Its Rosanna Illustrated... Former Miss World and all-round headline maker Rosanna Davison has ditched her beloved eye-liner pencil and picked-up a HB graded pencil. For Rosie Dee has a bit of an artist trapped inside her clamouring to get out, so she's only gone and illustrated Marisa Mackle's new book 'The Girl in the Yellow Dress'... Rosanna Davison When we caught-up with newly 26 year old Rosanna Davison at Dubray books on Grafton Street yesterday she looked as if she was strolling to yet another modelling assignment in her mirror-lens Aviator sunglasses... Rosanna Davison But in fact the Marrakesh maiden was off to meet with her public for a wee book signing after drawing all the pictures (or illustrations for the more booky of you out there) for Irish author Marisa Mackle's new offering: 'The Girl in the Yellow Dress'. Marisa Mackle, Rosanna Davison And you know what folks? Having been in this business a whole decade, we're kinda disappointed our round-peg-in-a-round-hole PR types didn't see an obvious media coup yesterday. Surely if they had of dressed our Rosie in a big yellow dress they would have made the jobs of our ever so talented journos much easier? Duh. Marisa Mackle Sure all yer wan has to do normally to grab a headline or two is throw on a red dress and the newspapers sing from the rooftops the following day: "Rosanna IS the Lady in Red". Genius. Marisa Mackle, Layla Kenny (7, Dublin), Rosanna Davison Annyhoo, Rosie and Marisa gave-up their Sunday lunches yesterday to meet and greet young fans of Miss Mackle's authorings and introduce them to Miss Davison's newly found delicate touch with a pencil and a rubber... Erm sorry, eraser. Marisa Mackle, Rosanna Davison Rosanna & Marisa (or 'Rosisa' as they are now known collectively) are currently turning-up in bookshops all over the place promoting their conjoined effort. So look out for them and this wee book in all good book stores. Rosanna Davison We still think she should have worn a yellow dress... Just a suggestion. No biggie! Everyone chillax. Just sayin' that's all.

Seamus is already camped out in his sleeping bag outside the Drogheda Easons. NYJimmy – NY April 28, 2010 - 02:10 I am astonished by the way you Irish dote on this Barbie-doll booje illustrator who looks like she's wearing more makeup than Michael Jackson. My sister came back from Dublin recently and she couldn't believe how cheap and sxxtty all the Irish girls look. This is saying a lot because mu-y sister looks like a beep. Leo Burdock – Dublin April 27, 2010 - 23:12 I love you Rosanna! I'd like to batter your fish! UCD Arts Graduate – Dublin April 27, 2010 - 21:37 Not the UCD Arts debate again! Let's all just move on please. Has nobody anything to say about Ricky Gevais post above? Commentator – online April 27, 2010 - 21:25 The only thing a UCD Arts degree is indicative of is an ability to flip burgers. The same applies to Social Science and "Gommerce" degrees from the same institution. Aoife Mary April 27, 2010 - 17:37 Comment Removed on Request. Seamus's stalker – Dublin April 27, 2010 - 17:16 EVERYONE in Dublin??? U mean every single person in Dublin's talking about this? LOL. Amore Amie – Dublin Town April 27, 2010 - 16:52 Cathy I can't see why your comment was removed. Surely even the author knows that everyone in Dublin is thinking the exact same. It is the truth, it's basic good business sense, where is the shame in that? Rosanna does look lovely in these pictures. Model A1 – Dublin April 27, 2010 - 15:20 we're BOTH in drogheda.......... do the math. dolly April 27, 2010 - 14:19 All these women are hair extensions mad,,,i see Pippa O'Connor got them in now www.youtube.com Where's Seamus? – Dublin April 27, 2010 - 14:16 And Model A1??!? I kinda miss them. Cathy – Dublin April 27, 2010 - 13:43 Amore Amie my comment inferred exactly the same but it was removed on request someone obviously doesnt like hearing the truth its painfully obvious why this collaboration has been done Amore Amie – Dublin Town April 27, 2010 - 12:39 Good move on Marissa's part to get a more famous person to illustrate her book and therefore get the badly needed publicity. Very Good move indeed MediaMugle – is that you Ray? April 27, 2010 - 09:54 Well done Rosanna, keep up the good work. Yellow Lady April 27, 2010 - 08:58 The book signing in Drogheda will be done in the presence of snipers who will be deployed on the roof looking for anybody who looks ashamed! Kate – Dublin April 27, 2010 - 05:52 Good one, Secret Lady! Bet Seamus will be in the Drogheda queue wearing a cap pulled down over his face cos he's too ashamed to admit he's Rosana's biggest fan!! SonOfSeamus – Dublin April 27, 2010 - 01:13 There's an old saying that "Those who can't do, write books for children" Oirish Moike – Dublin April 27, 2010 - 00:22 I think Rosanna may be the only woman in Ireland who doesn't look like an absolute slapper! Sometimes she does, but usually not. Secret Lady April 27, 2010 - 00:14 I see that Rosanna is doing a book signing in Drogheda this week. I wonder if Seamus will be too ashamed to show up? Commentator – online April 26, 2010 - 22:11 A woman wearing a leather jacket over a dress is about as classy as a man wearing an anorak over a suit. Kate – Dublin April 26, 2010 - 21:10 I like the picture of Rosana and Marisa with the little girl. So cute! Cathy – Dublin April 26, 2010 - 16:50 Comment Removed on Request. Maria – Dublin April 26, 2010 - 16:36 Rosanna doing a book signing. Now there's a new one! What is she going to try next?? MediaMogul – Dublin April 26, 2010 - 16:11 Is there no end to Rosanna's talent??? This woman is amazing!!!!
