About me

Gender Female
Occupation Full time mother & independent Social Worker
Location United Kingdom
Introduction I began this blog a couple of years back before my world fell apart & life's frivolities held no appeal. This is my attempt at getting some of that old joyful frivolity back...
Interests Mamahood is my life's work but i also partake in a little...vegetarian cooking, jam making, 40's/50's paraphernalia collecting, feminist literature reading & Alison Mosshart stalking (you think i jest?). I own far too many art deco silk lampshades. I also have unhealthy obsessions with noodles, vintage headscarfs, artificial flowers & Nadia G.
Favorite Movies Who's afraid of Virginia Wolf, Noce Blanche, the Girl on the Bridge, Cry Baby, Eliza.
Favorite Music Garage Blues & true rockabilly. The Kills. The Stones. Amos, Apple, Carina Round & Cat Power. I'm receptive to most things with the exception of modern R&B. Le Tigre, Suede, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen. And I'd marry Prince tomorrow if he asked me (those darn polygamy laws).
Favorite Books All of Elizabeth Wurtzel's efforts. the Catcher in the Rye is my cliched longest love affair and Alain de Botton amuses me greatly. Daily reading is less pretentious, something by Nigel Slater...with pretty pictures.
