For all the annoying queens

I don't wear it in a bun cos buns make your hair fall out faster. Personally, I'm not really into heels. As I said, I'm 1.75m (5ft 9in) -- that's tall for a girl. Love sneakers, but the ballet flats are fun too. A few centuries ago, that's what everyone in the aristocracy wore. I know Jane made a big thing out of boots and jeans, but she had the body for that: I'm curvier. I usually wear hats in summer, but I need to buy a new one. - I haven't been diagnosed with scoliosis or any back issues. It's just a side effect of playing guitar since I was 5; violinists have slanted chins. My freaky fingers are also very typical for pianists and guitarists. I didn't do much work on posture as a guitarist until university, so when I switched from classical to rhythm guitar a few years ago, I fell back into the way that I did it when I was a teenager. - For reals, the right headdress will cover the bald spot and add volume to the front. Like, I've got a style that I'm doing, and I don't have any real plans to change it. So, this ethnic fusion style and me living the same life I lived before the transition? I'd rather that than making a lame movie based on the same thing. Life before the transition = commissions, students, friends, film projects. That's something that people could help deliver in 2025. - The documentary is great, and this Christmas Special might satisfy the few people that aren't happy with how Chloe and I used the media to service our agenda.


In my defence, nobody's formally complained. Off the record, the right wing are quite cheesed off at my cartoons, but they're clever and it's not really about likenesses. Plus the media totally brought their own perspective and talking points, so it wasn't some conspiracy manufactured by us in a dark room: it was just a natural outgrowth of the fact that Gary and I had some notoriety and lots of journos had seen us around. There isn't any Question Time today, so no review.
