Go see www.angelfire.com/darkside/taradragon - its all on the homepage!Also online modelling/casting portfolio at www.angelfire.com/vamp2/taradaynesOther semi-interesting facts (depending on what you find interesting...) * I used to be in St Winifreds School Choir - which will mean nothing to people outside the UK, but everyone else will probably remember our Number 1 single 'Grandma' (even though you've no doubt been trying to forget it) * My neighbour was a serial killer - I lived next door to the Camden Ripper & survived! :o) * My party trick (for outdoors parties!) is firebreathing.Fancy that.

My Interests

Hedonism, freedom, vampires, dragons, cats, shopping (in Camden & on ebay), big goth/vamp events like WGW etc, cinema, theatre, eating, sleeping, dreaming, rock gigs, being a media tart, tattoos, dressing up & looking fab :o) , my job (seriously!) ... the list goes on

I'd like to meet:

Georgeous long-haired rock gods/goth types, people in the rock/goth/alternative scene, bands I am likely to know, see & like. If that's you, rah! If not, & you are in fact a chav/R&B or indie or pop or other shite music fan or band/bible basher/footie or rugby type/Xenon from the planet Tharg/weirdo desperate for a wife/ far too normal & mainstream, just DO NOT send me an add or a message - how many times do I have to say that?? grr!

Music:

Rock! With lots of rock hair & leather pants - Ten - THE best AOR outfit around, IMO, & they all still have proper rock hair as well, hurrah! Other classic & melodic rock & AOR generally, esp Crown Of Thorns, Magnum, Millennium, Urban Tale, Saigon Kick, Skin, Firehouse, Thunder, Skid Row, Tyketto, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Royal Hunt etc etc. Goth, Industrial, Darkwave - esp. Mesh, Greenhaus, Apoptygma, The Nine, Incubus Succubus etc - FTMTM All 80s! Duran Duran, Adam & the Ants, Spandau Ballet etc etc. Love that New Romantic era, when people actually made an effort, unlike now (I'm talking about YOU, Gallagher brothers!)

Movies:

Horror (but not too much gore. Or zombies.) Good action flicks with lots of explosions & car chases. Psychological thrillers & stuff that gets you thinking a bit. Comedies with some wit, not brainless slapstick stuff.But no mushy chick flicks, thanks!

Television:

I'm a soaps fan, so sue me... Also love CSI .

Books:

Neil Gaiman (esp Sandman graphic novels), Stephen King, Isaac Asimov (esp Foundation series), Dean Koontz, & similar horror/sci-fi stuff. Plus, Calvin & Hobbes, Garfield & Dilbert!

New year, new beginnings

It's that time of year again, when people start making resolutions about what they are going to do differently (& presumably better) over the next 12 months. In a few weeks time we'll get to that ...

Too much, too young?

I filled in a Myspace survey last week,  'How old were you when you first...?'. It reminded me that I was a relatively late starter when it comes to many of lifes experiences. Some of that was du...
