I'm said friend, joined based on a promise of gaming and occasional borderline alcoholic shenanigans. Both very relevant to my interests.
A little about me, I'm an Argentine-born Texan living in London. I subsidise my existence as a UI/UX designer in a fintech startup. Shorthand, I design apps to help people manage their money in a non-sucky way.
I have a wide variety of nerdy interests, mostly gaming & sci-fi orientated, which I'm sure will surface as I come out of lurking.
My username is from the cult sci-fi Barbarella, as per my penchant for villainesses. The Great Tyrant is the first, and possibly last, woman to wear a crotchless spacesuit, and if that isn't worth celebrating then I don't know what is. Google at your own peril.
Hullo there and welcome!
I have seen Barbarella as part of my relentless drive to watch 60's and 70's movies. As far as camp goes, it makes Flash Gordon look like 2001: A Space Odyssey. I did find the bit with the dolls with biting metal teeth horribly unnerving however! Good villainess indeed, that Anita Pallenberg.
My favourite villainess ever in movies wot I have seen however remains Kiss Me Deadly's ultimate femme fatale. She's a crazy gamine sadist, arrives completely out of left field, and is part of probably one of the best endings of a movie ever.
