An Irish Queen

Selina understands bananas, and they understand her

It ought to be enough to post this photo and leave it at that. Does Selina really need a commentary?

Maybe Selina regretted not wearing her signature canary yellow today. Maybe she just likes bananas. But whatever it was that drew her to them, we had to take a picture. We just know she is more interested in their colour than their taste. She is not so much looking at them as communing with them.

And what was Selina wearing today? Venetian trading beads, of course, purchased in Ghana and threaded into necklaces and bracelets by Selina herself. And a silk green top, shortened by the lady in question, to fit her needs, and no-one else's. The bottom half of her outfit was muted: washed blue linen trousers and the lime green shoes featured in her famous fuschia outfit.

But more important than all of this was the activity - or lack of it - on Selina's earlobes...

Because one is enough

Yes, that's right - Selina was only wearing one earring - in this case a beautiful beaded example purchased in her much loved Zimbabwe - or 'Zim', as she likes to call it.

"Selina - why are you only wearing one earring?", we asked.

"Because I only have one ear pierced", came the simple yet ludic reply. 

If that little exchange doesn't sum up the Selina enigma then I don't know what does.

Now for the bottom part of the outfit:

SELINA SAYS: "Blue and green should ne'er be seen, except upon an Irish queen". Quite.
