Firstly, allow me to clarify - this is a PERSONAL profile. I will NOT add you if I do not recognize/know you. If I do not know you, please be redirected to my PUBLIC account HERE !
Thank you.
Music is pretty much my life, Rock and Roll, Rockstars, and Trophy Rockstar wives...
Some-time artist, animator, film maker, designer, singer, guitarist, bassist , writer,
promoter , DJ , pub glass monkey , Music and DVD retail monkey. I guess you could say I'm a JACK OF ALL TRADES! Boom Boom! (see what I did there?!) Should add comedian to the list, clearly.
But in reality I'm distinctly average at all of the above and claim no real talent.
Full-time trouble!
I Like to read and paint to pass some of the time. I'm also interested by languages (and accents - prrrr!), all things Italian (except pizza and lasagna. Cheese can fuck right off.), Philosophy (predominantly of Religion), Psychology (of the abmnormal and behavioural flavours), Theatre (the family business, or so it seems), and Photography.
I'm also big on make-up (Urban Decay and Mac in particular)
I'm blatantly a child of the 80s/early 90s in terms of my old-school trashy retro tastes.
And yes, I like football. no it's not 'cool' by your 'alternative' standards. and no, I don't care. Come on you Spurs! Forza Azzuri!
Musicians who would be interested in me singing with them.
Looking for a new rock and roll band, and session musicians interested in working on my solo project - should sound like a mix of The Hellacopters, Backyard Babies, Iggy Pop, Motley Crue, The Cult, Jane's Addiction, Rachel Stamp, Eighties Matchbox, Tiger Army, blah blah blah...
Anyone who wants to book me for DJ slots or gigs
Though actually, any of the above should go to my other profile. Here, I don't really wana meet anyone unless I've met you in person. Sorry!

I enjoy reading kid's books as this aids my ideas for film making and the groovy thing is they usually have awesome pictures! Poetry for help with my lyrics and help me pretend I'm still as intellectual as I used to be before I started wasting my life away....which brings us nicely to my other faves, comics!

*My Siblings. Love each of them in their own special way and respect their individual personalities and acheivements. Consider them among my closest, most reliable, most trust-worthy friends
*I don't bother with political/humanitarian heroes and such because there's always something in their past that goes totally against their philosophy, take Ghandi, he let his wife die because he thought it was wrong for her to use anti biotics, then proceeded to fill his boots with them when he was on his last legs...heroic?
