I was surfing around on t'net one day, when I saw a link to a Pringles tv ad. "Hmm, I wonder if they have my old Pringles ad that I was in when I was 12?" I thought, and did another search.

Lo and behold, please:

I have never actually seen this ad before. Although it was made in Britain it was only ever shown in the US. Perhaps because it's complete gobshite. Anyway, I'm very clearly the funny blue-haired girl at the end, and I'm also the jester, and one of the Egyptian girls at the beginning, and I swear I remember dressing up as a pirate, too, and being hoisted up some rigging, but I don't think that's there. Which is just as well, cos I remember the striped tights I had to wear very clearly.

Man, it brings it all back. That blonde-haired boy's name was Mark, and I think the boy playing the king to my jester was called Mario. It took three days to make in a studio in Clapham, London, and my chaperone (it was mandatory) was an unemployed friend of my dad, who spent his time there chatting to the dance choreographer, Floyd. Yes, the Egyptian dance was choreographed, and there were 3 stylists/make-up artists and safety experts and blue screens and loads of people running around the cavernous set. At the end of it, I got my first outbreak of teenage spots from all the stage make-up and spotlights and stress. Funny to think that the £3000 I got for it then I'm living off now, in Tokyo!
