Because of my hair, I rarely, rarely get recognized, but I was in America couple of weeks ago, and I was in a lift in a department store and the doors opened and this woman stood there, looked at me and just went, “Khaleesi!” and then the doors closed! So that was bizarre and rarely happens but when it does it’s normally on that kind of crazy scale.

Been doing heaps of outdoor skating this week. (I seriously needed the exercise, I’ve been so lazy). It’s so much fun and I’m starting to feel my leg muscles again. What I really need is a job as a rollerskating waitress.

Here’s my Top 20 of the last 20 years! I made it easier for myself by only picking songs that made it into the countdown originally. I also picked one song from every year. It was still bloody hard! But I’m happy with the list.

In the 101 top-grossing family films…from 1990 to 2004, of the over 4,000 characters in these films, 75% overall were male, 83% of characters in crowds were male, 83% of narrators were male, and 72% of speaking were male. When the American Psychological Association commented on this research, they said, ‘This gross under-representation of women or girls in films with family-friendly content reflects a missed opportunity to present a broad spectrum of girls and women in roles that are non-sexualised.’
