Ready to Dress The authors’ mission is to show women how to take stock of their shape and dress accordingly for every occasion. They list the necessities in a wardrobe, show the best and worst cuts for each of the six main body types, taking into account personality and lifestyle. Definitely one for the girls, Ready to Dress is a light and fluffy tour through the heart of the dull and dingy wardrobe, it certainly isn’t brain surgery but, hey, it was never supposed to be.
Getting it all off Porn has become so commonplace we hardly notice it - yet it is turning us into a nation of peeping toms.

What did you watch on TV last night? Was it Walter: The Secret Life of a Victorian Pornographer on Channel 4, with its promise of steam and period spice - or Anna Karenina, which offered the same winning combination in billboards and newspaper ads showing a horizontal Anna above the slogan "Heroine or Harlot?"
But let no one believe this is the slime of the dumbed-down gutter, faraway from the upper reaches of British life. No, sex is the currency of all classes. Whenever they can conjure half an excuse, the posh papers put schoolgirls on the front and long features on Charlie Dimmock’s nipples inside. The sloanoid founders of Ready2shop.com, Susannah Constantine and Trinny Woodall, launched their business by posing semi-naked for posters that filled the railway stations of the land. They were following a lead set by the Rylstone and District branch of the Women’s Institute, who famously stripped off for a fund-raising calendar last year (and who are at it again now to promote Surf).
’They wanted to give us a good scrubbing’

There are worse jobs in the Metropolitan police force these days than standing on guard outside Peter Mandelson’s Notting Hill flat. The secretary of state for Northern Ireland’s, as we all know, keeps himself pretty much to himself. But downstairs ...

Born as the slightly less hooray-yah sounding Sarah-Jane Woodall on January 3 1965, Trinny was educated at Kensington’s Queens Gate School. She began her career in the rather less style concious business of the City’s financial centre before bagging herself a job as a writer for the Daily Telegraph.
She set up Ready2shop.com with good friend Susannah Constantine (whom she had previously made over) in the late 90s. The website handed out fashion advice to surfers until 2001 when the pair ran out of money and closed the site down.
However, the pair were picked up by the BBC to present a new makeover show, What Not To Wear. They went on to present What Your Clothes Say About You and What You Wear Can Change Your Life for the Beeb before being hijacked for ITV’s Trinny & Susannah Undressing.
Trinny’s personal life has been a subject of much media attention, notably due to a drug addiction in her earlier years (she is now a trustee of The Chemical Dependency Centre). She is now married to Johnnie Elichaoff and after several attempts has given birth to their daughter Lyla, who was born in October 2003.
