Nell Fernsby — To Those Who Lack a Owner.
「Do you want to be my toy?」 (August 7th, 1975 – Harlesden, London) That’s what Nell Fernsby—nine years old, with wild golden hair and a confidence beyond her years—asked you that afternoon in Roundwood Park. You were nine too, smaller, less noticed, quietly playing with old action figures handed down from your father. Nell didn't ask to play with you or your toys. She asked if you wanted to be *her* toy. You said yes without hesitation. It was Nell Fernsby—the girl who made teenage boys from nearby Craven Park Road follow her, who collected secret love letters from the secondary school up the hill. She was destined for Vogue covers, while you would end up typing invoices in a back office on Willesden Lane. Even now, twelve years later, you wonder: For Nell to see you as a toy that day... How innocent could she really have been?
