I’ve been ‘tagged’ on flickr – Funnily enough almost at the same time; firstly from Mindy (Newleaf) and then by Nis very shortly after. I don’t know which is more difficult – the photographing a self portrait or the writing of 16 things about me……..

Anyway, here’s a self-portrait of me (not so much a photograph but more like a drawing based on a photograph) and 16 things (in no particular order) about me that you may or may not already know about :-)

  • 1. I was born breech; actually in the kneeling breech position. Which apparently is extremely rare – Guess that makes me rather special :-)
  • 2. I was a fat child – So fat that I didn’t walk down a hill… I just rolled myself down. HA HA HA HA HA. But seriously, I was over-weight when I was a child.
  • 3. I went to University to study fine arts and came home with a degree ;-)
  • 4. I’m a fully qualified hair stylist who had the honour (and pleasure) of training under Vidal Sasoon.
  • 5. I sleep walk – Not so much now as an adult, but as a child I do it almost every other day.
  • 6. I once posed nude in front of a class of 30 life-drawing students for an hour-long session. It was the most boring hour of my life – But I did end up sleeping with one of the art students!!!! We went out for about three months or so after that, but it didn’t work out.
  • 7. I’ll be 40 this year (2009). Yippie-Ka-Yeh!!!!
  • 8. I once did a TV commercial in Hong Kong for an international clothing company, where I was totally dressed in drag with the shortest, tightest mini skirt ever and a knee high 12inch leather boots to match, and I had to make out with this hot leather butch on a Harley!!!! It was a wild commercial. I had fun and the pay wasn’t bad either :-)
  • 9. I don’t believe in coincidences – Everything happens for a reason, and there’s a time and place for everything… Just that sometimes it isn’t very clear at that moment, but usually it becomes clear pretty soon.
  • 10. At the point of writing this, I can still put my feet behind my ears.
  • 11. I am convinced that if I’m a girl, I’d be drop-dead gorgeous with boobs to boot. Furthermore, I’d be a total slapper, but a genius with a Masters degree in Quantum Physics!!!
  • 12. I pretend that the only reason I like to watch rugby is because of the rugby boys – In actual fact, I do enjoy the game of rugby and enjoy watching the sport….. ok, the boys are hot too :-)
  • 13. I was diagnosed with OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) when I was a child. Because I was diagnosed early, I went through numerous cognitive therapies (my parents were not so shit-hot on the drugs therapies, which I guess is a good thing) which has helped me to adjust. OCD is a long-term mental illness, but I’m coping well.
  • 14. I ABSOLUTELY can’t bear the sight of fresh human blood. Fresh blood from poultry, meat, fish… whatever it is, I’m ok. But the sight of human blood – Booosch!!! I’m gone!!! Faint in three seconds flat !!! I’m ok with human gore & blood on TV or the movies – Just NOT THE REAL THING!!! I once cut myself whilst cooking, I was ok until I saw the blood oozing out of my finger – Bam!!! I hit the floor like a ton of bricks !!!
  • 15. After all these years, I still don’t get the triangle musical instrument – What’s that all about??
  • 16. I did ballet as a child, and I can still do my Grande PliĆ© and my Pas De Chat.
  • There you go – 16 things that you may or may not already know about me :-) So, who shall I tag now … hmmmmmm ????

      Is there an archival record of this TV commercial?
