She's our Scottish correspondent, tucked away in a little house on a windswept moor, somewhere in the depths of North Scotland (Again, that's what I like to think). Check out the following insight into her personality, including why crustaceans make her employ some heavy breathing... Name: Amber McNaught Shiny Job: Writer for Catwalk Queen, Shoewawa, Bridalwave and Shiny Shiny. What life? Hometown: Just outside Edinburgh, Scotland Five favourite web 2.0 sites (besides shiny ones): [flickr.com](https://www.flickr.com/) _planetfeedback.com_ [youtube.com](https://www.youtube.com/) [wikipedia.org](https://www.wikipedia.org/) del.icio.us Last 3 gigs you went to: Oh Lord. I'm too old for gigs now, alas. In fact, I can't even remember the last ones… Last 3 books you bought: Because I like to spend all my money on shoes (and to get my money's worth out of the council tax), I get all my books from the library. So the last three I borrowed would be The Five People You Meet in Heaven – Mitch Albom, The Half-Life of Stars – Louise Wener, Kate Atkinson – Case Histories Last 3 albums you bought: Liz Phair, Whitechocolatespaceegg (but only because I lost my first copy), REM Around the Sun, Leonard Cohen, Greatest Hits Last 3 DVDs you bought: Spooks Season 1, 24 Season 1 and, er, Billy Blanks Tai Bo. In the film of your life you'd be played by: I'd like to say someone like Nicole Kidman here, but I'm guessing they'd probably get the kid who played [Orphan](https://allwomenstalk.com/awesome-orphans-from-the-literary-world/) Annie, only all grown up. What song would you pick for the soundtrack to your life: 'A Long December' – Counting Crows Which female AND male 'sleb would you do the dirty with: Sawyer from Lost and probably Angelina Jolie. Favourite beach: There's a little cove at North Berwick (on the east coast of Scotland) where I've been going since I was a kid. That one. What have you got in your pocket: Fingerssess, my precioussss. (Did everyone say that?) What colour toothbrush do you have: Pink! What song would you want played at your funeral: Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now – The Smiths Tell us one secret about you that people wouldn't expect: It's not really a secret, but I have such a severe phobia about crustaceans that I can't even touch a picture of one. In fact, I'm starting to hyperventilate here just thinking about it. If you were a car, what would you be: An old 57' Chevrolet What is your favourite item of clothing: My shiny new Vera Wang wedding dress. What colour pants do you wear (Stolen from Smash Hits circa 1991): Any colour, as long as they match my bra. I'm a bit anal like that. What was your first alcohol experience like (stolen from Pop Bitch): I can't remember it, so I'm assuming it must have been pretty damn good… If you were a videogame character who would you be: Has anyone made a videogame revolving around a Clumsy Writer Girl yet? ## Related Posts - [hembreezy](https://allwomenstalk.com/friday-fashion-blog-favs-the-it-lists-fashion-finds-24/) - [Friday Fashion Blog Favs ...](https://allwomenstalk.com/friday-fashion-blog-favs-the-it-lists-fashion-finds-5/) - [News Web Blog Weekly round up](https://allwomenstalk.com/news-web-blog-weekly-round-up-ebelle5-handbags-purses-2/) - [Bloggers Respond to Bald Brit Madness ...](https://allwomenstalk.com/bloggers-respond-to-bald-brit-madness/) - [Blogging Etiquette - an Apology ...](https://allwomenstalk.com/blogging-etiquette-an-apology/) - [Blog Log Finds - Monday Speedy Links](https://allwomenstalk.com/blog-log-finds-monday-speedy-links/) - [News Web Blog Weekly round up](https://allwomenstalk.com/news-web-blog-weekly-round-up-ebelle5-handbags-purses-3/) - [When Blog Comments Attack!](https://allwomenstalk.com/when-blog-comments-attack/) - [Friday Fashion Blog Favs ...](https://allwomenstalk.com/friday-fashion-blog-favs-the-it-lists-fashion-finds-4/) - [News Web Blog round up!](https://allwomenstalk.com/news-web-blog-round-up-ebelle5-handbags-purses-3/) - [Fun New Blog: off the Rack](https://allwomenstalk.com/fun-new-blog-off-the-rack/) - [REVIEW: Tom Ford's Amber Nude](https://allwomenstalk.com/review-tom-fords-amber-nude-2/) ## Site Information - [Main page](https://allwomenstalk.com) - [Contact us](https://allwomenstalk.com/contact.html) - [HTML article](https://allwomenstalk.com/meet-the-bloggers-amber-mcnaught/)
