6-20.txt - An interview from a Japanese magazine, kindly translated by Ono.
April 15, it was rarely very clear in London. We visited to Gail Mckenna's flat.
She lives on the third floor of a block of flats in London. We pushed the button
at the door, and "Hello" said Gail. "This is DICK from Tokyo" we said. And the
door was opened with her voice "Please". Gail with everyday clothes came to meet
us. She wore cafeful makeup for DICK and was beautiful like a doll. We sit on
the couch and "Tea or coffee" said Gail. How good the tea she made was. And
then we asked her several questions.
DICK; What made you start your modelling?
Gail; When I graduated from the high school, a friend of mine who was
assistant to a cameraman took my pictures for fun and sent them to the agent.
Then I was soon offered work.
D; How did you feel when you were nude for the first time.
G; I remember I was shaking. I felt like running out.
D; When did your bust start to grow bigger?
G; About fifteen years old. Suddenly jumping out.
D; Suddenly jumping out.... That's strange.
G; Really. Jumping out day by day.
D; How do you feel when your big bust is stared at?
G; Because I pretend to be ignorant....
D; Don't you mind those things?
G; Yes. But there is no way what I can, is it?
D; What do you have advantage of your big bust?
G; I have more disadvantages. It's hard to choose clothes, sometimes
I am made fun of by strange men and...
D; How long do you keep modeling?
G; Probably, two more years.
D; Will you be a singer like Samantha Fox?
G; I'd like to be an actress.
D; Will you appear on hardcore video in last two years?
G; No!! If I were offered a million pound, I think... No!!
D; Well, your dream is to be an actress...
G; I want to get an Oscar. And to be a millionaire, and to live in
Beverley Hills.
Shining of her eyes when she said she wanted to get an Oscar was impressive.
I was lost admiration again. Though I was surprised that she wanted to be a
millionaire.
D; Have you appeared in any videos?
G; I have appeared on pop video, the name of Magnam of heavy metal. Only that.
D; How many jobs do you have now?
G; On average two or three days in a week. About fifteen days in a month.
D; What do you do with yourself leaving half a month?
G; Swimming, taking a walk,...like them. The rest shopping at a supermarket,
and almost sleeping.
D; You might be noticed when you were shopping. What were you doing then?
G; Nobody noticed me when I put my hair up and I'm without makeup. If I am talked
to, I will answer.
D; What about your present business do you think?
G; Well,..(after consideration) I am dissatisfied with lack of satisfaction
with having finished the job.
D; What is the hang about getting along with the company?
G; That is a easy thing. Don't trust too much.
D; What about cameraman?
G; Much the same. Because many are dirty.
Not only she but also many other models hate cameramen.What a lot who
make models fall to a prey! It's surprising.
D; Who is the cameraman do you like?
G; The Sun's Beverly Goodway and Harry Omesher. Only two.
D; Please tell me your private things a little. First, what about boy friend?
G; Only one. He lives in Manchester.
D; When did you lose your virginity?
G; Sixteen. With a boy friend at his dormitory. He was seventeen.
D; Do you like sex?
G; Don't you like sex?
D; I want you to answer anyway.
G; Of course I like sex.
D; You are sleeping when you have a day off, aren't you?
G; (She is giggling)
D; What kind of man do you like?
G; Slim and muscular sportsman. But I don't like such an American football.
D; What about marriage?
G; I have not ever thought about. But I don't know if I grow older.
D; How do you feel about these magazines (Majo Club '88/2, '89/2)?
G; Although I have seen for the first time, these are very beautiful. But
why do you mix old pictures and new ones? It's no less than three years ago.
D; I'm sorry. I will go back and make a complaint to the chief editor.
G; Surely. My hair is so much longer now.
D; For the last please send a message to Japanese fans.
G; I am moved to know there are many fans in Japan. I want to visit to Japan
if I have a chance. When I visit to Japan, please welcome me. Please send me
fan letters because I always answer them by myself. And then I like Mickey
Mouse very much. I'm glad if you send me Mickey Mouse of Disneyland in Japan.
Her car is Polo by VW. "I want Benz but too expensive to buy" said Gail.
"I like reading the biography of successful rich person" said Gail. Her life
is very simple and she is sleeping when she is off.
I wish she will be as busy as she can't have a day off and have a rich life.
It's interesting to see that Gail was stimulating interest way back in the late 80s,
particularly in that she wanted to get into acting etc. She's made it onto TV at least!
