Romany - Diva of Magic's Interests

I love theatre, variety, live music, film, bling, sparkly things and more sparkly things, costumes, and more dancing... Biking all over the place, writing and learning new stuff...adore speaking foreign...
Music
Love dancing to Salsa, Reggaton and swing dancing to music from 1940's - 1950's. At home I listen mainly to female singer/songwriter stuff. Love racing along on bike to heavy rock.

About me:
I have this alter-ego the Diva of Magic, who is fabulous, flamboyant, dressed up in corsets and feathers and bling who has a 'divine assistant' called Angel who deals with the earthly day to day, a trainer called Paul who gets me sweating with de boxing gloves a couple of times a week, a costume mistress Neat who is de mistress of the sewing machine... the Diva appears about Town performing miracles of magicial prestidigitation and cabaret, making peeps laugh and wonder....
As Romany, I spend my time rehearsing new magic numbers for the Diva, making sure her car works, ironing the costumes and sticking the lost sequins back on... I love dancing and after the Diva has retired to her boudoir with her Brazilian boys after the gig, I zap out to London town to wear out my shoes on the swing and salsa dance floors, then going to hang out at Soho House with my friends mainly magicians/musicians who have also just finished gigs to sip on a nice mug of tea til closing time...
I live in Brighton in a large shared house of musos, loving the light and cafes, biking by the sea every day, and enjoy my pied a terre in London to rest one's weary head after gigging and dancing til the early hours...
Who I'd like to meet: Positive fabulous zanny people, peeps that make you laugh and be encouraged, colourful, positive, inspired and inspiring, joyful folk!
