About Me

I'm an old fashioned gal with manners and style of a by gone era. I'm madly in love with the 1940's and 50's- in fact most eras pre- now (Edwardian, Victorian, the roaring twenties- any time when style and poise ruled). I love glamour and am rarely seen without red lipstick and heels. I don't really do casual- I'd live my life tightly laced into a corset if it wasn't so damn impractical............. I have a pretty fun kinda job...think lots of pretty lingerie and boudoir accessories and you'll get the picture............. Of course, I harbour an unrealised desire to write (professionally) and get my work into print. I think I'm pretty good. And thankfully, a few other people who've read my stuff do too. But, like every other aspect of my life, I lack the patience and self control to actually finish anything.............I'm very cynical, but conceal it the best I can with pleasant indifference and a wining smile and I have no time for stupidity and pretentiousness and sycophants. I'm often perceived as a little frosty, aloof, or just plain scary. And that's because I am..................... In fact, I'm actually an absolute kitten and full of sweetness and fun things to see and do.I relish a challenge and I'll try almost anything once....as long as it doesn't require too much effort. or will smudge my lipstick. or make me sick.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Betty Grable, Bettie Page, Clara Bow, Marilyn Monroe, Vivienne Westwood, Angela Carter, Emmeline Pankhurst, Mr Pearl. Any number of debauched poets, libertines, and word-smiths from the past. Preferably in an opium den. or a tea room. Alas, I realise that I'm probably not going to run into them on my space so.. people of sound mind with wit and intelligence and something to say for themselves.
