Born: 1980 Height: 1m 72 Weight: 51 kg

Hometown: London job: Snowboarder and model

Charlotte Dutton has two jobs. Half the year she's a top model in Europe, and
the other half she's a professional snowboarder in Canada. Here she talks about
the problems of having two careers.
'I love modelling and snowboarding,' she says, 'but I have to be two
5 different people! You need muscles to be a snowboarder, but you have to
be slim to be a model. When I'm modelling I can't eat anything fattening. But
in the mountains it's freezing, so you have to eat protein,
cakes and chocolate, for the jumps and turns, you have
to be strong. Snowboarding is sometimes dangerous,
10 and I often fall. But I have to be careful because
I can't break my leg and then go to Paris to
model the best skirts. It's funny
half the year I have to wear
warm baggy clothes and a
15' crash helmet. Then I go to
Europe for a season,
and I have to wear
beautiful designer clothes.' Does
she want to be a top
20 international model or an Olympic
snowboarder? The answer is she
wants to do both ... but when
she's much older, she dreams
of living in a bakery and
25 eating cakes all day!
