Mandy: I started dressing around 5 years of age, trying on the girls coats in nursery. Question: Describe your early experiences dressing as a girl.

Mandy: I didn’t start using make-up until I left home, aged 17 Once I started ,though, I seemed to know what to do straight away , whether I had sub-consciously watched my mother and sister , or because I am an artist , I don’t know.
