Date of birth: A lady never tells her age. Star sign: Leo in the year of the water horse with a touch of Pluto and Mars. Pets: My fox stole. Favourite colour: Glitter. Favourite book: Bad Feminist. Favourite movie: How Stella Got Her Groove Back. Favourite TV show: I do love TV. Recently got one of those fancy plasmas installed. Anything will do to be honest as long as I've got a bowl of cashew nuts in close reach and am watching whilst in the bath and having a massage and a facial and being fed grapes and having a mani/pedi and spray tan.

Date of birth: 26 Star sign: Cancer Pets: None. My flatmates do have a cat called Snoop though (named after Snoop Dog). Favourite colour: Maroon? Or maybe like burnt orange. I don't know. I don't think I really have one. All the colours! Sometimes I think I should try and wear less colour but then I try and its impossible. Favourite book: My (most recent favourite) book is one called Stoner. It was published in the 1950s to not much success and then only really found fame quite recently. Favourite TV comedy: Broad City or The Mindy Project. Favourite TV drama: Six Feet Under. Favourite reality TV show: Survivor Favourite TV show at the moment: unReal. It's so great and combines all three genres and so feels both super trashy but also slightly like a real serious adult show.

Saraid will definitely write chocolate and if she doesn't she is lying ;-) Favourite place to hang out: At home in Nelson.
