Life advice from my other Alter Egos

Radicalgirl: she is interested in politics, economics and deep thinking......read a newspaper regularly, an intelligent one, even if you don't agree with it (left winger reads FT). Use the bbc news website to see what is happening in lots of other countries. Give money to charities and have a clearout of your home and wardrobe for charity.

Boredgirl: she is always wanting to do new things and gets bored easily....try and do something new every week. Eat new foods, go to new places, go to the cinema or the theatre. Check out new tv and radio programmes. Meet up with friends and talk about stuff.

Gothicgirl: she likes anything reminiscent of Hammer Horror films or Victorian thrillers.....go to gloomy historical places such as castles, neolithic stone circles and tombs or historic graveyards. Revel in the gothick novel atmosphere. Buy something to wear that is glamorously sinister, in black lace or velvet.
