Gender	Female
Location	London, United Kingdom
Introduction	Part time bespectacled legal secretary, part time blowtorch wielding jeweller. I like shiny things, kittens, zombie movies, cake, roller derby and shouty punk. When I'm not in my workshop covered in layers of silver dust and polish, I also love photography, sequins, sparkly things and fancy cocktails. Vist my website at www.laurengracejewellery.com and shiny new blog at www.laurengracejewellery.com/blog if you would like to see more of my shiny things.
Interests	Retro fashion, punk rock, alternative culture, bad movies (especially action ones starring Jason Statham), corsets and tiny hats, baking, dancing (mainly in the kitchen on my own), glitter, roller derby, sci-fi, and all things sparkly.
Favorite movies	Wild at Heart, Heathers, Re-animator, Evil Dead, Pretty in Pink, Hellraiser, Top Gun (shush, I wanted to be a fighter pilot when I was little), True Romance, Secretary, Clerks, Bring it On, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Sean of the Dead, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Star Wars. Too many more to mention. After a few glasses of wine, I'll be persuaded into watching any old rubbish. Or indeed suggest it.
Favorite music	AFI, Rancid, Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, Strung Out, H2O, My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy (my guilty pleasure), Greenday, Nine Inch Nails, Alice Cooper, NoFX, Bon Jovi, Alexisonfire, Rise Against, The Unseen, Poison, Skid Row, Iron Maiden, Vandals, Guns n Roses.
Favorite books	Anything by Michael Marshall Smith, Clive Barker, Christopher Fowler. Absolutely nothing by Dan Brown, the Da Vinci Code was truly one of the most dreadful books I've ever had the misfortune to read. I like Neil Gaiman, Philip Pullman, Harry Potter and I have been known to read the odd comic book. I also love art books and books filled with pictures of shiny things.

Please describe how you could take the peel off an apple all in one go:

I could. But then I'd have to kill you.
