So, I'm off to Florence, Italy for a few days. While I'm away (on the 7th), the draGnet passes two years of existence as a weblog. So please tilt a glass to the old lady on her second blogversary while I'm off...
Musician, designer, artist, writer, transgendered z-list celebrity. Insomniac's boyfriend. Tragic glamour and sleepless nights are my fellow travellers. Skinny jeans and pointy shoes are my mode-us operandi. I like cats. Especially the ones who talk. Oh, and David Lynch.
This website has been around in various guises since 1996. It was a conventional "pics and bio" type site until 2004 when it was reborn (v4.0) as a weblog. That version of the site was named among the top 50 "Great British Blogs" by .net magazine, in 2006.
There was another reboot in June 2008 giving birth to version 5.0, the website which you, dear reader, now hold in your hands. Please enjoy.
