When you see a fantastic colour or cut in a magazine, perched up on some famous so-and-so's head, it's tempting to ask your stylist for the same, but DO NOT BE FOOLED. The hair in those fancy photos can be very high maintenance.

I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.

I work really well under pressure but I really hate doing things on a timeframe.

You know, either I'm too fat or I'm flavour of the month. I don't feel either, but maybe I'm both, who knows?

Portland is a place where you can find a community as a feminist, a vegan or a fat activist. Artists, musicians, knitters, and filmmakers can all meet like-minded souls. It's proved the perfect place for me and all my punk friends.

I'm not sure that I am able to feel embarrassment.

I'm a great believer in karma and the vengeance that it serves up to those who are deliberately mean is generally enough for me.
