About Me
- Name: Kaite

Having been a former artists' model and recovering academic, Kaite is now an author, blogger and freelance journalist. In between trying to stave off writer's block with retail therapy and over-hyped, mass-produced media, she writes for The Guardian, Lesbilicious, Mookychick and herself. Her weaknesses include lipgloss, flavoured vodka, TV shows where the sassy grrl sidekick saves the day, angsty girls with guitars and expensive notebooks. She refuses to accept that she has too many books.
