What is your guilty pleasure?
Food wise- anything thats bad for me. I'm known for being a pig, sometimes getting two starters, a main, and pudding when eating out. I am also embarrassingly known at one local shop as Malteser girl. I love to boogie (badly) to cheesy songs, have been known to cry profusely watching manipulative romantic/sad films, car-boot bargain hunting, and sun worshipping!
Who or what is the love of your life?
My family and friends of course but music, art and fashion and everything creative also. As soon as I wake up I put music on and I am immersed in one or all of the above for most of the day. I have to admit to being in love with the concept of love too - a hopeless romantic!
It’s Friday night – where are you and what are you doing?
If I'm not at the cinema or a gig, I'd be at a pub or club with great music, a pear cider in hand and my best mates by my side - there is high probability of bad dancing too!
Which tea are you?
I hate tea. I don't understand why everyone drinks it all day. I 'm always treated like a freak when I decline and state my hatred for it! But if I had to drink it, it would be smothered in something naughty like cream or chocolate.I should probably drink Camomile to calm me down as I tend to worry too much!
Who is your leading man or lady?
I am teased by my friends for my taste in men (they all adore the clean cut boy-band or sport-star look) , without naming names he would be musical/creative, intelligent and challenge me in new ways, probably have tattoos and be of the rock/alternative aesthetic!
In terms of females I think Audrey Tatou , Natalie Imbruglia, Gwen Stefani, Grace Kelly, Natalie Portman, and Chloe Sevigny are all beautiful- in their very different ways.
