‘The Steeple Times’ asks society hair stylist Paollo Sagherah: “What’s on your mantelpiece?”
The Steeple Times shares “wit and wisdom”. What’s your guiding force?
Party, party, party.
“Don’t get even, get medieval” is, in our humble opinion, a great motto. What’s yours?
Sometimes in life you have to go American Psycho to get s**t done.
Kerry Katona was considered unacceptable in 2007. Who or what is unacceptable in 2015?
Russell Brand.
Tony Blair misses being Prime Minister. What do you miss most in your life?
My mum (who lives in Brazil).
What might you swap all your wealth for?
No chance, I’m keeping it.
Donald Trump was once a case of: “If you owe the bank a thousand, they close you down; but if you owe the bank a billion, you own the bank”. What’s your view on the banking crisis?
The overriding priority must be to maintain London as of the world’s strongest financial centres. Miliband would have been a disaster.
What phrase or word do you most loathe?
“Can I get?” instead of “Please may I have?”
In the UK, some people consider charity to “begin at home”. What’s your view and what causes do you personally support?
There are great charities in the UK but I feel that £1 spent in the third world, spent properly, alleviates more acute suffering than £1 spent here. So, I prefer to give to overseas charities, particularly those focused on children.
The judge in Law Abiding Citizen states: “I can pretty much do whatever I want” before being blown up whilst answering her mobile phone. What’s your view on the appropriate use of such devices?
Checking and answering messages while with a friend is the height of bad manners. I cannot stand such behaviour.
If you could fill a carriage on The Orient Express, who would be your fellow passengers?
My boyfriend, my mum and 200 young men in tight white shorts.
If you were unfortunate enough to end up on death row, what would be your last meal and where would you eat it?
A blow out at Scott’s .
What time is it acceptable to consume the first drink of the day?
11am in the best time to open the first bottle of champagne of the day.
A Negroni, a martini or a cup of tea?
A Negroni: Strict ratio 2:1:1: gin, vermouth and Campari. Serve straight up in martini glass with twist of orange peel.
Whose parties do you enjoy the most and why?
My parties are pretty cool.
Who is the most positive person you know?
It is not me: I am relentlessly negative.
What’s your most guilty pleasure?
Nesquik chocolate milk: It is like taking valium for me.
If a tattoo were to sum you up, what would it be of?
Big hair.
If you were a car, what marque would you be?
Something big, black and chauffeur driven.
Cilla Black presented Surprise, Surprise. Tell us the most surprising thing about you.

Some fantastic invitations.
