Here is an Interview with Leah True from the Utterly Fabulous Magazine on Winning the Alternative Miss London Contest 2001

Q. What did it feel like to win Alternative Miss London Contest?
A. Exhilarating! Literally a dream come true and quite a surprise. But to tell youthe truth after the heats I was exhausted.

Q. Did you think you would win?
A. No! I thought I might make the top three ( I had been planning it for a year after all) and as I always say, "Piss poor planning equals piss poor prizes."

Q. Have you had many official engagements, such as kissing babies and opening supermarkets?
A. Yes, seven Quick Save's and a Poundstretcher! But I'm sadly allergic to nappies.

Q. Your prize was a holiday in Ibiza, did you enjoy yourself?
A. Absolutely, it did rain somewhat, but it's a fabulous place and we all had a blast in Ibiza Old Town.

Q. Apparatently you took another six friends with you, has Ibiza recovered yet?
A. Not completely. We definitely left our mark and everyone loved it, which is why we are returning later this year with 'Respect Holidays'.

Q. What tips would you give to other girls who are going to enter Alternative Miss London this year?
A. Pre-plan your routine and try to think of something original and eye-catching (and if all else fails, flirt with the judges!).

Q. Will you ever re-enter?
A. No! As I believe in giving others a chance plus I'm getting on a bit (I believe I am the oldest winner to date!).

Q. Was there any bitchyness back stage?
A. None at all. The girls were great and only too willing to help one another.

Q. As a beauty queen do you have a message to others?
A. World Peace of course! But also just to be the best that you can be, have fun and be safe.

Q. What would you say to girls out there who are new to the scene and maybe a little nervous?
A. Use professional services and believe me, you will gain the confidence and skills you need to face the world with your head held high. Just take a look at my Image Works pictures - they really boost a girls confidence.

Here is an exerpt from an article with Leah True and her partner Sue About their Relationship

Sue is one amazing lady... Senior nurse, rock chick, club babe and partner to Leah True. Leah in her own right is one amazing Tranny. Designer, photographer, perfectionist and believe it or not all male (not a milligram of hormone or surgical body enhancements).

Sue and Leah are regulars at many of the clubs and events around the UK. They are one of those, all too few, couples that bring a shining light to any occassion because of their joy in everybody and everything around them and the very obvious joy they find in each other.

Leah won an Image Works photoshoot and was featured on the cover on the first Utterly Fabulous magazine. She has subsequently been featured on the cover and in a number of features in possibly the worlds leading TG lifestyle magazine 'Repartee'. In the same magazine Sue writes the 'Girl Talk' page corresponding with many 'Roses group' female partners dishing out very sound common sense...
