writes about clothes, shoes, hair, make-up, accessories, fashion - anything that's appearance-related, and a good deal else, because appearances are just the beginning.

Rapunzel of Wellington
Nyere has had her hair cut once in her 12 years. Not only is it long, though, it's strong and gleaming, right to the end of her lovely plait. I saw her walking down the road with her mother and leaped from the car with my camera.
I'm a writer. Sometimes I write fiction and sometimes I'd rather do something else, like earn money, travel or dance tango. Whatever I do, I never stop looking. So this blog is about looking to write, writing to see, and seeing to think. I was once the kind of feminist who believed it was wrong to delight in such things. Now I'm the kind of feminist who doesn't believe that at all. I will never, as Linda Grant puts it, go beige into that good night.
Wow, what gorgeous hair and such a beautiful colour! Well done Jane.
