Getting to know you
Dundonian model and charity fundraiser Elaine Harris has been on numerous magazine covers and a judge on Top Model. Here she lets us in on her life
Q Has modelling opened new doors for you?
A Yes, it has been a complete whirlwind and shows no sign of slowing down. I have had so many amazing opportunities and met lots of wonderful people from all over the world... I have been very busy creating happy memories. Q Top tips for looking good with minimum effort? A I believe that if you feel good inside you can rock any outfit. However a simple but wearable look for me is leggings or a dress with a pair of heels (to add height), a little leather jacket (to add structure to any look), a bright lip colour and lashings of mascara. Q Cleanse, tone and moisturise or straight to bed? A Cleanse, tone and moisturise. I swear by apple cider vinegar as a toner, it really is a fantastic, natural product, and then I love stretch mark cream as a moisturiser... I’m giving away my secrets now.
Q item Your do houseyou save?is on fire, what one A My laptop with all my pictures/videos on it. Q Theme song for your life? A Don’t Stop Believing by Journey. Q Last meal on earth? A Something spicy like nachos with lots of jalepenos. Q Dream dinner party guests? A Annie Lennox to sing, Billy Connolly to make me laugh and Gerard Butler to look at. Q First thing you’d do if you won £1 million? A Buy a cash machine. Q Quiet night in or big night out?
A I am completely one or the other and absolutely nothing in between. I think a quiet night in with my daughter watching movies, snuggling up on the couch with a feast is my favourite and in the process banking my energy for future big nights out. Q What is your most embarrassing memory? A My first day as a Saturday girl at the age of 13 and I didn’t realise I was serving customers with my skirt tucked into my knickers.
