About Me


?
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
my crappy movies are up there! parts I and II of the incomplete corinna tomrlova vampire trilogy. you'll be glad part III was never made...
the link below will take you to a load of crap i've done when i really should have been doing other things. probably tells you a lot 'about me' right there...
culture schlock! my web site!
Hello to all who stop by! Please note: i am NOT Wonder Woman, she who is Beautiful as Aphrodite, Strong as Hercules, Wise as Athena, Swifter than (freddie) Mercury etc etc etc...... i am myself, superpowered in many other ways. not these though. don't want to disappoint anyone feeling that they are, in fact, communicating with an Amazonian princess when i'm merely a research academic. not quite the same, huh?
i am:
a professional clever clogs & avid brain grower
a jelly wrestler, flim flam scribbler, but not an invisible plane pilot.
a collector of pinup loveliness, i admire beauty of many kinds in many people...
Fat positive and positively fat, I am a strong campaigner for fat acceptance, body and weight diversity and body liberation. I am a fledgling fat activist
I'm a film studies and popular culture studies academic and also a body studies and fat studies academic and I blog on the body here
I am not an aficionado of knee-licking, but am currently embarking on a study of the phenomenon to discover the hidden elements of its appeal. actually my research is in other areas, but if i come across any knee-licking, i will make a note. then no doubt lose the pad or use it mistakenly for a shopping list or to wedge under the leg of a wobbly table thus throwing social discovery out another decade or so, when i could have advanced culture in some slight, yet meaningful way.
