About Me

Hi. I'm Helen. I'm King of the Mods!I like polka dots. I tend to wear a lot of green, combined with eccentric colours and stripes. Im the proud owner of a red duffle coat. Infact i was wearing it before red duffle coats were featured in Heat mag, that's just how fashionable i am.I have curly hair which often resembles a big fuzzy afro. At the moment im neglecting it just everso slightly. Remember an afro is for life, not just for Christmas. My mother calls me her Gollywog. I was so taken by this that i devoted my life to searching eBay for Gollywogs and now have a collection of 42 and still counting. It is my ambition to own a white Gollywog, just to show fair play and portray a bit of political correctness. Not that i am at all politically correct. I like to call people spastic & retarded. Though not to their faces obviously.My life is tainted by depression but i tend to use it to my advantage, adds to the charm. I like to wear pretty shoes and enjoy cups of milky tea. My favourite food is pizza and i dream of having a minature daschund. For the time being i have to make do with miniature lions. Though much more fierce.I have a bounce around tigger and i like to bake cakes & cookies.I tend to escape in daydream and recite random quotations. It's impossible to be unhappy in a poncho.My life in a nutshell. Beware. I've set my laser from stun to kill. You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity. Farewell.
