“I must mention here that however swanky  the hotel, people can’t help looking at HBC. Young and old smile and nudge each other.

And if HBC notices, she smiles back. HBC, I realise, must be one of the most recognisable people  in the world. Later, on a street shoot with HBC, in Camden, everyone – and I mean everyone – recognises her and is thrilled to see her.

People grin and she grins back. Blokes whoop from vans and she whoops back. One bloke yells, ‘Wey-hey,’ at the top of his voice and HBC shouts, ‘Wey-hey,’ back at the top of hers. It’s like being on a sleepover with an exciting, fun-loving new best friend who’s not scared of her parents.”
