IT'S not easy to upstage flamboyant, cigar-chomping, loud-pinstriped celebrity solicitor Gerald Kean, but if anyone can do it, it's Celia Holman Lee. The veteran model agent, pictured, who charmed the nation and won TV3's Celebrity Salon last month has revealed that her next mission is to outdo Kean's over-the-top 50th birthday bash when she hits the Big Six-O in December.

Kean's ancien regime-themed party in the Ritz-Carlton was seen as the low point of Celtic Tiger excess - but Celia vows to stint nothing for what she calls her final fling.

She has already booked Aubars gastro pub on Thomas Street in Limerick and is planning to invite all the celebrity and model friends she has met and worked with over the years - about 500 of them.

The venue will be decked out to look like an old Hollywood movie set and guests will be instructed to think Hollywood glamour when choosing their outfits.

Rather than shying away from the landmark, Celia is embracing it with open arms and is already planning her gown, which she wants to be breathtaking. 'There has been a lot of thought gone into this because for me, it's my final big hurrah and I will only have one 60 and I want to make the most of it.

'There will be jazz and blues and Sinatra songs in the background and the women will be all dressed in long gowns,' she said.

Since winning Celebrity Salon, the former model who is easily Ireland's most stylish granny said business had improved. 'The reaction has been great. I would be stupid to say that it hasn't been beneficial for me.

'It has raised the profile of my agency here in Limerick and I have been invited to two beauty colleges to speak about the experience,' she said.

Although Celia beat considerably younger competition, including Pippa O'Connor, Virginia Macari and Leigh Arnold, the businesswoman said she would have to think seriously before doing another reality show.

'It was a scary experience. Your personality is really exposed. Any faults or weaknesses come through.

'I was worried that I would be seen as the cursing granny. I can eff and blind with the best of them and I was worried I would let myself down under pressure.'.
