Likes looking at handsome boys, hoboish but still handsome boys, and, in desperate situations where there are no boys, Hackett and Burberry catalogues for photographic representations of handsome boys.

Also quite likes books, sometimes written by handsome boys.

There’s something very queer about the warren this evening

Fiver’s vision of blood over the fields, and the weird bit with with the rabbits heads coming down the warren network and then combining in a mass of red eyes and teeth? Yeah.

I know. Me too.
As a child I found Watership Down genuinely scary, and it made me cry (Bigwig in a trap… Hazel trying [...]

The new Richard and Judy

Or, the worst book club ever.

Oh! children of future generations. One day some of you will come across this in your grandmother’s house. You’ll ask her what the fuck this is about only for your septuagenarian ancestor to babble about her love for a fictional beige-clad Volvo-driving prude, reveal her oeuvre of Alternate Universe fanfiction and [...]

If I had a pet falcon I’d call it Merlin

On a recent trip to Cornwall, I was disappointed when an attempted quest to a promising looking stone structure (a quest for a magical artifact, naturally) was scuppered by a very high fence, an unamused looking security guard and a sign saying ‘by appointment only’. As anyone else who spent a part of their childhood [...]

13 again

When all your friends go to a music festival and you don’t, you too can get drunk at home, listen to Folk Implosion, watch Kids and remember your shameful weirdo teen crush on Casper.

If you drink enough you might think it’s a good idea to skate for the first time in years.

cute boys cute boys cute boys, um, cute. boys.

That’s what my thoughts sound like. Or should that be thought?
Cute boys are probably my longest-running interest, apart from books. Sometimes I like to combine the two by going to the bookshop on Charing Cross Road where the cute boy works, or by reading about cute boys. Just now I pretended to read an article [...]

Ou est le discotheque?

Claude Francois IS the discotheque, and his snake-hips are the light-up dancefloor. Sadly his amazing dancing didn’t mean he had the smarts not to change a lightbulb standing in a half-full bathtub. But that’s no reason not to watch every video of him dancing you possibly can. If I walked into a club full of [...]

I hope he knits sweaters too

All Knit Long

Sweaters We Wish Had Been (Undone) combines three of my favourite things – musicians, tenuous puns and knitwear. Some of the choices are uninspired, but there are some delights, like Lionel’s lurex mix, two JTs (James Taylor in neutral perfection and Timberlake’s white rollneck) and Elton’s dangerously strokeable sweater.

Fierce.

Here, Boyz II Men have quite rightly been [...]

is that a broom in your pocket…

…or are you just excited for the Half-Blood Prince?
Our best friend often says I am “so Slytherin”. I’m not sure if that’s meant to be a compliment, but I’m taking it as one, especially after watching this:

I’m off to read some Tom Riddle fanfic and practise my ‘Lady Voldemort’ signature.

Are you a woman who has most of the extensive goddess-qualifications?

One gentleman’s quest to find his goddess
Don’t worry, his terms are negotiable, although as a “Global Visionary” and an inventor of technology which will re-define the entire computer industry (as well as the powerful sexual skills suggested by his forceful use of caps), I don’t see why he should have to.
His search for a lady is [...]

men in boots

This was an accidental discovery while looking for riding boots. I was at work at the time, but that wasn’t going to stop me from exploring the sensual world of men in boots.

You can select who to lust after either by their face, their preferred boot, or in some cases their seductive nickname (sometimes disappointing, I [...]

This is how it’s done.

a harsh mistress

Oh Ethan from 90210. You were the surprise of the show, the boring jock that somehow became all kinds of awesome after your comic timing let you break free from your initial role as the boy rope in Annie and Crazy Naomi’s tug of war. I really liked when you got a man crush on [...]
