Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward of "Thunderbirds" fame was a blue-blooded It Girl long before the likes of Tara Rara-Bonkington. The multilingual supermodel and heiress was International Rescue's London agent and, it was often thought, Jeff Tracy's bit of posh. She recruited safecracker Aloysius "Nosey" Parker to drive her pink Rolls Royce FAB1 and assist her with her secret agent duties - oh what I would give for a man in uniform to call me "Bilady". Lady P is always immaculately turned out, and the epitome of style, although she was criticised for smoking. Everything worth knowing about Lady P is in her Wikipedia entry, and as we all know, if it's on Wikipedia, it must be true. It is rumoured that Lady Diana modelled herself to a great degree on Lady Penelope, and on that fateful last weekend was in Paris trying to source a bottle of Milady's favourite perfume, "Un soupçon de péril".
