Warning To British Women
Lying about your age could send you to jail.
AN aspiring model who shaved eight years off her age in a bid to make it big in America narrowly escaped jail today.
Brit Saskia Porter, then 35, was convinced she had to recapture her late 20s at least on paper if the Hollywood job offer she had received was to going to become a signed contract.
Excited by the prospect it might also lead to presenting a television show, she lost little time forging her birth certificate and changing 1971 into 1979.
Porter then used it to get a replacement passport, telling the authorities her dog had dined on her old one, London’s Southwark Crown Court heard.
Yes, what she did is both criminal and foolish - she is not my cup of tea, but she is by no means hard to look at. Besides, if she really was worried about her age, she should have said that she was 50 or so - then she would have impressed the producers with how young she looked. (By the way, my wife looked at her picture and said: "She's 36?" Porter was worried about nothing.)

Whoa! I definitely agree - she did not need to lie about her age!
