Playing music, going to gigs, listening to tunes, dressing in a rock fashion, being switched on and independent, loving, hating, acting sweet n' sour, mood swings, assertiveness, not taking any shit, having fun with bubblegum, boys of Summer, being complex so that men can't figure us out. Basically all activites not confined to shopping, doin' yer nails and wearing a pretty skirt.
I'd like to meet:
Anyone interested in some good rock n' roll racket, pop nonsense and smooth sounds...
