Television:

unless it is about horses, extreme plastic surgery, unusual deformities, serial killers/atrocities, the weather channel just drones in the background while i read. i will watch dexter when it returns. although a fictional drama, dexter falls under the serial killer label.

hedwig, david bowie, marlene dietrich, vivien leigh, zelda fitzgerald, gary numan, peter murphy, klaus nomi, countess bathory, mary kate olsen, dorothy parker, sylvia plath, ann carlisle, madonna, boy george, my dad
