An Immodest Proposal

14 October 2002
Victor's CV

I am the most beautiful girl in the world.

My hair is like spun gold.

My eyes are limpid blue pools.

My skin is of the smoothest alabaster.

My cheeks are rosy apples.

My ivory limbs glisten under the weight of the lightest gossamer.

My bottom is a firmly rounded peach which yields to gentle pressure.

I constantly exude lily of the valley and spring-fresh clothes on the line.

I have the voice of an angel.

I shower three times a day.

I am completely hairless.

I do not menstruate.

I do not get morning breath.

I have an unprecedented IQ.

I have three degrees - from Oxford, Harvard and the Sorbonne.

I am fluent in seven different languages and make love in them all.

I am shortlisted for the Nobel Prizes for Literature and Chemistry.

I am a trained chef.

I count Sean Connery, Michael Caine and Nigella Lawson among my friends.

I am an experienced horsewoman.

I run the London and New York marathons on alternate years.

I understand the offside rule.

I am an Olympic gymnast.

I'm yours for a tenner.
