In the 13 years I have been writing on this particular iteration of my blog, I've considered closing it down many times and for many different reasons. Mostly it's been because I've run out of ideas of things to write about, but occasionally I will find myself thinking that a particular social media platform has... Continue Reading →
It's been another twelve months of pandemic life but, hey, you know what always cheers me up at this time of year? Giving thanks and announcing my Super Humans! Every year since 2011, I have shared a list of the people who have had positive impact on my life in the previous 12 months and... Continue Reading →
Somewhat surprisingly, 2021 has been a year of photoshoots for me. It all started back in February when I booked a Valentine's webcam shoot with Emerald Photography and had lots of fun swishing around in the corner of my home office wearing a vintage robe and red lace lingerie. Debbie was such fun to work... Continue Reading →
When I started planning photoshoots this year, I was mostly doing it to a) show off some of the lovely lingerie I've collected over the years, and b) because I enjoy meeting photographers and becoming a part of their creative process. I find photography fascinating, it's been a hobby of mine for some time, and... Continue Reading →
Last month, I saw a tweet from Amanda Vickery, Professor of Early Modern History at Queen Mary, University of London. It featured a black and white photograph of a mid-twentieth century shop window display.

Every year since 2011, I have shared a list of the people who have had positive impact on my life in the previous 12 months and, in my opinion, deserve an... Continue Reading →
In the early 1990s, UK schools didn't have many of the traditions we saw in the movies - proms, yearbooks etc - but some of my fellow students decided that they wanted to change this. Sadly, not enough people brought in the cash that was needed to produce an official yearbook, and so I took... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I assume that everyone is on Instagram as much as I am, which is daft. Just because I use it daily to both share and to browse images, doesn't mean that everyone I know 'gets' that particular social media platform. Some folk might not be on it yet, some might have an account but... Continue Reading →
Visiting exhibitions is one of my favourite things to do so, although this year has barely begun, I already have a list of must-see exhibitions for 2017. Going with a friend can give you lots to discuss, as they often share knowledge you don't have or perhaps spot some things you might have missed. Visiting... Continue Reading →
Back when I first moved over to a self-hosted WordPress site in 2012, I enlisted the help of my multi-talented best friend and metamour Amanda to help make my blog and its extensive archives look good in the shiny new template I'd found. Four years on and the site was looking a bit dated, so... Continue Reading →
