JAMES BROWN: She has the vote ahead of comedians Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, American rappers Beastie Boys, and the ohmobolic New Order, and I've spent a fair amount of time with both of them.

I was headed to Los Angeles to photograph something else when I discovered this striking photograph of Helen in a glossy magazine shoot, lying on a bed with her legs against a wall.

I was hoping to interview her while it was available, but she was up for it even after giving her just a week's notice. Featured: Helen posing in 1996, a Loaded cover, and James Brown in the 1990s.
