About Me
Heya! I'm Gayle, and if you've ever felt you don't fit into society's idea of the "norm", then I am here to tell society to do one! Because you are my kind of norm and stuff what anyone else thinks!
I grew up a small town, not truly connecting with people around me, and definitely not being my true self. Does this sound familiar? Schoolmates wore cool shell suits and I had a Guns n Roses waistcoat (ok, maybe not that part lol). After the DIY / bowl cut years, my dad advanced me to the barbers for a haircut lol. Yep, I was a tomboy in the 80s! And I was brought up with 2 big brothers and their hand-me-downs. After what I've just written, it might be a good thing there is only one of me! lol.
I've always walked to my own beat though, and in my adulthood that meant being brave and going off to do what I enjoy on my own. I started going out in Dundee and later Glasgow. Once I found my tribe it felt like coming home and there was no looking back!
Doesn't everything just feel better when surrounded by your kind of people?
I spent my 20s in Rock, Metal and Goth clubs.
I spent my 30s in Gay Pubs and Clubs.
Now in my 40s I've finally got free weekends because who can afford to go out anymore?
Haha!
So I have plenty time for photography!
People doing what they love and being their true self.
I'm drawn to people who have a passion for a hobby or interest.
"I love going away on my motorbike camping,
but my tent and my motorbike don't always agree..."
As you can probably tell, I enjoy my food! I'd totally marry a red pepper and have an affair with puff pastry.
Nothing gets me on the dancefloor faster than the dance remix of Dolly Parton - 9 to 5!
I'm a biker and the love of my life is my Suzuki sv650s, but shhh, don't tell it I actually wanted a Ducati.
My favourite movie is The Lost Boys, and if I ever get a dog it'll totally get called Nanook.
My favourite game ever is Knights of the Old Republic... and I'll challenge anyone to a lightsabre battle who disagrees!
I can't stand still when I hear a good rhythm! It just gets ya! You know? I don't know how anyone else can stand still either! lol.
I asked someone "what's the first thing you notice about me" and they said I have a laugh that kinda bops you in the face when you first hear it. I have no idea what they're talking about...
I'm a PC gamer and spent 12 years playing Diablo 2 and WoW... And I don't regret a thing!
