An interview with me, taken by me..

Name? Lil Miss Wire

Sex? Grrrl

Ok so what's your real name?: Alex Nightingale but I have many aliases.. Such as The fascist dictator of the revolution of feather boas, Miss Wire,.. etc.. I'm also Corey from Slipknot (don't ask - long story - long and boring story) and most recently I've become Little Alex - not because I like rape, Beethoven's ninth symphony or ultra violence.. simply because my name's Alex and I got called it on work experience.. and I'm kinda little..

D.O.B? 13/7/86 - that makes me 15 - I am but a child..

Shoe size? 7 - Jesus that's a boring question.. I do like shoes though.. big chunky boots and huge Buffalo ones..

Eye colour? Blue

Hair colour? Lovely dark brown roots.. then a long blondey-gingery bit then ends with the black I just couldn't bleach out.. I think.. oh hell I'm not sure - if you have any suggestions how to desscribe my hair, or any ideas of what I could do with it (considering it does look rather dodgy) just email me (featherboa_grrl@nme.com) - and please don't be mean..

Favourite people: My lovely family - especially Lauren for all her help with my site and Clare whose thousands of NMEs, Melody Makers, Selects, Kerrangs etc.. have come in very handy.. David for being such a constantly great friend, Hannah for being another fantastic friend, Laura for all her support, letters and safety pins, Joey for being fantastic, Dad for buying the computer that helped me do this - although he has broken it a fair few times and all the wonderful staff at Virgin Peterborough (and half of the people who subsequently left..) cos they all rock!! .. I <3 you all..

If you were a sandwich what sort would you be? Umm, cheese and pickle or something with gherkins in.. Who wrote these shit questions? Oh, darn.. that would be me..

Do you play an instrument? Yeah - I play violin and I've just passed my grade 4 and I'm attempting to teach myself to play the electric guitar.. I'm not doing too badly.. I can change strings when they break now..

Marmite - Love or Hate??? Well I think I'm an exception - it's kinda OK.

If you were PM for the day, what would you do? Umm firstly I'd give loads of money to the NHS and schools and stuff because it's obvious that Tony Blair isn't capable of it...then I would get loads of houses built for the homeless and finally I'd make the Big Issue interesting so that people would actually buy it and help the homeless...

Favourite Manic? That's a pointless, irrelevant and mean question - give them all the respect they deserve!!

What do you look like? Er, like that picture over there - I didn't think I looked that moody but well perhaps I do! Considering nobody liked my old photo ( Stuart you meanie! ) I thought I'd put this amazingly cheerful pic up for you all to laugh at..
