I didn't write this. I did originally write a piece but it was substantially rewritten by a journalist before it was sent on the be picked up by a magazine. Then it was rewritten some more. Some of the stuff in this story is clearly a dramatic verison - like me twirling in front of a mirror as a kid, or going straight into borrowing my mum's clothes after trying on a dress for the first time ever. It was much more nuanced than thta in reality.
Also - they loved the angle of me being empowered by Twitter, but as I couldn;t find enough tweets to support this, it wasn't the main angle of the final story.
And another thing - love that the colour scheme they use matches the colour scheme of this blog! :-p
All in all, I'm quite impressed with this article. It's positive. It's largely factual. And there was nothing in there I didn;t agree to before publication.
The same day me and rich were contacted by ITV but as neither of us responded my moment of brief fame ended there!
