BY DAY POSH LORNA IS TRAINEE BARRISTER...

BY day bespectacled Lorna Whittaker buries her head in law books as she pursues her dream of becoming a barrister.
 But by night the prim-looking student pulls on a skin-tight PVC catsuit and brandishes a cat-o-nine-tails whip - as the sexy hostess of Britain's first fully-nude strip cabaret club.
 Amazingly Lorna's secret double life is not aimed at funding her studies at one of London's most prestigious law schools.
 The privately educated and designer-clad brunette is a millionaire's daughter.
 Instead she comperes the sophisticated sex show for KICKS.
 Lorna, 21, says: "If anyone had said to me a year ago that I would be introducing naked female dancers to a cheering crowd I would have said, 'No way'.
 "I'm more used to discussing the Police and Criminal Evidence Act.
 "Now I find myself miaowing on stage in a latex catsuit and tons of make- up and brandishing a whip.
 "I suppose I'm a secret exhibitionist and my disguise makes me feel incredibly confident.
 "Whenever I pull it on, I feel like a completely different person.
 "I'm no longer Lorna the law student, I'm a pure sex kitten. And even though it's total fantasy, the transformation makes me feel all woman.
 "I can be as outrageous as I like because that's what the audience expects. And I know that when I peel it off at the end of the night, I become Lorna the law student again.
 "Although I know I'm not a schizophrenic, I admit I get a real kick out of being two totally different people leading totally different lives.
 "By day I live in a normal and respectable society. But by night, everything changes - it's so risque and very exciting.
 "The men and women I meet in the club are so unlike my friends at college and the people I grew up with. I wouldn't change either but it's nice to be able to escape from the real world into a land of total fantasy.
 "And standing in front of an audience of men I've never met before, all focusing their attentions on me, does feed my exhibitionist streak and give me a sense of power." Lorna, in the final year of her degree course, also believes her act will improve her performances in court after she qualifies.
 She said: "Standing in front of a club full of men in a catsuit has to help your confidence and make it easier to plead in front of a judge."
 Well-spoken Lorna, whose parents live in a six-bedroom mansion with swimming pool in Hampshire, started working at the up-market SophistiCats club in London's Marylebone three months ago.
 Using the name of Whiskers, she introduces a bevy of sexy showgirls with feline pet names who do a sexy striptease and dance round a pole to classical music and opera.
 But Lorna admits that on the club's opening night she needed a stiff drink before she went on stage. She says: "I was very nervous but a couple of gin and tonics gave me the Dutch courage I needed.
 "I'd also invited a few of my rich pals to give me support.
 "They were dubious at first and thought at first it was just another sleazy strip joint.
 "But they were surprised at how up-market and professional it was - and they had to admit they loved it.
 "When I went on stage everyone cheered and I soon began to really enjoy myself.
 "The catsuit is a real attention-grabber.
 "It also opened my eyes to how sexy and feminine dressing up can make you feel.
 "So much so that I went out and spent pounds 500 on silky lingerie, stockings and suspenders.
 "Being Catwoman has introduced me to a whole new world of sexy underwear." But Lorna, who has a luxury pounds 230,000 three-bedroom apartment in West London, insists she is sexually conventional in the privacy of her own bedroom
 She says: "I'm not into kinky sex - what I do is purely a job, a role I act out.
 "Regardless of my image on stage, I'm not at all promiscuous.
 "I prefer romantic liaisons and long-term relationships. I don't need to dress up in rubber to enjoy a good sex life. Romance does much more for me."
