Beatrice and Paul

Linda & Stella, 1990s

“I’ve got an idea cook­ing,” [McCartney] says. “When I knew the title for the album would be New, I got this little vision – you know, like you get waking up in the morning – of me in front of a forest in a checked shirt, kind of lumber jack-y, just like I’m having my picture taken by a neighbor. Only right next to me, with his arm around me, was a robot, this very shiny guy. So I’m working on the idea, at the moment, of having this big guy on­stage. I like the idea that I’ve got a big mate who’s a robot.”

The best reference for how the robot looks, he says, is The Iron Giant – a fa­vorite of his and Beatrice’s. To design the robot, McCartney commissioned the same firm that made the elaborate pup­pets for the stage version of War Horse. “It’s a highly speculative idea,” he says. “Why would you build a robot? Just be­cause you imagined a picture of your­self with one? But that’s what you do: You have ideas and you try to bring them to fruition. You have an idea for a song and you try to bring it through.”

He thinks for a moment. “Well, this idea has to do with newness. I’m the outdoorsman, sort of a country guy, living out in the woods…” He smiles. “But I have this friend, and he’s the modern world. In fact, he’s the future.”

— Paul McCartney in Rolling Stone, 2013

IT was a real family affair when Stella McCartney showcased her autumn/winter collection at LIPA (Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts) yesterday. ECHO Features Editor Jane Haase had a front row seat ...

“GRANDAD,” shouted the little boy in delight as he ran over to the man in the grey suit with the flowery shirt who leant down and gave him a hug.

He might be one of the most famous men in the world but he was just grandad to the toddler who wanted a cuddle.

The McCartney clan were out in force for a special fashion show by Sir Paul’s designer daughter Stella, held just a few hours before the Beatles legend rocked a 36,000 strong crowd at Anfield.

Stella had chosen to unveil her autumn/winter collection at Lipa as a celebration of the city’s Capital of Culture year.

Her children – son Miller, three; 18-month-old daughter, Bailey, and four- month- old son, Beckett – were at the family event, joined by their excited cousin (lol, aunt), four-year-old Beatrice (Sir Paul’s daughter with ex-wife Heather Mills). When not sitting with her relatives the pretty blonde-haired youngster could be seen bouncing on her father’s lap.

Photographer Mike McCartney (Paul's brother), famed for his intimate portraits of The Beatles, was snapping away inside the auditorium.

On the front row were Sir Paul, with his son James on one side and Yoko Ono on the other. Next to her was George Harrison’s widow Olivia, who was in the city for a special tribute to her late husband at FACT on Friday night, as well as Beatles producer Sir George Martin.

They were being watched more than the models on stage by some members of the audience who had paid between £100 to £500 for a ticket for the event, with all proceeds going to LIPA. One keen female fan in the balcony even had her opera glasses out and trained on the A-listers.

Badges saying “Stella” with a shape of a heart and the words “L’Pool” below were given out at the entrance to guests who included Sir Peter Blake, who designed the iconic Sgt Pepper album cover, and number one WAG Coleen McLoughlin.The same message was spelled out in silver balloons suspended from the ceiling above the stage.

Liverpool singer Candie Payne, looking stunning in a thigh- skimming black mini dress, opened the afternoon show. The singer from West Derby obviously impressed Sir Paul who was spotted taking a picture of her on his mobile phone as she performed.

The fact this was no ordinary fashion showcase was evident when the models took to the catwalk. Instead of strutting their stuff these statuesque visions in dresses of varying hues of blue, grey, black and taupe played musical chairs while tottering about in what looked like 7ins platform wedges.

Amid laughter from the 380 seater auditorium, they entered into the spirit of fun as they battled it out to the thumping beat of That’s Not Your name by the Ting Tings.

As balloons descended onto the stage (with “Uncle Mike” retrieving a heart-shaped one for Beatrice) Stella appeared with a present for the winning model and thanked everyone for coming.

She joked: “I seem to have 50,000 members of my family still in this city.”

And proud dad Sir Paul, wearing his trademark suit and trainers and a Stella badge, shouted out: “Three cheers for Stella.”

Before heading off to her father’s Liverpool Sound concert with the rest of the family, Stella explained why it was important to showcase her new fashion range at LIPA, which was co-founded by Sir Paul in 1996 in the grounds of his old school, The Liverpool Institute.

She said: “It’s been a great day, especially with the concert tonight.

“I wanted to do something for LIPA because it’s my dad’s old school and I’m very proud of what he’s done here and the way he’s made the school survive.

“This show was a lot of fun and it’s great to hold it in the Capital Culture year and do my bit for the city.”

