Oh wow, it's just occurred to me. All those Britpop boys and shoegaze boys, us girls know all their secrets. I literally got told the other day about a doc being made that me and Emma were excluded from because we knew all the stories. Ha! fuck you. I'm gonna tell it all

It's 1am and I'm 55. Absolutely no idea how I made it this far but am fully grateful that I have. Here's 2 photos from summer '94, when I was precisely half this age. They feel like an appropriate illustration of my contrasting feelings as I toast my own good health. Xx

My mum is signing James Bond/Space 1999 memorabilia today at the London Film Fair. Rather more obscurely, she also played 'Doris Takahashi' in the movie Wombling Free, so if you're going, take a Wombles poster for her to sign. It'll totally freak her out

25 years ago today, Ladykillers released.
Here's me and Emma having hair and make-up done for the video, shot in Los Angeles. Felt like a very lavish production with loads of extras and the requirement for some 'acting' from us (embarrassing!) Lovely team, though, and top fun!

Ladykillers is the Lush song that gets me the most antagonism. Men (and ONLY men) complain I've been unfair - "ok, we're clumsy at playing the sexual dance, but don't slam us down for trying". I say - try doing that dance without treating us like conquerable prey. We'd like that.
