Poor old stick. I used to see her around town quite often, never a dull moment!

how terribly sad. A great character.

How sad

brilliant quote in teh guardian this morning

ms blow meeting her new boss at a dinner party type thing...wearing a pair of antlers and a veil...him ''how will you manage to eat your meal?''
ms blow ''that is of absolutely no concern to me''

or words to that effetc

what a fantastic quote

very sad news.

oh shit. she's been trying for years.
damn.

Wow.

Very sad.

She seemed a tortured soul.

I hope she has found some peace, even if she called her stepmother of more than 30 years a 'creature from a council estate'.

they broke the mould when they made her, one of a kind

sat next to her at dinner last year
scariest night of my life
but a v generous and good friend, by all accounts

The world's a more boring place without her mad stylishness.

Oh how sad
I had one of the most hilarious nights of my life at the Blow's hotel in Kandy once. Amazing place and people

aw, she was bonkers but a good person to have in the world. saw her about a few times, she seemed really mad but shy, iykwim?

never heard of her

how come you all know of her

Was she really only 48? . Somehow I thought of her as older.

I've never heard of her either.

Her face looks vaguely familiar though.

She sort of looked like Isabella Rosellini, IMO.

She was absolutely broken by not being able to have children, I heard from someone very close to her. She'd tried to kill herself before. Very, very sad.

not even in the hairdressers

Big, wild hats. Very Sitwellian IMO
The English do arty eccentricity really well.
I had not realised they weren't able to have children
