About Me

You need to know that I love sunshine more than anything...it brings out the best in everything...

...Plus I love my family, my wonderful fella, my gorgeous friends and those amazing people that you meet in life that make you realise that life is about just living it!

I Love photography, art, music, architecture and fashion (when it is not up it's own backside and force feeds you the size zero rubbish).

I love the sound of fire cracking, the crisp air of the mountains and people that aspire to be something and put all their energy into what they want...I know a lot of people like that and to them I raise my hat!

I hate people that feel they fail before they start because they lack self belief.I love people with opinions...regardless of what they are...passion, to me, speaks volumes.

I love reliving and reminicising my early years...as much as it is my future...it's all about my past.

I love the media for its manipulation and the power of broadcast at last bringing real people's real views to light!

I love food and fine dining....nothing like it and will happily blow my pay cheque on finding the next best dining experience!

I love to dance only when it feels right and I can really let loose.

More than anything I LOVE....New York and graffiti...no crime...just art and the only art form that reminds you where it all came from and where it might end.

Life is never easy but if it was I simply would never do it.

My Interests

Music, art, film, photography, poker, toys (to good for kids to play with), dining in fine restaurants, drinking ridiculously expensive cocktails and fine champagne and COFFEE (tonnes of it), scouring local markets for hidden vintage treasures (especially handbags), Pellici's - my fav local cafe (the oldest Italian Cafe in London - a listed building with beautiful art deco surroundings run by the most fabulous family in East London), dancing like a fool on a random dancefloor with my mates, Travel espec New York and Barcelona (the best cities in the world for architecture, people, dining and just the pure buzz) PLUS just about anything that makes me laugh, cry or warms my heart...

I'd like to meet:

People that can drink me under the table, change my opinions and leave me with an impression. Someone who can feed me the experience aswell as the food so without a doubt Heston Blumenthal, Derren Brown and Paul McKenna so they can twist my mind further, Bill Hicks (on the other side), Ricky Gervais and Larry David - both comedy geniuses, Gordan Ramsey - potty mouths together, Piers Morgan - a loveable and genius rascal but would sooo kick his ass, givne the chance/ Benicio Del Toro to get a snippet of his lifestyle - he's the only actor that looks cool with dark circles...surely some indication to his partying, no?/ Eric Schlosser and Morgan Spurlock to congratulate them both on conveying the evils of fast food corporations (Also check out Mc Spotlight and KFC Cruelty ) / Talented musicians who can write songs, produce tracks and perform live / Banksy anyone into art, grafitti and stencils or likeminded artistic sprits out there like Sebastien Foucan and anyone into Parkour...I have much respect for people that can think up a strategy around throwing themselves at buildings like a human Spiderman - only wish I had the guts myself and in a strange kinda way think I probably do that day to day...but in a slightly different way...../ Sneaker Freaks ...I love and live with one, Poker fiends and MOST IMPORTANTLY any like minded people who arent afraid to vocalise their opinions and willing to give something back!
