This will be short stream of consciousness, scant of any proper analysis- you’ve been warned. I loved The Hunger Games book series, written by Suzanne Collins. In 2012 Lionsgate release an adaptation of the first book in the series, and I was so excited to see the dystopian world of Panem realised. As a fan …

Last week I tweeted some pictures of my favourite Spice Girl, Geri (aka ‘Ginger Spice’). The caption read ‘Gay Icon Spice’, because of all the Spice Girls I regard Geri to be the biggest gay icon. A friend then messaged me asking what exactly I meant by ‘gay icon’, and what constitutes one? He had …
Today I tidied my room. It never fails to amaze me how a simple thing like tidying your room can make you feel so much happier. I’ve been meaning to tidy mine for about half a millennia, and I ashamed to say that when I finally did it today the whole operation was more like …
I’m just going to throw it out there, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ is one of the best series currently on television. I love this show so much, and yet it seems as if not many people have watched it. I know only a handful of people who watch this gem of television, and I think it’s …

So it’s finally finished. After watching Game of Thrones for the last eight years (yes I was far too young when I started) this show has finally come to an end… and… yeah, it wasn’t great. There has been a lot of online debate about the end of this epic show, and I don’t really …
If you’ve read my last blog post on this subject, you’ll know that I have felt rather let down by the first two episodes of Game of Thrones, Season 8. But I went into Episode 3 optimistically, with hopes that the dull start of the season would be rectified by the start of the Great …

So if you know me, or get to know me, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of clothes. I have loads of clothes, so many that there’s no chance of me fitting them all in my wardrobe. I’ve recently returned to university, and as most students do when they get their loans, I went …

SPOILERS ARE COMING Game of Thrones finally came back to our screens last week, after 595 days of waiting… not that I was counting.
