Kate Lawler/Shout Out Louds/How I Live Now

Kate Lawler



Kate Lawler, big brother winner, tv presenter, celebrity wrestler, ann summers model, and now if her website is anything to go by, Dj?!
I went to see Kate when she was a presenter on the ill fated RI:SE on Channel 4, this meant being in a studio above a shopping centre somewhere in London pre 6am! I was amongst a number of that years big brother evictees and was witness to both Kate’s great legs and her quite frankly dismal capacity to present. At one point my head was visible between Kate’s and the other presenter head in a lingering close up. apparently a friend of mines sister was watching RI:SE in the gym and promptly fell off the running machine on seeing me.

It tells the story of Daisy, who having been sent away to live in the country in England becomes wrapped up in an exceptional journey of self discovery amidst a worn torn Britain, struggling to stay alive, find food and protect her new young friends. It also deals with loss and creates some of the most understated yet poignant relationships put to print.
