I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

single parent to three irascible children, i work full time in a soul destroying day-job. i spend my precious leisure time drawing or painting, occasionally reading ( I need to catch up on the reading aspect, i have a waist high pile of books that need my attention.) I live in Glasgow, which i loathe, but I'm originally from east Dulwich in South East London. I would love to be able to move back but basically couldn't afford to and don't want to move my children away from their dad and grandparents. am impatient geek!

My Interests

tattoos! reading, knitting, painting, drawing, music, general creative things. Burlesque, 1940s glamour, 1950s and early sixties musicals - modern musicals with the exception of ANYTHING involving Andrew Lloyd webber. Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!

I'd like to meet:

Burlesque artistes! freaks and geeks. Other artists, people with lots and lots of tattoos and anyone with deep pockets who would like to buy some original artwork! ;)
