Music, gigs, clubbing, films, PVC and rubber, fetish art and photography, hanging out with friends, reading, writing poetry (none of which will appear here! LOL!), white wine and real ale, tattoos, pretty boys with smudged eyeliner, sleazy rock n roll, punk rock, Ancient Egypt, psychology, photography, cryptozoology, cooking, growing my own organic fruit and veg, paganism and neo - paganism. I've been a practising Solitary Witch since 2001. My favoured pantheon is that of Ancient Egypt. I have pets instead of kids; this is my little family:
Anyone who might have been about on the London scene at the same time as me. It's a safe bet we would have been at one or two of the same gigs/clubs at some point. Other sleazy glam fans; sadly, we appear to be an endangered species. I'm happy to add bands I actually like, people I have stuff in common with and people I might already know from other places, but I'm not into randomly adding to my friends list just to boost the numbers. I don't add anyone who hasn't bothered to fill in thier profile. If you want to be added to my friends list, I want to know WHO I'm adding. If you're a band and you send me a friend request which I decline, it means that I've listened to what's on your profile page and it hasn't been to my taste. It doesn't mean it's crap; I've heard a lot of stuff that's great for the genre it's in, but that I'm not into personally. I ALWAYS have a listen to bands who send friend requests!!! So many of my heroes are gone and I'm so glad I got to meet some of them first...........It goes without saying that I intend to meet all my dear friends and biggest heroes again, one day.... To all my friends who've gone before me I have only this to say - I AM NOT WEAKER FOR HAVING LOST YOU; I AM STRONGER FOR HAVING KNOWN AND LOVED YOU.CURRENT MOON lunar phaseIMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR POTENTIAL NEW FRIENDS; I've just had a clearout of my 'friend' list and deleted a number of people/bands for the following reasons...1) They continuously send dozens of bulletins begging for photo comments. If I see an interesting photo in your albums I may well leave a comment for you, and we all like to receive a comment now and again, but I will delete anyone who sends a ridiculous amount of bulletins begging for comments. Letting people know that you've put new photos up isn't the same thing, by the way.Ditto for bulletins about this or that cause. I support a number of causes, but I dislike extremism of any kind. If I log on to find a dozen bulletins and 10 of them are from the same cause, I view this as extremism and will delete the profile they originated from no matter how much I support thier cause;2) They're bands who never even bothered to thank me for listening to thier stuff or adding them. I make it very clear in my profile that I DO listen to bands who send friend requests, so if I have added your band it means I like them. I don't expect to get into your gigs for free, but I do expect a quick message to say thanks;3) They're people who haven't so much as said hello once I've accepted thier request. The reason I mention 'people I have stuff in common with' is so we might actually be able to have a chat (albeit online) about something we're both interested in. I don't care about age, sex, sexual orientation or anything else but I do ask that we have something in common so we might exchange a message or two somewhere down the line. Otherwise, what's the point of you sending a request and me adding you?I also do not add anyone who has thier profile set to private. I'm not going to add anyone who doesn't want me to know a bit about them before I hit the 'accept' button.If you're cool with all that, then feel free to send a request but I will look at your profile before I accept. If it's obvious that you haven't read a bloody word of my profile I will hit 'deny' without further ado!!!!!!!I personally recommend the following bands..........The SubzerosSlash VegasPhluid

I'm a huge fan of horror/splatter movies, especially the work of Lucio Fulci, George Romero and Dario Argento. Fave actors include Udo Kier, John Morghan, George Eastman and David Hess. I also love old classic horror from the 1930's onwards, and adore Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price.Johnny Depp and Gary Oldman also rule. Truly stunning actors, both of them.I love the 'Carry On' films, because I was raised on that kind of silly comedy. Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a very 'fnarr, fnarr' sense of humour.I also love musicals, my favourite being The Rocky Horror Picture Show.My cinematic taste is very much like my musical taste; I have a few favourite genres, but I'll give anything a watch and if I like it all well and good. I don't bother going to the cinema much for the simple reason that I fidget like a 3 year old when I have to sit still for any length of time. Since I don't mind waiting for things to come out on DVD, this isn't a problem.
A recent survey found 90% of TV to be tedious bollocks. Due to me agreeing with this I don't watch it much. When I do it's mostly documentries. Quite like a bit of Dr. Who (fave Dr. - Tom Baker) and South Park and I'll watch the odd film if it's something I like. Futurama and Family Guy have been known to make me snigger. Reality TV and soaps are banned here. There's no point asking me what I think about the latest happenings in the Big Brother house because I will neither know nor give a shit. Likewise with the latest 'drama' in Eastenders.
I'm a big fan of the following authors; Shaun Hutson, James Herbert, Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, Bill Bryson, Kate West, Fiona Horne, Anne Rice and more.
Razzle, Rene Berg, Spider (the man who taught me how to fall off a drum stool pissed without hurting myself (and how to play a bit of drums as well)), Ed Tudorpole, Marc Bolan, Ginger Wildheart, Adam Ant, Freddie Mercury, Ronnie Barker, John Cleese, Stephen Fry, Spike Milligan, Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Henry VIII, Debbie Harry, Joey Ramone, my best friend JJ, my friend Amanda; one of the most amazing women I know, Taime Downe, Keith Moon, Johnny Thunders, Bettie Paige, Matsuimi Max, Dita von Teese, Tyla, Stiv Bators, Iggy Pop, Johnny Depp, Gary Oldman, Marilyn Monroe
