vinyl, disco & the 1970's, veganism, getting ready to go out, roller boots, dyslexic so like flashing lights & glitter, being a bad influence/icon to 8 yr old girls, encouraging the indulgence of eccentricities, skipping with the line of what you can & can't say.

Please note, NO noisy dirty boyz in bands that quite frankly could do with learning some manners and having a bath or 2. Also not a fan generally of bland safe saying nothing music james blunt, the beddingfields, shane ward, katie melua et al, that is not what pop should be! trance, dance or 'funky disco house' which is neither funky, disco nor house, current us 'rnb' - 'stole' by kelly rowland makes me wanna vom & anything of rse kelly.
Movies:
well after watching 'but i'm a cheerleader' i've worked out why i dislike watching films, it's not only because my attention span has to struggle but more that they are made through male eyes with male vision, similar too many things in our society. that said I do love: Grease, Jackie Brown, Saturday Night Fever, Cabaret, Rita Sue & Bob Too, Beautiful Thing, The Champ, Carlito's Way, Wish You Were Here, Edward Scissorhands, ET, Drop Dead Fred, The Terminator, Thelma & Louise, Muriel's Wedding, Logan's Run, Devil's Advocate, the Last Supper (also female director), silkwood, A nightmare on Elm Street, Finding Nemo! + the Love Bug x
Television:
Ideal bbc three / ideal
my name is earl brings me joy.
My fave tv progs ever were Alain De Bottons Status anxiety (now on dvd), and Tracey Emin's What price art? just how it is.
Also love classic chick telly, sex & the city + cutting it - both of which had the rare abiltiy to make me both laugh and cry at the same time. The simpsons & the royle family go without saying right?
an still got a soft spot 4:
yay for dvd box sets!
Books:
John Fiske - Understanding Popular Culture saved me at uni from their so-called 'high culture'.
