Wotcher gang! May I present to you my very latest YouTube exploit? This time, it’s my very, very long-awaited guide to Victory Rolls! This quintessential 1940s hairstyle was (apparently) named after the manoeuvres performed by victorious planes at the end of World War II, as they celebrated beating Jerry! You could see rolls on everyone…

Commemorating Comic-Con
It’s now been four years since the last time I went to Comic-Con in San Diego. The last time I was there, with my now-ex, artist and writer Jamie McKelvie, we woke up one morning the week before, to the 07/07/05 London bombings all over the news and a deluge of emails from worried friends…
What I wore – 19th July

The reason I have…

Brighton hen shenanigans!
So since my last post, I have been down to Brighton for a hen weekend, where the sun shone and we celebrated my friend Jo’s forthcoming nuptials. It was a whole heap of fun, and highlights included riding the Crazy Mouse rollercoaster on the pier (I seriously feared for my life!), sitting by the sea…
