THERE’S snow mistaking this blonde bombshell!

Basildon’s mayor Mo Larkin is hoping to brighten up the borough’s mood this merry-making season with her official Christmas card.

Mo, who became the borough’s first ever mayor last month, has gone for different approach to her festive card for the second year running.

Instead of opting for a scenic photo of the town, Mo’s annual card features the lady herself glamorously dressed in a snow white coat and purple dress.

She’s also holding a Christmas tree bauble emblazoned with the words “I love you”.

Mo, who coyly admits she is “in her sixties”, said: “I just want the card to cheer people up. Everything is so miserable at the moment with the snow. We’ve got elderly people trapped inside their homes and all sorts going on so if my card cheers just one person up then it’s done its job.”

“I’m not one to do things the traditional way!”

Last year the Tory councillor, who was then the chairman of Basildon Council, hit the national headlines with her festive card.

It featured her posing next to a heart-shaped bauble and a Christmas tree.

The card caught the eye of a group of labourers in Ramsgate, who then decided to use Mo as the pin-up on a building site.

Mo added: “I’ll probably get some stick from some people, but I’ve had some lovely comments about the card. It’s just a bit of fun and we all need that at the moment.”
