Sugababes star Jade Ewen does the highland fling as she models tartan lingerie for new Miss Ultimo collection

 

She's been the face, and body, of Miss Ultimo for the past year, but this is surely Jade Ewen's sexiest shoot to date.

 

The 23-year-old Sugababes star sizzles as she models a variety of pretty and flirty lingerie which form part of the Miss Ultimo Valentine's collection.

 

As well as sticking to traditional red underwear, Jade also pays tribute to her part-Scottish roots in the Highland Fling two-piece set, featuring tartan detailing and a cute frill on the bottom.

 

 

Talking about the new collection, Jade, who is dating EastEnders star Ricky Norwood, said: 'I love the new Miss Ultimo Valentine’s collection. It’s really pretty and lots of fun, perfect for celebrating the most romantic day of the year.

 

'There’s nothing quite like sexy underwear to say “I love you†and to woo your lady. My boyfriend has never been brave enough to buy me lingerie, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this year.’

Who cares! :hubba:

Some hae meat and canna eat,

And some wad eat that want it;

But we hae meat, and we can eat,

And sae let the Lord be thankit.

 

This is the Selkirk Grace, which will be recited before the meal at hundreds, nae thousands, of Burns Suppers around the world tonight.

 

"Although attributed to Burns, the Selkirk Grace was already known in the 17th century, as the "Galloway Grace" or the "Covenanters' Grace". It came to be called the Selkirk Grace because Burns was said to have delivered it at a dinner given by the Earl of Selkirk."

And when the haggis is brought to the table but before it is served someone will recite the Address To a Haggis.

 

Address To a Haggis

 

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,

Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!

Aboon them a' ye tak your place,

Painch, tripe, or thairm:

Weel are ye wordy o' a grace

As lang's my arm.

 

The groaning trencher there ye fill,

Your hurdies like a distant hill,

Your pin wad help to mend a mill

In time o' need,

While thro' your pores the dews distil

Like amber bead.

 

His knife see rustic Labour dicht,

An' cut you up wi' ready slicht,

Trenching your gushing entrails bricht,

Like ony ditch;

And then, O what a glorious sicht,

Warm-reekin, rich!

 

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an' strive:

Deil tak the hindmaist! on they drive,

Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve,

Are bent like drums;

Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,

"Bethankit" hums.

 

Is there that o're his French ragout

Or olio that wad staw a sow,

Or fricassee wad mak her spew

Wi' perfect scunner,

Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view

On sic a dinner?

 

Poor devil! see him ower his trash,

As feckless as a wither'd rash,

His spindle shank, a guid whip-lash,

His nieve a nit;

Thro' bloody flood or field to dash,

O how unfit!

 

But mark the Rustic, haggis fed,

The trembling earth resounds his tread.

Clap in his wallie nieve a blade,

He'll mak it whistle;

An' legs an' arms, an' heads will sned,

Like taps o' thristle.

 

Ye Pow'rs wha mak mankind your care,

And dish them out their bill o' fare,

Auld Scotland wants nae skinkin ware

That jaups in luggies;

But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer,

Gie her a haggis!

 

At the line "His knife see rustic Labour dicht" the speaker normally draws and cleans a knife, and at the line "An' cut you up wi' ready slicht", plunges it into the haggis and cuts it open from end to end.
