Ananya studies History and Anthropology at Goldsmiths. She describes herself as a fashion crazy, androgynous men hunting, gross face pulling, dinosaur drawing, cat loving, Korean boy band pervin', heel lusting, angry ranting, style stalking, gun slingin' (in Unreal Tournament!) girl and her blog sets out to capture all these things.
What's your favourite place in London?
My favourite place in London is and always has been Soho and Chinatown, I love how vibrant it is there (and I'm a sucker for Chinese pork buns, only £1.20).
What's your biggest addiction?
Music-wise - Kpop, I can't get enough of it. Food-wise - Baklava, I could eat 20 boxes of the stuff! Hobby-wise - Drawing dinosaurs. Person-wise - I'm completely addicted to everything about Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, especially after meeting her in Tokyo, I can't stop listening to her music, and her style is awesome!
What will make you scream?
Leeches, I can't stand them! I get scared pretty easily though, so anyone who tries to scare me from behind will most likely get a scream out of me.
What's your guilty pleasure?
Singing! Whenever all my housemates are out, I turn my music up to full volume and belt out songs as if I were on a stage haha. I also love singing ballads at karaoke.
