Walking on the Beaches Looking at the Peaches...

Looking back on all my posts, I now realise I've neglected the talented and successful decorated women. Shame on me, I know. I guess I got far too caught up in extremely successful (and extremely hot) tattooed guys. How about I make it up to you? This week's blog post is dedicated to my favourite sulky celeb, Peaches Geldof.

"She's young, edgy with lashings of style"- Michelle Mone, Ultimo Underwear

Born in 1989, daughter of Sir Bob Geldof: legendary artist, author, actor and political activist, Peaches grew up in Chelsea where she attended Queen's College London. Despite being renowned as teen rebel, Peaches Geldof had a keen eye for journalism from a very young age, writing socio-political articles for The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian from the age of just 14! 

Extending her talents in journalism, the teenage Peaches went into the fashion sector writing columns for the UK Elle Girl and in 2006 even ranking #7 in Tatler's list of 10 of the year's most influential fashion icons (The youngest of the list!) Geldof even progressed to writing and presenting her very own documentary "Peaches Geldof: Teenage Mind," with follow up film "Peaches Geldof: Teen America."

With journalism and fashion fame under her belt, Peaches Geldof made her debut in the modelling world for PQR at London Fashion Week and the face of Australian fashion brand Dotti, (as usual when any celebrity conquers one area of the world, they must move on to conquering others.) After just two years in the industry, she achieved a six figure sum fronting the Miss Ultimo Underwear campaign.

Speaking of underwear, opportune moment to display a few of her 20 inkings, right?

1. String daisy chain stretching from knee to chest
2. "Ex Valentine"on her top left arm, and an open book and noose, both references to former flame Faris Badwan of The Horrors, 
3. In reference to another ex boyfriend, Frederick Macpherson, Geldof has four lines from Nick Cave's "In My Arms" along the bottom of her back.
4. The name of her magazine "Disappear Here" on her right arm. 
5. A dove on her hip, a symbol of love.

Unfortunately, this streak of success was short lived, as in true wild child style, Peaches was dropped from the campaign following the leaking of naked pictures and allegations of drug use. Again, in true wild child style, Peaches denied the lot!

Since then, the rebel flame in Peaches has been smothered, all thanks to the birth of her children to S.C.U.M lead singer Thomas Cohen in 2012 and 2013. She continues to live a much less rock 'n roll life, except for the occasional Twitter spat, most recently less than a week ago....
