Heh, fame by association!

Is this going to turn into your Celebrity Shag story? One of my former friends was of the opinion that everyone should have one (hers was Roland Gift!!)...

I have not shagged anyone on the current mercury list :(

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

I think if that was the requirement for the story, not that many people would have a CS tale.

Unless "being a right old slapper" became a requirement for nomination - would at least make things more interesting, I suppose.

Honestly though, is there anyone on the list you'd *want* to shag? Natasha Khan, maybe, she does have nice make-up.

Florence and her machine

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

Eee, I'll be saying no, ta. Too annoying for me.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I can't see how she could be more annoying than Khan. Do you mean as a person or their music or wha?

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

Musically. I don't know her as a person! Although I don't like the outfits I've seen her in.

I find BFL OK but a bit bland, rather than annoying. Has nice moments, but can't always remember it afterwards. F&TM I find wilfully twee, though.

tbh how annoying their music is is pretty irrelevant wrt whether i find them attractive or not (obv they might be annoying as people for other reasons but i'm just going by appearance - not even dress sense!). i realise it can work the complete opposite way for some tho.

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

It's all about personality for me. And in the absence of that, music is as close as I'm likely to get. Which means music isn't always a determining factor - could be behaviour in public - but might have a bearing at times.

I'm bad at this fancying celebrities thing, because I'm not terribly visual!

Word; her pins looked bloody amazing at T4 On The Beach, too.
