Living in Dublin
and blogging about pop culture, movies and TV shows that take my fancy or make
me cross. I do snarky Sweet Valley High recaps and have a fondness for kickass
women, Jessica Fletcher, pin-up girls, cartoons from the Eighties and even the
occasional zombie. I also like making fun of Youth Defence and their
anti-choice cohorts, because they suck.
I was a regular
contributor to Ireland’s biggest beauty blog Beaut.ie and was listed as one of
the “12 New Faces For 2012” by Woman’s Way, which was really rather lovely of
them. I also won the Image.ie Blog Award for Best Wildcard in 2014. Wildcaaaard! *kicks over a table*
Here are some of
the other places that I’ve popped up online:
I wrote about the
scandalous Irish showgirl Lola Montez for the ferociously brilliant (though now
sadly dormant) feminist blog The Anti Room.
The blog may be dormant, but The Anti Room lives on as a series of entertaining and hugely interesting podcasts. I was invited to take part in their second one, which you can listen to here.

A story about me
being mortified on Patrick’s Street in Cork on A Chick Named Hermia.
Extolling the
badass virtues of Tank Girl's desert-punk dress sense on the fantastic style/culture
blog The Licentiate.
My lovely friend
and former blogmate Tess invited me to join her for one of her podcasts, where
we talked about The Room and the mysterious potential alien Tommy Wiseau. You
can listen to it here.
Before I became a weekly contributor to Beaut.ie, I wrote guest posts for the site about beauty and fashion gadgets from films that I wish existed in real life and TV ads that drove me crazy.
I'm also an occasional contributor to the wonderful Ramp.ie.

I took part in Plan Ireland's Because I Am A Girl blog project, you can read my post here.
I contributed a profile about notorious brothel madam of Georgian Dublin, Peg Plunkett, for the Women's Museum of Ireland, which was great fun to write because who doesn't love a historical bad girl?
