Who I'd like to meet: Intelligent arty girls with enormous brains, who are into writing sensitive poetry, or searing prose, who like making music, who can draw the most spectacular illustrations, and who bang like a shed door in a hurricane.
Zira would like to meet similar people - but with one tiny difference.
