I am taking part in Lock Up Your Boss - a unique fundraising event organised by St Anne's Hospice.  I decided to support St Anne's Hospice because they do such valuable work helping and supporting patients and their relatives. 

On Friday 20th November I will be spending the morning behind bars for my crimes against fashion.  In order that I can be released I need to raise as much money as possible for my bail!

Please dig deep in your pockets and sponsor me, the money is going to an excellent cause.
