Absolut ely Fabulous: Sue Bradbury loves impersonating Joanna Lumley

絶対 Fabulous: 告訴する Bradbury loves impersonating Joanna Lumley

I adore this career, because I get flown all over the place and 扱う／治療するd brilliantly. I was a Lucie Clayton model in the Sixties, and I've also 行為／法令／行動するd, so my life has mirrored Joanna's? -? we even sound the same.

Even when I don't have my outrageous Patsy make-up on, people approach me in the street and say: 'Aren't you Joanna Lumley?'

I do a lot of work for Virgin, 飛行機で行くing to America and Europe, and I'm often in Spain, where the expats love Joanna.

I 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 £450 an 遠出? -? more if I 飛行機で行く abroad? -? and all my expenses. In a good year I can （不足などを）補う to £40,000 from my lookalike work.

Last week began with an unusual event? -? a 黒人／ボイコット-tie do for the SAS!

It was at their HQ and there were hundreds of people there. But I don't get nervous any more. Once I'm in Patsy's war-paint, I 落ちる straight into character.

I walked up to officers, 匂いをかぐd their necks and said: 'Ah, testosterone, my favourite aftershave!' Which went 負かす／撃墜する 井戸／弁護士席.

On Wednesday I 始める，決める off for two 約束／交戦s? -? one was a wedding in Lancashire, the next a 私的な party for a 豊富な man in Scotland.

I had no idea the people getting 'married' were a gay couple. When I walked into a packed 歓迎会, the male 'bride' 急ぐd up to me and said: 'Patsy, darling! You're here!'?

The 私的な party was held at a baronial hall, and I'd been 調書をとる／予約するd because the host adores Joanna. It went 負かす／撃墜する terribly 井戸／弁護士席. Everyone was in fits of laughter when I strolled into the 製図／抽選 room dressed as Patsy, with my 抱擁する handbag. I pull 支え（る）s out of it, like a 抱擁する 洗浄器／皮下注射／浣腸器 which I say is for Botox.
