyn, like calm down'. I needed to take a step back for a moment and breathe, and I did not take that time. "I didn't want to sit on social media this past week and respond to every single person on Twitter and defend my brand. I wanted to allow you guys to get pissed off and have your reaction how ever you see fit, and for me to focus on my brand. To not focus on defending it, but to focus on fixing it, and that's exactly what I've been doing for the past week. "I have done everything - honestly - that you can think of. I have consulted with so many CEOs the past ten days figuring out how exactly to fix this, to make it right and make sure it never happens again. This is a whole new world for me, having my own brand, not having a collaboration. "The last thing I want to be known as is the girl who puts out crappy products, like it breaks my heart. "At this point I have sent out my lipsticks to five different labs that test product vigorously and spent over $100,000 dollars on this process. It sucks and I'm so disappointed in myself. "Honestly, I'm afraid to get emotional on camera because I just know what people will say and I don't want to seem like I'm the victim whatsoever and I hope you know that's not why I'm crying. I don't cry over this because I'm like 'Poor me, this just sucks'. I get emotional because I'm so disappointed with myself that I could even allow this to happen. "Long story short, the lab that I worked with I will never be working with again, obviously. There's been many people fired over this. We've got an entire new team that we're building for quality control because obviously that didn't work. "I'm going to push back several launches that I have because I really want to hone in on this and learn from my mistakes, and learn some very valuable lessons so that hopefully one day I can prove myself to you guys, no matter how long that takes. "In the meantime I have decided and made the decision to give every single person who purchased one of my lipsticks a full refund. I think that's the best thing I can do at this point. I know that there are a lot of people out there - it doesn't look like it on social media - but with all the emails in the back end, there's a lot of people who love their lipsticks. "But I don't care if 195,000 people loved a lipstick, if 3 people are having an issue, that's what's going to keep me awake at night. So it's really important to me that I make this right. So I'm going to be issuing a full refund including shipping and tax to every single customer from Jaclyn Cosmetics because that's the only thing that I feel is going to make things right. "I don't care about the loss of this money, I couldn't give a damn. You have no idea how embarrassing this is for me, but I will do everything in my power to make this right going forward and learn from this lesson that god has given me. "You guys don't have to do anything, there's no call to action. Even if you don't watch this story, or care, or you're just out there loving your lipstick, you're still going to receive a full refund. You'll receive an email in the next 24 hours letting you know your refund is being processed and you'll have your money back in your bank account within 7 business days. "That's the only thing I can do at this point, just bite the bullet and refund you guys and just apologise to you and try to make it right. I just want to get back to doing what I do and doing what makes me happy and doing what i"m good at. "I'm sorry for anyone that got a lipstick that wasn't incredible, it breaks my heart. But the future is bright and there's going to be really awesome things down the line. I thought I did what I had to do, I thought I did it all perfectly right, and didn't cut any corners. I crossed every t and dotted ever i but I was wrong and things still slipped through the cracks and I'm sorry but I will make sure that never ever happens again. Follow Laura on Instagram.  |
