La Belle Hélène

Like a six year old smacked up on smarties

About Me

Hello. My name's Helen and i'm a law student! I live in Camden in an elegant penthouse (well... its a tiny flat at the top of the buillding). I have a goldfish named Pete (my flatmate's goldfish is called Carl. They live in separate tanks). It is amazing that they are still alive. I love music with guitars. I am a gig-slut (that is i love going to gigs, not that i'm a bit of a groupie - although you wouldn't believe it from my photos!). I play the bass guitar - i'm not very good but i enjoy it. I was in a music video - Deadwood by Dirty Pretty Things (see below). It was more rock and roll than when we smashed up our tv on the last night at university. I love living in in London and doing things like getting black cabs (all very My Fair Lady). I like shopping and buying presents for people. I love shoes - particually coloured stilletos and converse trainers. I'm obsessed with raspberries, olives and set yogurt (which I can't find anywhere). I like chinese takeaways, drinking absolut raspberry and not doing the washing up (all in one evening, that would be ace!). Mine's a singapore sling, or a gin and tonic. And when drunk I'll tell you I speak 4 languages but I think thats probably pushing it a bit. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 . I spend far too much time in the pub and on here, so leave me a message you lovely person. Oh and by the way, you have great hair! x
