hi there,
my name is Magill, and I call myself Lil but everyone knows me as Fritzi - and I'm your hostess for this afternoon! It is the 11433rd of September 1993 π and it's been 23500 days since The Beatles performed at the Indra in Hamburg for the very first time.
To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born. In October.
I'm tall, have blue eyes and blonde hair, attended school and then another school. And another.
I like the colour black, pizza and coffee, curry, bread, admire the work of singers John Lennon, The Beatles, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Sam Cooke, The Doors, Donovan, Jimi Hendrix, The Ronettes, The Band, Small Faces, The Lovin' Spoonful, Johnny Cash...
Film stars - Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen.
I like clothes which are dark in colour, suede, linen and corduroy.
My aesthetic can best be described as Beatnik.
I play the guitar - and sometimes I play the fool
- do spare-time writing and sport.
I like books, photography, and I'm a cinephile.
Being a typical βοΈ I do have a penchant for everything pretty.
I dislike thick heads.

- I love black & white photography and have several prints of David Bailey's Box Of Pin-Ups photoshooting featuring John Lennon & Paul McCartney and framed photographs of Astrid Kirchherr's '62 portraits of John Lennon & George Harrison.
- I've been a John Lennon & Yoko Ono fan first before I became a Beatles fan, too. Yes, it means I had a Two Virgins poster.
- I'm a citizen and ambassador of NUTOPIA.
NUTOPIA has no land, no boundaries, no passports, only people. NUTOPIA has no laws other than cosmic. - This scene from A Hard Day's Night changed my teen-age heart forever.
- I frequently quote the song introductions that The Beatles give during their many live concerts.
- I also quote A Hard Day's Night and Magical Mystery Tour a lot.
- When I'm feeling down I listen to this:
- My guitar is an Epiphone AJ-45ME Sunburst; of course inspired by John Lennon's Gibson J-160E.
- I love playing around with CSS and different fonts.
- When I was a wee kid, I imagined myself marrying Tony Nelson from I Dream Of Jeannie but eventually changed my mind when I saw what became of him once he got into the oil business in Dallas.
- 50s & 60s aside, I take a special interest in the history of the RAF and the Deutsche Herbst.
- My favourite animals are cats and birds, especially budgies and pigeons.
- Cher Ami is the greatest pigeon ποΈ of all time.
- I Write Like Chuck Palahniuk & Kurt Vonnegut.
- I also love old-school Sci-Fi & Fantasy, namely Star Trek, Star Wars and Dragonlance.
- I own several old school video game consoles.
- Despite my peaceful nature, I love first person shooter, Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
- But the best video game series by far is Uncharted!
- I love perfume and especially the ones with spices, gourmand, wood & mosses, resins & balsams and musk, amber & animalistic notes - my signature scent is Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir.
- I burn incense regularly, most certainly after I've cleaned my whole flat.
- Brutalist architecture is my favourite and summer to me smells like hot concrete.
- Swimming in the ocean π is bliss.
Every now and then, I put on my critic's cap and write about the media I consumed - or the media that consumed me. Occasionally, I record my odyssey through the peaks and valleys of web design and my attempts to make everything pretty.
