Last Year’s Girl?

Lis: Hyperbolic, Springsteen-loving arts journo/lifestyle blogger. Cats, cake and culture with a feminist buzzkill slant. Find me on the regular at The Herald, The Scots Magazine and The Arts Desk; or read more of my work through my Contently portfolio.

Believe the hype…

Last Year’s Girl... is all the things a great blog should be: well-written and passionate, with personal accounts sitting alongside wide-appeal journalism.
