Yes this is me having a rant but I think its deserved.

I recently found out that a large portion of the Stables market in Camden has been sold off to turn into a shopping center. Why?!? Camden market holds an attraction for me because of its uniqueness. It hosts anumber of shops that aren’t found elsewhere, its also one of the few places in London I can go to without being stared at and considered a freak because of the way I dress.

So what would a shopping center mean for the area, firstly as mentioned the loss of some very unique retailers not to be found anywhere else. Secondly the shopping center area will slowly become trendy, which will spread to the surrounding area as the rent is pushed up and people can no longer afford to continue with their businesses.

The result Camden becomes inudated with stupid people who only come to point and laugh at the freaks, rather that the refuge it was before, or even worse, is lost to us forever to become taken over by big companies and mass marketing.

Although they will probaly still ignore it the petition against this can be found here

I’m not in a good mood today following the stupid ITV news teams report on that shooting in Canada yesterday. Apparently the guy was a goth because he had a Moehawk haircut and a black trenchcoat! They then went on to say about the Columbine kids being members of a “goth cult.” Correct me if I’m wrong but goth never has been and never will be a cult!

I’m now rather worried for how this will affect those of us going to Wrecked at the weekend, and possibly the chance of us saving the Intrepid Fox from property developers. “Why would we want a load of people like that in a residentual area!”

Its just so sad that people can’t see the difference and the innocent theefore have to suffer

The other day at work I heard one girls loudly complain that she “has the smallest breasts in the world!” One look was enough to tell me she was larger than me!

It doesn’t seem right that young girls feel presured into having huge breasts to be attractive, there are many women who are small and just as beautiful, to focus on one part of female anatomy and say if it doesn’t meet these criteria your not attractive just seems wrong, after all their primary function is not to be gawped at!

Following a trip to Camden on Sayurday to get some new Docs I was struck by how true this statement is. For some reason Camden seemed to have been injected with hundreds of random tourists. So firstly the place was more packed than I’ve ever seen it.

Secondly and more importantly it was packed with a load of stupid people who seemed to find everything wonderfully amusing. They milled around laughing and taking photos of anything and everything. In fact one tried to take a picture of the stall holder I was talking to, however was soon told in no uncertain terms that if you’re not going to be polite and ask then you can move on.

As she quite rightly said to me the people there pay a lot of money to have a stall, they are not a museum for you to gawp at. They are real people who should be shown that respect.

Stupid tourists

Tuesday I woke up with a stinking cold. As such I was sent home from work that afternoon, namely on the condition I would be ok the next day. Wedensday I was sent home again and this time I was told not to come back on Thursday. This also meant I missed what was possibly one of the more important panto rehersals as we were going to have been doing the king and queens scenes, ie my scenes!

So I have basically spent the past three days feeling miserable. I hate this weather!!!
