I caved and added another magazine to my ever-growing pile. I rarely buy Vogue, choosing to pick up a copy when there is an actress on the cover that I love. After all, it's not like I can afford anything in it! Anything with Kate Winslet on the cover will get me to buy and I was especially intrigued by her new look.
I've always been fascinated by Kate Winslet - her career, her personal life, her image. My years of Media Studies have taught me that a celebrity's public image is built largely on the agenda of the celeb and what the media want you to think of them but in all the interviews I've read and seen, Kate Winslet seems to be one of the few genuinely down-to-earth actresses. I've always loved the story of her getting married in her local pub and having bangers and mash for her wedding dinner. And the fact that she still takes her kids to school and works around their school holidays. I love the supposed 'normality' of her 'celebrity' lifestyle.
