How are we defining relationship here? Because I was very definitely calling things when I was in my ethical slut phase not Relationships. I think the Jellicle might be my first proper girlfriend cause M-I-L have only been together for ten years (this week). But then if we define relationship as being together rather than … Read More
My favourite Queer role model/celebrity… I’ve written pretty earnestly in previous years about Queer Icons and mentors both celebrity and otherwise. I love the fact that the queer family are so spread across the celebrity world and no longer in that funnysexual sort of way. Yeah I love RuPaul for getting Queer out and visible … Read More
(Spoilers for the final Anna Madrigal book ahead mention of suicide ideation) Last year at least the prompt was top five… My favourite book is a series, the Tales from the City series by Armistead Maupin.

I think some of my nicest memories are those of my Japanese Mothers telling me how I was supposed to look after my skin. The idea that cleanse, tone, moisturise wasn’t a proper skincare routine (it was still more than Skimble did) and should be at the very least enhanced by regular facials was definitely … Read More
