Four Hundred Fifth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Stella McCartney
Stella Nina McCartney (born September 13, 1971) is an English fashion designer. She is the daughter of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and the late photographer and animal rights activist, Linda McCartney.
As a young girl, McCartney travelled the globe with her parents and their pop group Wings, along with her siblings: older half-sister Heather (who was legally adopted by Paul McCartney), older sister Mary, and younger brother James. According to her father, the name of Wings was inspired by Stella's difficult birth. As his daughter was being born by emergency caesarean section, Paul sat outside the operating room and prayed that she be born "on the wings of an angel." Wings toured from shortly after her birth in 1971 until 1980.
McCartney has always claimed that she would have been a famous fashion designer even if her dad hadn't been Paul McCartney. Indeed, Vogue magazine wrote that "her first collection for the house Chloé, shown in Paris in October 1997, quickly dispelled any doubts about her talent."
In November 2007, Stella designed a silver necklace featuring a single leg, an apparent attack on her father's estranged wife Heather Mills, an amputee. Fashion insiders thought it was "edgy", but also a bit "out of order".
So it's only fitting that this would be the first *leg* of a two stage multi. Simply find the McCartney marker at the listed coordinates here in the Waxahachie City Cemetery and answer the following question. Stage I can be done without even getting out of your vehicle. The cache is a small, plastic, camoed tube.
