GLAMOROUS GRAN GETS HER KIT OFF
A local woman who is set to appear in a glamour magazine says she is “thrilled to bits at the prospect”.
Emily Fanshawe, widow of industrialist Simon Fanshawe, is to be centrefold model for the July edition of Playgran. The magazine, which has featured such mature beauties as Arsula Undress, Gloria Honeyfart and Barbara Windors, has worldwide sales of over 170.
“I really don’t know how they came to choose me,” Ms Fanshawe told the Observer, “but it’s gratifying to be recognised, isn’t it? And I’ve always rather liked being in front of the camera.”
The photoshoot, which took place at Twycross Zoo earlier this month, involved the spirited senior citizen posing semi-naked with various wild animals.
“The photographer was really nice and put me completely at my ease," the 92-year-old said, "I didn’t feel at all embarrassed about taking my clothes off and posing for him.”
The magazine, which goes on sale on June 28th, includes a photo of Ms Fanshawe wrapped in a zebra skin as well as one of her seated on the back of a tapir, wearing a flame red bodice and carrying a whip.
