THE PEOPLE BEHIND THIS ISSUE TALK

PARTIES, PRINCE & SELF-PITY

With a flair for interiors, you may expect lifestyle photographer NIKOLE

RAMSAY to be a real homebody (see her pics on p166), but a bit of ’70s disco is all she needs to get the party started.

Party essential: A hot-pink lipstick. My favourite at the moment is M.A.C’S Matte Lipstick in Breathing Fire. Song guaranteed to get you on the dance floor: “Night Fever”

by the Bee Gees. Sure-fire hangover cure: An early-morning ocean swim.

New Year’s resolution: To be present and love more. Amsterdam-based writer LAURA

COLLINS may not be convinced about regular self-help books (see p45), but she sure knows how to embrace her inner party animal.

Party essential: A strong earring and an amaretto sour.

Song guaranteed to get you on the dance floor: “More Than A Feeling”

by Boston. Sure-fire hangover cure: Self-pity, a beer and a burger (late enough in the day that I can stomach it). New Year’s resolution: I’ve stopped lying to myself about sticking to resolutions. Beauty expert VICTORIA BARON channelled her favourite glam makeup looks for our party fashion shoot on p114. Party essential: Red lipstick and a camera.

Song guaranteed to get you on the dance floor: “I Wanna Be Your Lover”

by Prince. Sure-fire hangover cure: A swim and the 20-sips-of-water-before-bed rule. New Year’s resolution: To go on holiday and no (or limited) shopping online.
