Interesting story in the latest Ansible:

Diana Wynne Jones was subjected to ruthless house style when attempting to promote her new The Merlin Conspiracy: `Publicity for this book seems to involve being photographed an unusual number of times -- usually the same local photographer appearing with a different hat on and a different book of rules. Did you know that the Daily Mail insists that all women have to be photographed in a skirt? And not in black. I had to buy a skirt.'

I've heard that about the Mail elsewhere, but I've got this horrible feeling I'm going to actually have to look at the Mail properly to confirm this...
