A.K.A LANA PENROSE

About Me

I have a book coming out through Penguin Publishing entitled "To Hellas & Back". It's really quite good. You'll have to trust me on that. Or buy it. Set in Greece, it's a true tale of love and intrigue. Kind of. I guess it's intriguing in that it revolves around dog attacks, gypsy curses, spitting at infants and public gropings ultimately set to a rock n roll soundtrack. There are tears, laughter, heartache and minor gynecological concerns. I'm often reduced to little more than a shrugging mute. What else? Um.It is scheduled for an Australian & New Zealand release on 1 October 2007. Other territories are TBA, but once firm dates are set, you'll be the first to know.My friend Tim's in it. So are other MySpace friends. I'll tell you who they are gradually. Unless they ask me not to. They can sometimes be shy.I'm a former record company whore, music journalist and music TV producer. I've been known for my affiliations with the pop elite. But mostly I'm a drunken idiot who comes home late at night to dance wildly in front of the mirror after eating the remainders of a chicken carcass.Any questions?

My Interests

When not writing or drawing inspiration from my muse, I can usually be found lounging about in leopard skin spandex sneaking in a cheeky dose of Judas Priest. See, I have a fascination for classic rock. Call it a phase, call it the very fibre of my existence. It probably suits me about as much as Dee Snider's hair suited Christina Aguilera in the Lady Marmalade video, but anyway ... Whether or not you share in my guilty pleasure, hello and welcome. Whether or not you are a boy with tattoos, eyeliner and teased hair, I want to be your friend. Whether or not you are illiterate, I want to be your friend, a fact that only the literate are now aware of.

I'd like to meet:

my maker.

Music:

KISS, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Scorpions ... stuff like that. I KNOW ... I can't help it. I especially share in Motley Crue's deeply non-misogynistic philosophical outlook. The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Depeche Mode. And then lots of other different stuff that has nothing to do with men wearing eyeliner and lipstick. I also have an undying allegiance to Darren Hayes.

Movies:

KISS Meets the Phantom in the Park, Spinal Tap

Television:

... the Drug of the Nation

Books:

The Dirt - Motley Crue; Hell Bent for Leather, Confessions of a Metal Addict - Seb Hunter; Wonderland Avenue - Danny Sugarman; David Sedaris; and strangely, metaphysical literature because I secretly fancy myself as some kind of witch. A white one.

Heroes:

Paul Stanley, Rob Halford, Mother Theresa, my now-deceased cat, my grandmother, people who are nice. You know who you are. All three of you.
