Want to know more about me? ok....
I live in Highgate, London and work as an Executive Secretary for a publishing company, and so far, the job has met all my expectations! Lucky lucky me :)
I was born and raised in Paris, where I completed my studies and also attended the National School of Music for 12 years learning music theory, piano, flute and ballet. This might explains my everlasting passion for music.
I am a Pisces, and truthful to my sign, an eternal dreamer. And the wonderful thing in my life right now has been to find out over the last few months that some of my dreams are actually taking shape. I now truly believe that with a little faith, patience and perseverance, you can make any of your wishes come true.
My fascination for faeries dates back to my earliest days. Literature was made primordial in my life at a very early age, and faerie tale books were countless. I would get totally lost in those worlds of fantasies, myths, and I believe those who marked me the most were the Russian tales. They were so eerie and dark, my strongest memory is of the character Baba Yaga . Baba Yaga is a witch / ogress with iron teeth who lives in a hut that turns around and around on chicken legs. She flies through the air in her mortar, steering with a pestle and sweeping up her tracks with a broom. She was such a horrid character, she would install fright within my happy world, yet that is the story I read over and over and over again.
Could it be that my musical education combined with this strange fascination for dark fairie tales pulled me towards the darkwave scene in my later years?
I was drawn towards the punk scene at the tender age of 13 (much at the dismay of my family). The Damned had a major influence on me, from the way I started dressing to the books and movies I suddenly found myself lusting for. Life took more downs than ups as it is often the case in our teenage years, and in 1986, at a time when my vision of the world was very bleak, I found myself on a ferry back to France and heard 'Wasteland' by the Mission for the first time. It seemed that at last, someone was seeing the world as I was, I felt understood, I felt something I had not felt for a long time. Hope.
