This is weird for me to write, but times are weird, and everyone has experienced a whole new world. Myself included! So how does a 40-year-old woman (at the time, I’m 41 now) who mostly listened to noise, industrial, metal/rock music totally switch tracks and become a K-pop stan?! …

Every year since 2015, I’ve found myself going in to Central London and immersing myself in real horror. No not just hanging around Leicester Square which is a horror all of its own, but heading in to the murky depths of a massive cinema screen showing the absolute be(a)st of…

Ageing Dis/gracefully I admit it. I’m struggling with the ageing process. …

I don’t usually mix my professional life with my online life. Not out of fear that somehow something I’ve said or done will actively harm me but more out of I don’t think anyone is all that bothered with what I do. …

I have been doing a lot of questioning about how love works and how it very much doesn’t. My desires feel very new and strange to me recently. With something I had exploding (well I exploded, the other didn’t care in the slightest!) during lockdown it has given me time to be alone, enjoying my own space, and coming to grips with who I am.

A tale of a tattoo Today I got tattooed. For someone like me who has many tattoos, this isn’t an irregular thing, though it has been a while since my last one what with lockdown and all. This one is special though. Most of mine have meaning, or a place in my personal history, a couple perhaps don’t but we were all young and stupid at one point. This has 2 different streams of thought. …

And in today’s exploration of what and why does K-Pop do things to me we’re going to look at the fantasy package and why it works. It’s not just about all surface, trust me, I wish it were! I keep trying to explain my absolute love for K-Pop because it’s…

I need to ask a question to K-Pop musicians. Seriously how do you cope with all this? This week I’ve found I’ve needed to take a step back and listen to stuff that isn’t K-Pop just to feel like I’m catching my breath. I am truly grateful for what you…
