Yesterday, we told you that one of our models, 53 year old Sue, catwalk modelled at Wimbledon’s most fashionable department store for the second time this year.

This morning, Sue let us know how the very exciting sounding modelling job went: “I modelled for the Elys fashion show for the second time, and again it was great fun with the other models and the Elys staff, who were very helpful, fun and down-to-earth.

“I really enjoyed the assignment as I was very familiar with the work and it was easy to fit in as the staff were very helpful. They also had a good sense of humour at all times, and the most enjoyable part was that they cracked open the Champagne just before we hit the catwalk, so depending on your shoes it was make or break!”

Continuing, Sue told us what the modelling job involved: “We had our hair and make-up done, tried on all our outfits then were given lunch and were free to roam the store for a few hours-dangerous as there were so many lovely things.

“Then we walked down a very long catwalk in front of lots of people. They had a large turn-out of men, women and children.”

So how did Sue’s modelling efforts go down with the crowd? “I always get good reviews and feed back from ladies of the same age group as me as I am a very realistic curvy size 12. I am always confident in this setting as I think I am a good honest role model for ladies in my age group. I have to say I always enjoy the work I do – it is diverse and fun and if you can model a swimsuit and not look like Claudia Schiffer in front of hundreds of people you can do anything!”

Well done again Sue, it’s great to hear you had so much fun!
