Kiss Alive I & II First Metal concert: I guess the early 90s when all bands started touring Australia like Skid Row, Warrant, Motley Crue, Whitesnake Band or other music industry experience: What haven't I done? Singer -- performing since I was 8
Favorite bands/artists: How long have you got!?
Least favorite bands/artists: I don't waste energy or time thinking about things that don't impress me Most overrated bands/artists: see above comment Most underrated bands/artists: I think every metal band is underrated in one way or another Favorite album cover: Don't understand how people get a happy when they see the artwork of a CD prior to release, I don't really pay attention to artwork but do get frustrated then the sleeves are unreadable because of the artwork 10 favorite albums: (in no particular order) This is always so hard because I forget what I have most of the time.
CD you hate to admit is part of your collection: Jason Donovan - it's there because of a person involved in its production Spoken Languages: English, Russian and basic German Hobbies: I'm consumed by endless renovations on house that was neglected for 30 years Pet peeves: Ignorance, liars and discourteous people Favorite films: See Spot Run, Turner and Hooch (what can I say? I'm a woman of simple pleasures), Queen Margot (French), Not Everyone is Fortunate Enough to have Communist Parents (French), Peculiarities of the Russian Hunt/Fishing Trip (Russian), Wall-E, Horton Hears a Who Favorite books: I keep re-reading the Harry Potter series and am hooked on the Anita Blake series Favorite TV shows: Big Bang Theory, Kommisar Rex reruns; Supernatural; since becoming a regular traveller I like the customs/boarder control shows; NCIS; Tell Me Lies has just started her and first episode was good; Food Safari (SBS); Long Way Down (Across); I watch way too much tv at night-it's how I relax Favorite food: I love lots of flavours. Good celebrations are all about prawns, usually tiger have the sweetest meat. Mangoes, icecream (had a wicked espresso gelato in Rome last summer), hazelnuts in food: hazelnuts in chocolate, hazelnut icecream and there's an awesome hazelnut muesli you can get in Austraia Favorite drink: coffee, vodka, mead, dry or sour apply cider; Pimms, mojito is the cocktail of the summer Which song should be played at your funeral: err a lot of Gregorian chanting Person you'd most like to meet: I've met a lot of them already and I doubt it would be anyone profound unless it was someone from the past whom I would like the bitch slap and ask "What the hell were you thinking?" Biggest thrill in life (so far): a first kiss (with anyone), international metal festivals Five favorite links:
