| Biography:
Katie Price (Jordan).
Katie Price was born on May 22nd, 1978, and grew up in the seaside town of
Brighton in Sussex, England. The decision to embark on a modeling career
came after a friend suggested a session with a professional photographer.
The pictures were sent to an agency in London and to her astonishment, she
was invited to participate in a photo shoot.
During her foray into show business, Katie Price, a.k.a. Jordan, has proven
once again that the right physical dimensions and an unabashed willingness
to flaunt, tease and strip for the camera are all that's required to achieve
fame and fortune. Following in the footsteps of other aspirant British girls
determined not to let a lack of talent impede the way to stardom, Jordan
rose to fame in 1996, after being featured on the infamous Page 3 in the
London-based Sun newspaper. She has since become a staple of British
tabloids, only now she makes headlines rather than simply posing next to
them.
We could hold Katie Price in contempt for representing the worst of show
business and celebrity. Instead we choose to reward her for not being
ashamed of who she is: a young girl from a small town who dared to dream the
impossible dream and take her clothes off in an attempt to launch a
lucrative career in the modeling and recording industries. Bravo! She has
displayed amazing resilience in the face of the ravenous English press,
staving them off with guile and wit. Many a young glamour model would have
caved in years ago. |
