Paloma Palaver
She may be a deceitful and duplicitous DJ and she may be happy to let mistakes about her age go unchecked, but Paloma isn’t a full blown fake. It seems that her rather ‘particular’ style has been long-seated, as a reader tell us:

“Way back, around 2003 or so, Paloma Faith used to live in a flatshare with Shingai Shoniwa from the Noisettes and another girl, a very glamorous designer type. They had a place somewhere achingly cool in Dalston and I have never seen so many clothes in one apartment – rails and rails of insane gear upstairs, fur coats, enormous frocks and hats, it was like a festival had vomited on the stairs.
“The bathroom was always, constantly, full of ridiculous Agent Provocateur underwear drying everywhere and they had a selection of louche pot-smoking boys decorating the place.
“I can confirm that Paloma’s particular brand of weirdness dates back to her pre-fame days. She always dressed like cross between a care home and a couture show and spoke in that weird little-girl voice, but she’s generally very nice and deserves to do well.
“Surprised to hear she’s only 28 though, I thought she was about my age (32).”

FF is not the only one who thinks she’s even older than 28 (even though the press seem to have it in their heads that she’s 24).
