Alice and Josie are looking back at the inspirational women they’ve interviewed in this series so far, and are talking about International Women’s Day. With it being awards season and the Oscars coming up, they’re discussing their love of movies and Alice’s continued love affair with the Barbie movie and her Oscar favourite, Poor Things. Our guest, Denise Parkinson is no stranger to the red carpet and, in fact, often gets to watch a movie a day. A marketing guru in the Film Industry, Denise is a Bafta voter and regularly rubs shoulders with the likes of Christopher Nolan and Julianne Moore. She shares her Oscars gossip, plus her red carpet routine, from shopping for her glamorous dresses in charity shops and TK Max, to her daily yoga classes. Denise who is often too busy to think about jewellery is never without her precious old-school Omega watch and her diamond studs. Her special keepsakes include her lanyards from the Apollo 11 anniversary at Nasa and the gorgeous brooches she wears with her handbags on the red carpet.

One of life’s survivors, Denise is living life to the fullest and doing some extreme travelling whilst her knees are good, from Machu Pichu to Everest basecamp to trecking in Bhutan. She says her life hack is to adopt an ‘I Tonya’ like mentality and to stay hungry. And also 'to keep on keeping on'.
