When she turned 21 last month, she already had claims to fame as a model, fashion designer and royal. So what next on the wish list for the world's most thoroughly modern celebrity princess? Well, gosh, why not try to cut a record? Sounds like a giggle, but no joke, Monaco's Princess Stephanie now has a modest hit record in Europe. Stephanie reports that her latest career turn "came about completely by accident" when a friend at a recording studio casually suggested that she try a voice test. It went so well that she agreed to make a single with one side in English called Irresistible and the other in French called Ouragan (that means Hurricane, but it is actually the same song). The record, which will soon be released in the U.S., has been out for five weeks and has sold 100,000 copies in France alone. Her lark as a thrush might lead next to making an album, says Stephanie, if that does not take too much time away from her fashion work. Why the need to keep so busy? "I'm growing old," she laughs. "At my age, one likes to be on the move." And move to whatever one likes.
