A few months ago, I got an email from a media agent at Medavia (Cosmo, Look, Now etc) asking if he could do an interview with me to ask about various aspects of my life, to sell stuff to magazines as articles for money. After I had said no (twice), he agreed to leave me alone, but still emails me with requests from magazines to see if I am interested. I will now share one of these emails with you now, as they are quite something.-----
