Melanie lived in Scotland and was a DJ and PROMOTER until she became ill with Small Cell Ovarian Cancer which is sadly Incurable. Having beaten it once before it sadly returned in December 2007 when she was told it had came back and was terminal.
She liked creating her own MIXES, SINGING, Creating MUSIC, Freelance JOURNALISM, PHOTOGRAPHY, and DESIGNING promotional material/fliers, Posters,[& myspace pages ;-)].
She had been a DJ on the Goth/Cyber/Alternative....' scene for around 10 years, but developed a real interest for DJING when she worked in RADIO & JOURNALISM in 1990. She taught basic RADIO PRODUCTION to the unemployed, WROTE ARTICLES for local NEWSPAPERS & MAGAZINES, and produced weekly LOCAL BROADCAST campaigns featuring a wide variety of topics. Part of this involved working with GRAHAM NORTON for 6 weeks before he became an International Celebrity when he worked for 'Festival Radio' in London! Ha Ha. It was a local broadcast project called 'Festival FM' in Edinburgh over the Festival period in 1992, [circa]. She was his PA amongst many other tasks, including making cheesey ADVERTS, running competitions, and REVIEWING Festival shows, plus co-ordinating a team of 20 trainee journalists aaagh! It was very intense and long hours, but total hilarious fun! She still got asked to do various Radio interviews, talking about, and defending The Goth/Alternative scene
SINGING was a major a passion of Melanies and she WROTE LYRICS too. She sang in bands from the age of 15 until she was about 23, but real life took over and she hadn't done it seriously for some time, well, until just recently. Click on STARRSPILL .
The new track is called Jessica and the lyrics were written by Melanie and the music was co-written, and the vocals very kindly provided by two friends.
She also did BAND & MUSIC INTERVIEWS & Reviews for Alternative type Magazines, the most recent was with Chris Corner of IAMX. She enjoyed writing poetry from time to time, but thought mostly it was rather depressing reading though, Lol, how Goth!
In contrast, she has written quite a few articles, and 'stories' for Penthouse Magazine, and wrote some copy for porn Ads... All a bit graphic, but amusing to write... LOL!
She studied PHOTOGRAPHY at college 'years' ago, and had rekindled her love for it over the past couple of years. Her latest love was my new Canon 400D camera, It's super lovely. She put a couple of her SohoDolls' @ WGW photos up in the 'pics' section.

She Joined MySpace to keep in touch with my friends, and network a little. It was a fantastic way to discover new music to play, and also to meet some new people with comparable interests. So if you were a Band [or are in one], a DJ, or Crazy CAT/animal admirer with similar music taste, or all of these, then if she hadn't she would have got round to checking you out.
She could only be bothered with genuine people that were not full of crap, and have their head stuck so far up their own asses that they can monitor the shit that passes out of either end!!! hmmmmm, that annoyed her a bit! ;)
Also, Please don't be offended if she denied a friend request as she only accepted friends/people who she had common interests with, and bands wot she liked the sound of. She also 'liked' order and tidiness so she may delete or deny COMMENTS, especially large HTML ones!
