Spot the difference.
Me in November 2017. It's a selfie taken in front of a work bathroom wall. In it I have an undercut on one side with my hair swept over to the other, reaching just below my chin. The end of my hair is dyed purple, but the rest is brown. I have a purple cardigan on over a white shirt. Me in November 2025. A selfie taken in the bathroom at my hairdressers. I have long rainbow hair flowing to half way down my upper arm. I am wearing a dress with space patterns on, planets and spaceships. I am looking up to the top left of the image.

Reignited.
A selfie of me in a bathroom mirror. My rainbow hair is brighter and now has orange at the top, cascading through the other colours in order. It is slightly wavey and reaches half way down my upper arms. I am wearing a blue space dress with planets and spaceships covering it and glasses. I am looking up the the top left of the frame.

I saw this dress the other day and I could finally fulfill my dreams of dressing like a Kingdom Hearts character.
A black dress. It has a zip down the middle and several buckles all over.

I just got the loveliest write-up from a gig I did a couple of weeks ago 😭
So, I was delighted to be able to book a long-time fan of ours and recently new comic, Jonathan Lloyd. A real textbook comedy nerd (affectionate, also same). These can go either way. Being well read and versed in stand-up as a consumer andaudience member doesn’t neccesarily translate into being able to practice it successfully. But Jonathan Lloyd is a comedian who has taken so immediately to it that even less than 20 gigs in they’re absolutely smashing it. It was, I must say surreal to have such a new comic make so many references to being mistaken for me and incorporate jokes about our similarity on stage as if I’m not also a baby newbie comic who is in well over her head and no one has told to stop yet (nearly at 14 years performing, what the fuck). But it was a marvellous set of in-jokes in possibly the only comedy room in the world where they would be able to do that and have people get it, unless I become unbelievably successful over the next few years. (I’ll try my best so you can keep those jokes, promise.) But beyond that, Jonathan just has such a firm grasp of comedy writing and performing as an art, each section tightly written and structured with relentless word efficiency, expert delivery, and a strong distinct voice going through their whole routine. They are someone who it feels like should have always been doing comedy, and I am delighted that they are now doing so. Their comedy presence is a net benefit to the scene, and we’ll defo be having them back as soon as possible.

Happy to be the one person with taste.

Enjoy me looking wryly at my own content warnings.
I am standing on stage in a black dress with space patterns and sea mammals swimming around them, my hair is tied back and I am holding a microphone and looking to the top left of the image. Behind me is a slide which reads: Jonathan Lloyd They/Them Content Warnings Harassment Homo/Transphobia Religion To the right is a headahot of me.

Sometimes I'm cute.
I am lying down on my sofa, my rainbow hair is loose and in front of my shoulders. I am wearing glasses which I am holding with my left hand and looking at the camera.

There's a bit in Josie Long's show where she gets out a UV light and I regret that it's getting cold now and I'm covering up my arms because I have so few places I go and can actually show off my tattoo.

Coincidentally what I'm spinning this morning!

Wake Up Dead Man
A cinema auditorium. On screen is a slide saying "BFI London Film Festival 2025 Welcome to LFF at Science+ Media Museum" I am holding a glass of orange juice out in front of me towards the screen. There are several rows of seats in front of me, slowly filling up.

City Varieties is the perfect venue for this.
The stage at the City Varieties theatre. Five chairs and three microphones are set out in front of a red curtain. There is an "On Air" sign suspended from the ceiling. To the right of the stage is a table containing a pair of boots and a box labelled "BBC". The stage is framed by white pillars, with a red and gold stage curtain hanging above.

Home to my favourite sign on the door of a church at the top of the cliffs:
Printed out A4 sheet on a wooden door reading "Please do not ask staff where Dracula's grave is as there isn't one. Thank you"

Makeup wearing friends, where is a good place to buy fun coloured lippy.

This is my favourite shade that I've been wearing for years but was discontinued a while back and I'm slowly coming to the end of the bulk I bought of them when that happened.
Product photo of a purple matte lipstick by Nyx, the colour is called Zen Orchid.

I went to the doctor to check for this as well, but it turns out most of these symptoms are just "You work in the games industry."
Symptoms of an underactive thyroid Symptoms of an underactive thyroid may be mild and may not be easy to notice. Common symptoms include: feeling extremely tired (fatigue) feeling cold more than usual putting on weight constipation difficulty concentrating or thinking clearly low mood or depression dry skin, dry hair or hair loss a croaky (hoarse) voice irregular or heavy periods if you have them

It's not far off.
Screenshot from the video game Dead Space. A man in a tech suit is looking at a corpse on the ground in front of a workbench in an engineering corridor. Behind the workbench is a poster with the words "Cut off their limbs" scrawled in blood.

Thanks, Yakuza.

Apparently it's four years since I got my first tattoo and it's making me want to get another one. Should sort that once Edinburgh is done.
