April 6, 2008: Vanessa-Mae participates in bringing the Olympic Torch through London in a relay with more than 80 celebrities and sports personalities from the UK
Vanessa-Mae looks fantastic in the white sports costume. Because her hair is tied backwards in a tail on her back, her face becomes very exposed. Obviously, Vanessa-Mae wears make-up as is visible in her soft red lipstick and the dark eye definition.
Her participation was severly disrupted by the demostrations she was due to carry the torch on a boat across the Thames. Instead she carried it from the south bank hall to the stage in front of the Queen Elizabeth Hall only about 30m. I nearly missed her carrying the torch it was only due to seeing her family members around her car that I realised that she was still going ahead in carrying the torch. It was snowing and freezing and the poor thing was shivering, someone could have carried a coat for her whilst she was waiting and after finnishing carrying the torch.
