An Italian Woman’s View of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels

May 26, 2018

During my latest holiday back home in Italy, I finished Elena Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend four-book saga. I found it gripping, heart-breaking and terribly honest. In this article I will try to explain why it resonated with me, a 25-year-old woman born and bred in Italy. I’ll also feature some opinions from people who read it, … More An Italian Woman’s View of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie

March 26, 2018

Y’all know I’m a sucker for drag. I’ve always thought drag queens were pretty awesome, but since becoming a RuPaul’s Drag Race addict I need all the drag I can get. So as soon as I heard that Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, a musical about a 16-year-old drag queen, was hitting the West End, I … More Everybody’s Talking About Jamie

Macarons cooking class at Jenius Social

November 25, 2017

Before last week, making macarons was up there with swimming with dolphins and finding an agent to publish my novel: kinda possible, but kinda hard. Then I went to Jenius Social‘s Sunday cooking class and went home with a fresh, colourful batch of macarons made by moi and I’m now legit convinced miracles do happen. … More Macarons cooking class at Jenius Social

Black Cat Cabaret

November 17, 2017

I’ve loved Cabaret, Burlesque and acrobatic performances since before becoming a pole dancer, but after I joined the “upside down” crew, events like these are simply unmissable. Naturally then, I was thrilled to have been invited to the opening run of the Black Cat Cabaret‘s festive show, an evening I was looking forward to so … More Black Cat Cabaret

Skylight London Winter Launch

November 4, 2017

I’m typing this amidst the symptoms of a hangover, and the drinks I’ve had at Skylight London‘s winter relaunch (read: three, over several hours #Caro2Sips) are to blame. I could just go and get a bagel instead, but I’d rather get all my fact straight about what was the best rooftop experience I can remember. … More Skylight London Winter Launch

A Healthy Day in Carnaby

October 18, 2017

When thinking of Carnaby Street, the word “bliss” doesn’t often come to mind. Carnaby is cool, fun, full of yummy restaurants and binge-worthy shops… but damn, it’s busy. Still, on a sunny Autumn Sunday morning, I managed to discover Carnaby’s chill side in the Marshall Street Leisure Centre‘s stunning Hot Yoga Studio. My Sunday started … More A Healthy Day in Carnaby
