About Me

Miss Emma Peel is Melbourne's first lady of Go-Go. She runs Melbourne's longest running Go-Go club called Blow-Up - The wildest and most unique monthly event in Australia featuring Go-Go dancers in cages, bands, psychadelic lighting and suave DJ's playing underground tunes ranging from latin soul, funky soul, garage and hard-hitting sound library. Blow-Up takes place on the last saturday of the month at the Evelyn (351 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy)in Melbourne.
Miss Peel is a helluva socialite and enjoys nothing more than drinkin' champagne, frolicking with rock boys at swingin' drinking holes and generally being a TOTAL MINX.

I DONT CARE!, obsessive Beatles/Who/Rolling Stones fans.

I'd like to meet:

I wish i could fly back in time, and date Michael Caine (Get Carter style). I'd insist he carried his shotgun around to take care of anyone who bothered me...

If it were 1968 i'd like to meet Steve McQueen and speed around San Fran in his mustang......

Apart from that, well i guess i'd like to meet all the eccentric bods in Australia and worldwide. Actually, i've probably already met all the eccentrics in Melbourne. There arent that many....

HEY CHUMPS- SOME POINTS FOR YOU TO MAKE A NOTE OF:

- i receive a lot of messages each day, so i may take a while to respond to your message, ok? Nothing personal.
- PLEASE do not leave comments plastered with flyers and/or ENORMOUS spiels about some gig that's coming up.Unless i know you well and are familiar with what you do, it aint gonna go up on my site.
IN OTHER WORDS: STOP SPAMMING ME!! IT MAKES ME VERY ANGRY! SPAMMING INCLUDES ENORMOUS PICTURES AND BORING COMMENTS ALONG THE LINES OF "THANKS FOR THE ADD" - I WILL REJECT ALL COMMENTS LIKE THIS
