Pets: 3 cats (and sometimes my mum's 2 lunatic dogs)
Passions: photography (duh!), art, literature, skiing, riding, cooking, good food and great company, long walks, dancing, laughing til your stomach aches and the tears stream down your face.
What turns me on: honesty, openess, intelligence, sassiness, walking barefoot on grass and sand, sunshine, open fires, strawberries and champagne, red wine and dark chocolate.
... and off: ignorance, deliberate obtuseness, dishonesty, vacuousness, poor table manners (major, major turn off, can't begin to tell you just how much).
Languages: Italian, German, French, a smattering of Spanish. One might say I'm a cunning linguist. Christ alive! that was poor, sorry.
Ambitions: get pilot's license, my own exhibition and accompanying coffee table book, learn to cook rice properly (or, even better, find someone who cooks perfect rice for me - UPDATE: have now found someone who can cook rice - yey!), own a beautiful, sleek, purring Aston Martin Vanquish... and christen it ...
Incidentally, why is there no category for favourite theatre/plays? Macbeth (I've seen at least 5 different productions), any Shakespeare except effing Midsummer Night's Dream, oh, too much here.
