I can fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings

About Me

********Stop Press! Visit www.pollydeluxe.co.uk to find out more about my Edinburgh Fringe appearances - and listen to my Eurovision song!**************
Is there anyone left out there who doesn't know all about me? Just my little joke, of course there are some tribes in the Amazon rainforest who haven't got television yet.

Anyway, you may indeed come from a far-flung village which has just had a computer donated by some charity, and you are busy hooking up with the rest of the world - finding that a whole new experience of culture awaits in the form of dancing penguins and videos of people falling off skateboards.

But you may be looking for something more. Something that will show you the depth and breadth of Western culture, and also add some glamour to your life. Well, that's where I come in!

I am Polly Deluxe. That’s a stage name, of course. Born to an aristocratic family, I was always destined to serve the nation. And that’s exactly what I do, by letting the world see my amazing talent to sing, dance, act and generally INSPIRE!

But even when you're blessed with such talent, life's not easy. I'm sure word of the voting travesty for my Eurovision song contest entry reached even the Amazon rainforest. And my stint as a Bond girl didn’t lead to the acclaimed acting roles I so desired. All these setbacks – and personal difficulties - led to a spell in rehab.

But watch out world, I’m BACK – with a whole range of exciting projects! Many people say the last thing I should be doing is stepping back into the public eye. But I’m not a fame junkie, not any more. I simply owe my faithful fans the story behind my rise and fall!

After a triumphant sell-out show at the Candy Bar, Brighton, as part of a six night run on the Brighton Festival Fringe, you can now see me at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival! These fringe events are rough and ready, bring your own red carpet affairs, but it's worth it to get in touch with ordinary, down-to-earth folk. A talented cast re-enact the most exciting moments of my life, organised by wonderful theatre company SomethingElse. They needed my help, of course, to become the best that they can be...The writer's gone away for a long rest now, but without a great struggle, you can't produce great art.

I will be sure to update you with my progress. Enjoy the ride on the roller coaster of emotions that is my life!

My Interests

I absorb information like a sponge. People often say they are amazed how much I know, when they expected to meet the usual shallow, vain, ex-wild child! I study anything that sparks my creativity.

I'd like to meet:

I've met everyone I've ever wanted to meet, really, and they're often disappointing! I don't want to name names, but there's celebrities out there more botox than flesh. They make cybermen look human. No, I've got over my partying years and now I want to meet normal, everyday folk, maybe touched by some tragedy, who I can help. I like to visit hospitals and do charity work, telling tales of my personal woes so they can see even the beautiful and talented have problems.

Music:

You can't beat a classic power ballad to get you through the bad times!

Movies:

Gone With the Wind, any of those old weepies. I would loved to have starred in some. I think I was born in the wrong era!

Television:

A medium which has become so corrupted over the years, people are invited to star in shows in the good faith that they will be able to share their wisdom and show their talent, only to be cast aside in favour of the next lad mags blonde with a D cup.

Books:

Anna Karenina, Jane Eyre, Tess of the Durbervilles - I can relate to all the classic heroines.

Heroes:

My audience.

Paris Hilton

It's very sad. I see Paris Hilton is going to prison for driving a £120,000 Bentley while banned. Some reports put the car at £190,000, but that's just cheap.I'm sure the judge was just jealous he'll ...
