Its Rosanna Illustrated...

Former Miss World and all-round headline maker Rosanna Davison has ditched her beloved eye-liner pencil and picked-up a HB graded pencil. For Rosie Dee has a bit of an artist trapped inside her clamouring to get out, so she's only gone and illustrated Marisa Mackle's new book 'The Girl in the Yellow Dress'...

When we caught-up with newly 26 year old Rosanna Davison at Dubray books on Grafton Street yesterday she looked as if she was strolling to yet another modelling assignment in her mirror-lens Aviator sunglasses...

But in fact the Marrakesh maiden was off to meet with her public for a wee book signing after drawing all the pictures (or illustrations for the more booky of you out there) for Irish author Marisa Mackle's new offering: 'The Girl in the Yellow Dress'.

And you know what folks? Having been in this business a whole decade, we're kinda disappointed our round-peg-in-a-round-hole PR types didn't see an obvious media coup yesterday. Surely if they had of dressed our Rosie in a big yellow dress they would have made the jobs of our ever so talented journos much easier? Duh.

Sure all yer wan has to do normally to grab a headline or two is throw on a red dress and the newspapers sing from the rooftops the following day: "Rosanna IS the Lady in Red". Genius.

Annyhoo, Rosie and Marisa gave-up their Sunday lunches yesterday to meet and greet young fans of Miss Mackle's authorings and introduce them to Miss Davison's newly found delicate touch with a pencil and a rubber... Erm sorry, eraser.

Rosanna & Marisa (or 'Rosisa' as they are now known collectively) are currently turning-up in bookshops all over the place promoting their conjoined effort. So look out for them and this wee book in all good book stores.

We still think she should have worn a yellow dress... Just a suggestion. No biggie! Everyone chillax. Just sayin' that's all.
