COVER STORY: This month’s cover girl is the stunning socialite JOANNA.

After studying economics at a university in Poland (where she was born) JOANNA took a fashion design course at the American Intercontinental University in London. She is now a joint business partner with her boyfriend, businessman DAVE WEST.  The couple are planning to open a restaurant called ABRACADABRA and a Members Club called HAY JO, which are due to launch in September. Joanna is using her design skills for the projects, and knowing her exquisite taste she’ll no doubt make a grand job of the interior decoration. Dave also owns the world famous EASTENDERS WINE super store in Calais, France. Dave and Joanna are both lovely people, and as Joanna says about her first meeting with Dave, “Before I knew it I had fallen madly in love with him.” They are considered one of London’s shining new social couples. (Did you see them at the London Fashion Shows on telly?)

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
I’m a little sad this month for SALLY FARMILOE-NEVILLE, my dear friend, deputy editor and editor of our lovely Celebrity Fashion, Fitness & Beauty page. Sally’s father passed on recently and she was very close to him. Being such a professional, I don’t believe she’s ever missed her column; why I’ve even had her call when she’s been in bed suffering with the flu, but understandably this is a really difficult time for her, and I know I speak for all of us at HOT GOSSIP when I say that our thoughts are with her and her family at this time. Sally will be back updating her page next month.

Here’s a nice little picture of Sally and our friends, which I took with my new Olympus digital camera.

Thumbs Down!
Talking of Olympus cameras, I’m not very happy that I have to buy a camera case because they don’t sell them with the purchase. And what’s more they charged me £20.00 for an upgrade so I could use the camera with web based design. Cheek! You don’t expect to have to upgrade when you’ve only had it a few hours.

Thumbs Up!
I’ve just discovered, after all this time, the fun of dropping by on eBay www.eBay.co.uk  where you can buy and sell just about anything. Somebody was even selling a packet of chewing gum, honest! It’s so much fun, but beware of buying from the American site www.ebay.com if the member is new and has no feedback.

Don’t forget to read our pages this month; pop by to see what our crime editor Jacquieline Davis is writing about, and Mark, our music ed, who has just come back from America with all the music industry gossip. And of course all our other lovely eds. And please read a message from our sponsor (below). If you would like to advertise with Hot Gossip, please let us know by contacting either myself or James Knight, our publisher.

That’s it for this month!

See you soon

Editor in Chief
