That was just the practice shot.

I was kissing Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream… what can I say?

Also, strictly speaking, the premise of your theme – Prince And The Revolution – is ruined by the inclusion of SOTT, as the band only features on one song. See. I knew you should’ve gone with ATWIAD!

I reckon the pocket of used Trojans would be the more likely deal-breaker *shudders*

If I was a blogger – but then again, no.

That may well have been a Prince lyric, to be fair.

Or no satisfaction.

Used to love Popswop in the glam era…made scrapbooks of the posters. I so wish I’d held on to them.

I tend to buy all of my fiction and most of my non-fiction choices on Kindle now; most of my actual books have been confined to storage as the bookshelves are nearly at full capacity. The only physical books I buy […]

More likely Count Blount.

Is that you, Martin?

With a love like that…

Kylie. Multi-faceted, multi-talented… she’s earned her ‘credibility’ but she’s always had my heart.

Also, Sarah McLachlan, a voice to die for and an outstanding songwriter.
