Dear Mary: Tatler’s editor asks how to cope with her new-found fame

From Kate Reardon, Tatler

Q. I recently took part (some might say ‘starred’) in a highly acclaimed BBC2 fly-on-the-wall documentary series. I must admit I rather enjoyed being centre of attention, followed at all times by a production crew and constantly being asked my opinion on an exciting array of topics. How can I adjust back to real life with an absence of cameras and a sneaking suspicion that I may not be quite as fascinating as I thought?

A. While the publicity is still cresting, why not hire an intern to film and interview you each day, then edit and post the results onto a YouTube channel? In this way you could help a film-world wannabe get started on a career while continuing to receive the bogus morale-boosting the attention will give you.
