The Story.
As a world class super-model for the last twenty years Jodie has graced the covers of the world’s top fashion magazines. Alongside her successful modelling career, she is also an accomplished polo player, golfer and
racing driver – she won the Maserati Trofeo Pro-AM race in Bologna, in a torrential downpour.
"When modeling I have to be very conscious of my hands, it’s easy when you’re working to forget them, which is a mistake, you have to stay
focused to ensure they remain looking natural and relaxed.”
Whilst her love of sports requires precise hand to eye co-ordination, perfect timing and strength, her hands are also reliant on the softest of touches.
“When playing polo I’m acutely aware that I’m controlling half a ton of emotional animal and more or less 100% of my communication with it is through my hands. Racing is in a way very similar, whilst I need strength to control the car, the wheel responds to lightest of movements that need to be both fast and precise.”
Brought up in the country, her hands have taken quite a battering, with broken fingers and thumbs being a part of everyday life. Her three star
tattoo represents Barbados where she has spent much of her life.
