Hi there internuts, pixels, pixelles and pixies, my name is Alix Fox - a Miss, if you please, but aiming to be a Hit. I'm a journalist and an apos-trophy wife, wedded to words.
My main job is as Staff Writer at Bizarre Magazine, where I edit the 'Weird World' news section and write features. I'm nauseatingly enthusiastic about my work and immensely proud to be a part of Bizarre; it provokes debate and pushes boundaries and envelopes more than most other large-circulation mags I know, and it's always intriguing. Even if you don't think you're into 'alternative culture' or consider yourself part of the non-mainstream community Bizarre represents, it still makes a fascinating read - just TRY to put it down!
In terms of my writing style, I'm known to be a pun demon, wreaking pun-demonium. A cunning linguist. If all the world's a stage, then I'm putting on a play on words. Yup, I'm a pun-lovin' criminal - double meanings and twisted sentences really entertain me, and I frequently indulge in 'em. That said, I've learned that it's sometimes important to put clarity before clever word games, especially when I'm reporting certain news stories. When it comes to my features, mine often have a very 'hands on' theme: I'll get stuck right in to learning how to bitchfight in custard, swallow swords, receive a public spanking or get kidnapped for kicks, and try to convey my experiences in the most candid, honest, lucidly descriptive way possible. I'm always looking to improve my skills, so I welcome feedback on my articles - get in touch, superpeople! Do let me know if there's something specific you'd like to read about in Bizarre, too.
I'm a verbal spacehopper and a conversational pinball machine. I love conducting bouncy, spontaneous interviews that boing from one obscure-yet-entertaining topic to another via various tenuous links. I've done a wee bit of telly presenting in the past, and particularly enjoy the fast pace and unpredictable nature of fronting live shows. I've been concentrating on journalism for a while now, and feel grander than a baby piano about having done so, but I wouldn't mind perhaps having another bash at being a presenter at some point. Whaddya reckon? Does the idea of seeing me Bird's Eye Potato Waffling on your TV sound brighter than a 1000 watt bulb, or make you want to run off and hide in a blackout bunker?!
So, that's me: potentially invading your goggle box, certainly ransacking the dressing-up box, always thinking outside the box, and hopefully ticking all the boxes for those who like quick (t)witted randomness.
