About Me



Purveyor of fine clothes & jewellery from talented and artistic friends around the world. I used to be a corporate vulture, but now pursuing more interesting and hedonistic life directions!

Clothes - Jewellery - Costumes

My Interests

Running my company, Madame Di Amante Ltd! We are European Distributor for Canadian genius designers Plastik Wrap! Other interests that have to fit into a very tiny amount of time are: clothes, shoes, shoes, shoes, shiny pretty things, shiny pretty people, did I mention shoes?, snowboarding, games (poker!), travelling, especially to crazy hot places, domination, and well, I'm not sharing the rest. Just yet.

I'd like to meet:

Billy Connolly, Derren Brown, Peter Kaye, Julian Clary and Paul O'Grady, in the same pub over a pint. That would be an entertaining night out!Also, Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese, but not in the same pub as above!

Music:

Metal, goth, rock, electro, industrial, anything with attitude. And classical. And folk. And bluegrass. And panpipes. Oh, my reputation is going downhill now... Anything except trad jazz! (I'm not too particular about my music, but it does need a rhythm and a tune, I'm afraid!).New favourite band: Turisas (Finnish metal band) Top show, top blokes!!!

Movies:

Zoolander, Dusk til Dawn, Once upon a time in Mexico, Pirates of the Caribbean (or anything with Johnny Depp), Labyrinth... can't think now, I'll add more later, I guess...

Television:

Boring! Although I watch/watched Buffy, Angel, StarTrek NG, Voyager and DS9, Lost (hangs head in shame), The Tribe, Twin Peaks... 'bout it really. Not much for about 10 years or so, is it? I only put the TV on now if I'm really, really, really lonely.

Books:

More Authors really - Carlos Castenada, Anne Rice, Anne McCaffrey (Pern books), Tolkein, Steven King, Ian Rankin, Robert Rankin (quite a contrast!), cheesy sci-fi/fantasy (brainless light reading), biographies (Scar Tissue, Anthony Keidis, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, Aaron Ralston), travel books (nutty ones)...

Heroes:

Dickie Branson . Alan Chapman, Patrick Moore, the great engineers like Brunel, Stevenson.And closer to home: Ryan and Ada - Plastik Wrap, Emma and Dom - Heresy, Jill - Pimp, Fran and Andy - Limb, Jed Phoenix - Jed Phoenix clothing, Laura and Wolfgang - Futurestate, And all the other wonderful, talented, beautiful people we are so priviledged to work with. You guys are my heroes.

All hail the smoking ban...

Whilst I do deeply sympathise with all you smokers out there, I have to say that this smoke-free thing is FANTASTIC for those weak-lunged souls among us who find it hard to cope with smoky clubs, etc!...
