"I like to not take myself too seriously. That's who I am as a person. I like to have fun. I wouldn't want someone to think I'm a bit pretentious or posey." -- Jade-Marie Merchent, fashion designer.

Don't pose

"No respectable person poses for a Tinder profile photo. You have pictures taken of you and then you select them. I think my Bumble picture is me in Monaco in front of Casino Royale and I'm like: "What up?" with a Ferrari behind me." -- Delia Bennett, growth manager.
