Dear Ms. Lumley:
Congratulations for your spectacularly successful lobbying efforts on behalf of the Gurkhas and their struggle for the right to obtain residency in the U.K. It's refreshing to see someone use their celebrity for something else than flogging some product or another. Kudos for that!
Worthy political causes aside, for me and for countless others you will forever remain the status-seeking, chain-smoking, champagne-swigging, hopelessly twisted fashion editor of Ab Fab fame. Old episodes featuring your drunken antics with Jennifer Saunders still have the power to send me into fits of laughter and to this day the Ab Fab series remains one of the best satires of the frothy world of fashion ever made.
Alas, while you may or may not share your character's passion for fashion, it probably hasn't escaped your attention that not all is well in the fashion industry these days. Indeed, French designer and 1980's icon Christian Lacroix of all people has had to file for bankruptcy protection. Is there any designer more closely intertwined with the Ab Fab series than Lacroix?!?
So, in the event you are looking for another worthy cause, I was wondering whether you might consider deploying some of your media savvy and tremendous public appeal to lobby on behalf of a bail out package for the very worthy Mr. Lacroix. Bail out packages are all the rage these days and after all, it's Lacroix sweetie!!! He simply can't be permitted to disappear. How about it Pats?
Sincerely,
The Luxe Chronicles
