Yesterday I interviewed Caryn Franklin about the Fashions targets breast cancer campaign for My-wardrobe.com. Caryn has co-chaired the charity since the campaign was launched in 1996. I interviewed her about the 2009 campaign which is being launched next week.
I arrived at My-wardrobe's office in London and had to have nose through the clothes. When I came across the Ossie Clarke pieces I think my eyes must of lit up and started drooling! I also spotted the most fabulous purple platform wedges they also had a fabulously large price too. I could only dream of all these gorgeous fashion creations.
Caryn arrived early which was probably a good thing as the nerves started to kick in. While the camera was being set up Caryn and I chatted. She is a lovely women and put me at ease about interviewing her. I could not really believe I was interviewing someone I had grown up with on the telly. I used to watch The Clothes Show religiously when I was younger.
I had tried to memorize all the questions the day before but my nerves got the better of me. We had to be filmed four times at different angles. As soon as the camera was aimed at me I forgot and stumbled over all the questions. Fashion Targets breast cancer campaign was becoming a mouth full so was able to abbreviate it in some of the longer questions.
I got through it and was relived it was over. Everyone seemed happy with it. I had really enjoyed it despite of being extremely nervous. The nerves were more about remembering the questions though as I have a terrible memory. I think if I had remembered them I would have felt a lot more at ease.
It has always been a bit dream of mine to do something like that. I am not sure you could say I am a natural but I think I did pretty well seeing as I have not done an awful lot for the last 6 months and my confidence is not sky high at the moment. I'm not looking forward to watching myself as I could not think of anything worse then seeing and listening to my own voice on screen. I just hope its better then what I think.
The interview will appear on the my-wardrobe.com's TV spot on their website next Tuesday.

You interview was great! I think I need to watch out!! I'm glad to hear you are really on the way to recovery now and I hope to see you again soon, Marcus and I may come to Brighton over the summer for the day so if you are back there I'll give you a call. Also I think the Bra walk that Liz and your sisters are doing is amazing I've sponsored her and will be cheering them on on the 16th!
Much love and if you want a day in London you know where we are.
Big Kisses
