About Me

I'm the kind of girl who loves to ride a caterpillar bareback up the yellow brick road with the ultimate aim of mapping the human genome. No seriously, born from a quail's egg I descend from a time when pixies ruled the land and I ruled the pixies. An unfortunate incident when I gorged upon candy cigarettes and elderflower wine, meant that the dragon who singed my eyebrow had to go into counselling.My ambitions include diving off Blackpool Tower into the sea against a moonlit backdrop, wearing a jewel encrusted, diaphanous gown. You may think I will belly flop on concrete but I have magical, mystical, ancient powers. I am obsessed with Zombies and the notion that everybody but me could be one (spooky!). My hobbies include making dollies from hair- balls and supporting the rights of hedgehogs to build roads wherever they wish.MY ARTWORK!!!! First off the lovely Betty Page.Completed 07/07
and my latest the delightful Britt Ekland completed 12/07
I co hosted the Roots n Shoots radio show on 2/8/07. Check it out here (no 17 parts 1 and 2)