Describing her collection as “naturally sexy, naturally confidant and modern”, she added: “I don’t design for one particular woman, but I try to pick up what I think is happening around me and on the streets.

“I don’t get a chance to spend much time in Liverpool but I think Liverpool can compete with other cities.”

And what does the acclaimed fashion designer, who counts Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow as pals as well as clients, think of Liverpool girls’ style?

“I think they are great but I would say that because I’ve got a bit of Liverpool in me,” she laughed.

The Scouse gliterrati were out in force yesterday. Former Emmerdale star Sheree Murphy, wife of footballer Harry Kewell, was there along with friends, Cricket owner and ECHO columnist Justine Mills and celebrity stylist Lorraine McCullough.

Coronation Street star Alison King, who plays Carla Connor, was among the guests as was Radio City presenter Pete Price.

Dance group Flava, who were semi finalists in the TV show Britain’s Got Talent, also performed at the event.

Stella had said she had wanted to do her bit for the city in Capital of Culture year. I think the McCartney clan certainly did that yesterday.

Hunter Davies  - Introduction - On Paul McCartney

"He has said that he is now going to do his last world tour as a performer, spread over two years, so that he can spend more time with his daughter Beatrice as she grows up. But we shall see."

And we did.

"The interview [from earlier on] was revealing, so I thought, though reading it now, Paul does come out a bit self-satisfied, while at the same time appearing to be self-aware and even self-deflating. Has he really changed all that much?"

I'd say that's pretty apt.

"Paul was the easiest to talk to. He had such energy and such keenness and, unlike John, enjoyed being liked, at least most of the time. I don't see this as a criticism. John himself could be very cruel about Paul's puppy-dog eagerness to please. The irony was, and still is, that John's awfulness to people, his rudeness and cruelty, made people like him more, whereas Paul's genuine niceness made many people suspicious, accusing him of being calculating. Paul does look ahead, seeing what might happen, working out the effect of certain actions, but he often ends up tying himself in knots, not necessarily getting what he thought he wanted. I think there is some insecurity in Paul's nature, which makes him try so hard, work so hard. It also means he can be easily hurt by criticism, which was something that just washed over John."

This also rings true for me, though of course we cannot discount John’s own ability to be hurt. But there is definitely that note in other biographies and commentaries about Paul being somehow false or two-faced because he is nice, and because he can be careful, because he is sensitive in a certain way.

Day 1 of reading Beatles RPF

On our way back home by Kathleenishereagain || 1/56

I feel like I should lay out first what I know about the Beatles. 1. They were a band in the olden days, around the 60s, I think? 2. Some of them are dead now. Some of them are not. 3. British(?) 4. Yellow Submarines.

And so, on this first day of my Beatles RPF adventure, I'm beginning with the most kudosed Beatles fic on AO3. Seemed like a good place to start. People have to like it for a reason, right? It seems to be a time travel fic where Paul McCartney (one of the alive Beatles) goes back to 1965 and. I guess he's going to do Beatles things.

It is also tagged "Paul McCartney/John Lennon", fulfilling the Beatles Yaoi part of the "getting really into Beatles yaoi" prophecy. John is one of the dead Beatles, and I know this because time-traveling Paul gets very stressed when he sees 1965 John Lennon. I've also learned that the other two Beatles are named George Harrison and Ringo Starr (and judging by how Paul reacts to seeing young Ringo, I think he's one of the alive ones as well.)

Other important things I've deduced about real life Beatles lore that will be important for reading future Beatles RPF: Paul has a wife named Nancy and a daughter named Beatrice. He was 77 in 2019, which means that in 1965, he was 23 (I think.) There is someone called Brian Epstein, who is not a Beatles but is probably important, and another guy named Neil who I know even less about than Brian. They are in England, at least in 1965.

All in all, a good chapter. I can't say I'm looking forward to chapter 2, exactly, but I'm sure that one day, I'll understand everything there is to know about Beatles yaoi.

Beatrice McCartney has attracted the attention of the public not just because of her famous father, but because of the path she has chosen for

[the-invisible-queer]

No one has to like Sophie and Priyanka

But you do have to respect them as the mothers of Joe and Nick's kids

My best example is I can't fucking stand Heather Mills (Paul McCartney's second wife) but she's Beatrice's mother so you'll never see me say anything shitty about her because I love Bea

And the same goes for the Joe hate in the Sophie fandom

Like he is still the father of her kids

And if you dislike him that's valid I'm not here to defend him to the death

But he's still the girls' dad

Never forget there are CHILDREN involved

And those kids are possibly gonna be online in the next 10-15 years and I promise they will see all the negative shit people say about their parents

So don't be a fucking dick 👍
