ARE you a ladette who longs to be a lady? Do you always wear jeans and drink pints with the boys, but secretly long to put on a frock and quaff champagne?

To mark the arrival of the award-winning musical My Fair Lady, Living has joined forces with The Mayflower theatre and John Lewis to carry out our own Pygmalion transformation.

Our lucky winner will:

  • Have their hair done at VK Hair Design
  • Be transformed with a Bobbi Brown make-up session
  • Get to choose and own an outfit from John Lewis worth £150
  • Arrive in style at The Mayflower with a chauffeur-driven limo from Jeeves of Hampshire picking you up from home
  • Attend a performance of My Fair Lady with three friends sharing your own personal box

The makeover will take place on Thursday, July 6, and you will be photographed for a feature in the Living section. After the transformation is complete you will be whisked to the theatre that evening to see the Cameron Mackintosh production.

To be in with a chance of winning this wonderful prize, all you have to do is tell us why you would like to be transformed from a ladette to a lady. Mark your competition entry Ladette to a Lady and post your entry, together with a recent photograph of yourself, to Bernadette Price, Mayflower Theatre, 22-26 Commercial Road, Southampton, SO15 1GE.

Alternatively, you can e-mail your entry, complete with a recent photo of yourself, to Bernadette.price@mayflower.org.uk.

The competition closing date is June 16, 2006.

Tickets for My Fair Lady (July 4-22) are available on The Mayflower hotline (023) 8071 1811, online at www.the-mayflower.com or in person from Mayflower ticket south, at WestQuay shopping centre, Southampton.
