Personal Brief
http://raddestrightnow.blogspot.com

Works in the fashion industry but her interests also reach into the realms of photography, theatre, performance, art, music, literature and philosophy. Check out her blog (link above). Eleanor is Australian, but don't hold that against her. Would like to explore the world before it ends, learn a lot, meet lots of interesting people, have many fascinating conversations, appreciate what she has and always aspire to serenity. Hopes to travel to the world's great cities and unknown villages in an endless attempt to figure it all out. Loves her friends, family and the power of nature and hates insincerity, ignorance and disrespect, all in herself more than in others. Dreams of flying. Fears loneliness and regret. Believes wholly in beauty for the sake of beauty, love for the sake of love, freedom for the sake of freedom and in the subjectivity of language. Therefore, whatever this paragraph means to you, personally, is exactly what it is intended to mean and that is perfect.

London Fields - riding bike at any time of the day/night, sitting in and writing, sitting in and talking, sitting in and eating, sitting in and thinking, walking around observing, exercising, playing on the playground, playing tennis, drinking wine, meeting people - what more could one want in a location?

cre*a*tive

-(of a person) having good imagination or original ideas

noun

I love dictionaries, mine (a Dashboard dictionary) is so astute it recognises that "everyone likes to think that he or she is creative" and that "creative has become an advertising buzzword".

Indeed.

Good radio: Triple J, BBC 6 Music, BBC 3, Classic FM, Radio Campus Paris, FBi

What is your idea of a jolly good time?
Fabulous company, laughter, dancing, good wine, good cheese, sharing ideas, being profound, being respected, not taking any of it too seriously.

What happened the last time you were a complete disgrace?
I try to never completely disgrace myself, I do it by increments.

In this city, where is your most romantic spot?
Most recently, The Palm Tree pub at Mile End and its beautiful environs.
