About Me

I'm a sweethearted glamour puss with hardcore hippy / feminist tendencies. Despite this I have a serious history of make up abuse and overt wonderbra usage. I'm a rock chick, left wing, vegetarian, humanistic, cat lovin, sensitive, tart of a drama queen. No matter what I always mean well, I love my mates, my family and my puss cats. I am a freelance writer - please see my blog and feel free to comment. I'm currently working for 69 magazine www.69-247.com as a live music editor/writer. In also write short stories, features, lyrics, poetry and am drafting a book. I've travelled about a fair bit and hope to see more of this delightful planet in my time here. I'm half American, my Mum is from Elizabethtown, Kentucky, love the place (USA), Kentucky is stunning. I have Cherokee Indian in my bloodline, I guess thats where I get the cheekbones! Other half is stiff upper lip English. I have a Degree in Women's Studies which fuels my opinionated egalitarian streak, don't let that scare you I'm a pussy cat! Live with my boyfriend (Mab)- check out his band Superevolver -its special. Oh yeah my Mum's gay, my Dad is a vicar turned witch - all makes for an interesting childhood! I believe you now know more than enough about me.
