Thoughts Recent and Dusty
Extra, Extra
As a freelance writer, I've had opportunity to write on a wide selection of topics for different sites and print mags, from food + drink, theatre, art, music, Brexit, poetry, the five senses, growing up in London, the best choreo in music videos, and once memorably, as Oscar Wilde reviewing the best spots for Absinthe in London.

Wanna Throw A Ball, Slugger?
Feburary 19th, 2020
Arya Stark. Right? I mean, I've not watched a paltry second of Game of Thrones, ever (totally true, on my life) and even I am aware of the two milestones the 22-year-old scrappy thing has reached in her young life. She's had a shag and killed a big baddie. Basically James Bond, am I right? As a consumer of Westernised film and TV this is how it goes: ol' James Bond shoots and leaves like its his job (which it kind of is, now you think about it), ooh about a million times by now so what's the big furore? Why should it be so different, so 'wrong' for a 22 year old female assassin to get hers? Read the rest here: https://vocal.media/geeks/wanna-throw-a-ball-slugger

If you'd like to see the other theatre reviews you can ask and I will provide them.

Artist Interview for Blanc Magazine
June 25, 2018
Much established and respected art and fashion magazine Blanc Magazine commissioned me to interview American watercolour artist Fahren Feingold on the eve of her peep-show themed exhibition that opened that year in NY. Fahren was very generous in her answers and it made for a great interview. I remain a long-time fan of her accomplished, sensual and often funny work.
