I’m Shopping For Blood

By vanessa | Published: November 18, 2011

Some of you may have noticed I am prone to hyperbole. When I said that someone fingerbanged me for seven hours, it may have been only three. Equally I do not really think E. Jean Carroll is a lush. So when I said that I saw someone ‘wearing a checked 3 piece vintage suit, and [...]

Love, You’re A Whore

By vanessa | Published: September 10, 2011

Maddalena: I love you Marcello. I want to be your wife. Be faithful. I want it all: to be your wife, and enjoy myself like a whore. Marcello: Tonight, I don’t know why, I felt like I loved you, like I needed you. Maddalena: Really? Marcello: Really. I’m not sure if you’re being serious tonight, or playing games with [...]

My Wallet’s Too Small For My Fifties And My Diamond Shoes Are Too Tight

By vanessa | Published: July 30, 2011

It’s difficult to explain exactly what is bugging me at the moment because I don’t want to sound like a big headed bitch. It’s probably best to just throw it out there, as is, no bullshit, and see how it goes. The problem is this: everyone keeps flirting with me. Now, before you roll your [...]

That Was Then, This Is Dumb.

By vanessa | Published: March 31, 2011

There are many things I’d like to chalk up to the foolishness of youth: dying my hair Andy Warhol blonde, developing a taste for MDMA, enjoying The Killers, wearing skirts as dresses; we all do silly things when our heads are full of hot air and weed. However there is one thing that is slightly [...]

I Hate You All And I Don’t Care About Your Damned Pets.

By vanessa | Published: February 23, 2011

Has anyone ever told you that they are a ‘people person’? Have you ever met that rare breed of person who thinks that the world is full of wonder, light, and people who are ready to love you and open their arms wide with happiness? If you have, then I’m sorry. I feel your pain [...]

Is This It?

By vanessa | Published: November 23, 2009

While on the bus to work a couple of days ago I sat near two old ladies. They were discussing the reasons women were marrying later and later, and sometimes not at all. It was, they reasoned, because women were too picky. Back in their day (I have no idea how old they were, but [...]

Choose Your Own Adventure.

By vanessa | Published: November 16, 2009

When I was a teenager I thought I wanted fast cars, fast people, bright lights and the big city. My life was so mundane that I wanted someone to come and sweep me away into a new one. So I waited patiently for someone to spin my world around but they didn’t come. My brain [...]

Why Am I Still Single?

By vanessa | Published: November 7, 2009

Once, at my parents’ annual New Year’s Day party, a friend of the family asked why I was still single. Though the first thing I wanted to say was “Why are you still such a nosy bitch?” but instead I smiled politely and said I hadn’t met the right person. As I turned to get [...]

Is This Stalking Yet?

By vanessa | Published: November 2, 2009

Six months or so ago I quit the internet. Technically I just left Facebook and Twitter but that constitutes 90% the internet so it’s the same thing to me. As an intensely competitive person I was spending too much time trying to figure out whether my life tallied up to that of my old school [...]
