Fabric, Dressmaking & habadashery excite me tremendously.
As does dressing up, and dressing other people up, its my work and a big part of my life.

Doing the Lindy hop
Theatre, Corsets, vintage circus, tight lacing, good table manners, men in morning suits, killer heels, Victoriana, Other peoples postcards, Alexander Mc Queen, burning the candle at both ends with a blowtorch, eating ones own body weight in biscuits.

Networking is good, I generally really like people. Mostly i like people who like creative stuff, my stuff, vintagey stuff, seaside stuff, running away to join the circus stuff, corset stuff. Glamour, Glitz, Tits & Sleaze, with a dribble on top.
However, There is only so much time in the day for internet socializing!!!
And whilst we're on the subject, I am a good, old fashioned girl, with no current words to explain how embarrassed and disappointed I am for how gross and misguided this world has become.

"A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn."
