Nominated by @ojtheviking ! Thank you sweetness.
1. Name
I'm known as Tommy or Tommy Rose :) It's become more than a nickname and a lot of people now don't even know my real name. I don't really connect or feel an affinity with my real name and Tommy feels more like home to me.
2. Sign
I'm an Aquarius! 12th of February. I'm also very typically Aquarius in my traits!
3. Favourite TV show
I don't really watch a lot of TV! I enjoy period dramas and things set way back in the day, also crime dramas and paranormal things!
4. Favourite drink
Overall, water. I used to have a really unhealthy addiction to Coca Cola! I'm trying hard now to drink more water and I definitely am seeing the benefits. Also, nothing can beat a good cup of tea.
5. Favourite alcoholic drink
I don't drink alcohol at all if ever! When I do, I drink Disaronno and coke or cranberry juice!
6. Favourite season
I really really used to love the winter season and being cosy inside with jumpers and hot drinks and movies but this winter has made me realise how much I miss the heat of the summer! I feel like at the moment it's constantly dark and it zaps my motivation, I'm definitely more motivated during the summer time and feel a lot happier!
7. Favourite band
Oh nooo, I'm not good with these questions at all! I love so much different music and go through stages of loving certain genres over another and repeating different songs over and over until I get sick of them! So instead of band I'll say my favourite genres are rock, metal, grime, rnb and really... anything I can dance to!
8. Favourite store
Ooooh, this is also hard! I love online shopping, especially for shoes and cute lingerie for shoots. My favourite underwear brands that I've collected since I was about 17 are Agent Provocateur and Honey Birdette.
9. Favourite kind of book
I love love LOVE poetry, some of my favourite poetry is by a wonderful author called Lang Leav. I also like reading books on pyschology and sex!
10. What is a cause you are really passionate about?
I'm really passionate about mental health and spreading awareness. Sometimes it's hard for me as my mental health struggles inhabit me and I can't voice how much I want to about certain situations but I will always be a mental health advocate and have open ears and heart for anyone that needs to talk.
11. What did you study or learn?
I studied art for a long long time in college and then went on to study fashion but if I'm honest all of it was useless. I am a creative person at heart and even though you can extend your skills through classes I think a lot of it comes from your own head and abilities, aside from that I wanted to learn how to be a mental health counseller, but by the time I realised this I never got to study what I wanted as classes were too expensive so I ended up reading and teaching myself a lot of what I know.
12. What is that one song that is stuck in your head?
I currently have the whole of the new Stormzy album constantly going roung my head sprinkled with the occasional outburst of Thunderstruck by AC/DC? How is this even possible.
13. Where would you like to live?
I have always always always wanted to live by the sea! I love being by a beach but I'd also like to be somewhere warmer where I can feel free and motivated and happy. I'm not sure if that's in England or not, but wherever it is I hope I find it!
14. Who influenced you most?
I don't really have any influences that I can name? All my family, my friends, the people I work with every time that push me to be a better person! but no one inparticular.
15. Who is your favourite celebrity couple?
I don't really pay attention to celebrities' love lives just like @ojtheviking ! Say that I was a complete lover of Dita and Marilyn Manson when they were together, what a power couple that was!
16. What is your most used emoji?
Oooo, all the heart ones and the eyes ahaha!
17. What helps you relax?
A lovely bubble bath with a face mask, listening to music, snuggling in fresh pjs in fresh sheets. I'm a creature of habit and love my bed!
18. What topic do you think shouldn't be taboo? Sex work, sex workers rights, talking opening about mental health, talking about trauma, talking about feelings. I feel like a lot is taboo now days, it's very 'keep yourself to yourself and get on with it' and it's not healthy to live so restricted. I genuinely am never shocked by anything anyones ever told me and keep an open mind and heart with any subject and would hope others could do the same!
19. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?
Probably 4 years ago when I left my abusive relationship and built myself up again from the bottom up. Since then I've perfomed at Download Festival with the lovely girls of SG Disgrace and have also worked for Google and Channel 4!
20. What do you want to achieve in your life?
Honestly, I just want to be happy; when I can look at myslef in the mirror and smile knowing I'm completely at peace with the life I lead and who I am, I will have accomplished the number one thing I strive to do.
