My name is Laura, and I enjoy European travel, collecting movies, reading, going to art galleries and seeing interesting architechture. I love alternative fashion including gothic, 60's mod, Gothic Aristocrat Lolita, Visual Kei, Steampunk and European haute couture. My music interests are a bit eclectic and range from 60's mod/80's mod revival, 80's new wave, early punk, ska, gothic, industrial, madchester, britpop and English indie bands.
"I'd rather be no one with someone...than someone with no one"
~Stone Roses
I am incredibly shy, but I would like to meet people who are artistic, intelligent and well-traveled (or would like to be!). I've always been the 'weird' one and I find I get along much better with people who stand just left of 'normal'. It's a bit odd since I live in Stepford Wife territory and everyone here is on the extreme side of 'normal'!
Some people I would love to meet:
Eddie Izzard, Rodney Bingenheimer, Liam & Noel Gallagher, Richard Branson, Elyse Sewell, Charlie Boorman, Anthony Bourdain, Siouxsie & Budgie and David Bowie...I finally met Phil Oakey and he was as sweet as I ever imagined :)

John Lennon - A great songwriter, musician, comedian and social activist. We miss you John!
Walt Disney - For the imagination and inspiration he brought generations of people. I'm afraid he would be rolling in his grave these days if he were to see the sorry state of his company and the latest crappy animated features. Michael Eisner may you burn in Hell and take Hercules & Mulan with you.
Rodney Bingenheimer - A true pioneer dj at radio station KROQ in LA. He introduced me to a wide variety of bands and I'll always be in debt to him for my eclectic taste in music. I miss you Rodney!
