This month's SB is Caduceus, our very own astrologer and Stoke's rock queen. However, she is currently living in Florida with her fella running a business called view by video. In her own words:

Basically I've done sleeping beauties because I'm 30. I've always wanted to do it and never got round to it. Most people talk about things to do before you are 30, so I figured I'd be different and create a list of things to do now I am 30! So, there you go - my first photoshoot. I also want to show everyone that you don't have to have a professional shoot with all the trimmings and lashings of make up to look pretty. You don't even have to be young. Just do it!

(SWM) Hello! Fancy seeing you here. How are things in the land of Caduceus?

(C) The land of Caduceus is a bit weird at the moment as I have lived in Florida since may and I'm not used to running a business. I'm learning lots of new things and having to adapt to American life. It's laid back and sunny and everywhere is far away from everywhere else!

It's good though as I have a career that is more promising than my Pharmacy career and is not a 9-5 job. I wasn't born for a 9 - 5 job and I don't like rules. It's good working for yourself because you make your own rules and it gives you more ambition. You make as much or as little money as you like, it depends on how hard you work. We film rental homes there which enables the owners to advertise their homes with the very best video walkthrough, if you like.

(SWM) You are already famous in our ranks as the mistress of the horoscope. Have you been into astrology for a long time?

(C) I've been into Astrology since I was about 20 ish. I've always had an interest in how they affect peoples personalities. It wasn't til I was about 24 that I actually started learning about it and writing stuff. I can calculate astrology charts based on the individuals birth details. It helps me learn more about me and I like to help other people learn about themselves. It's kind of unconventional counselling! I just love it really.

(SWM) You have helped out many a time with Devil’s Night. Is dressing up a fun thing for you?

(C) For me Devils Night is a bit of both, work and fun. I love to dress up and go out and have fun, but also I do it for Wolf and Asha. I've been in the rock scene so long and a lot of people know who I am so I do it to encourage others to dress up and to promote the night. I try to match my outfits as best i can on the flyers if I can, although you can't always pull it off. Space Odyssey was my fave, when I dressed up as princess Leia!

(SWM) You currently live across the pond in sunny Florida. Is it painful coming back to visit us boring Brits?

(C) Coming to visit is really great as I can see all my friends and family and I love it. You are not boring by any means, I always have lots of fun. However, I have to say that I wouldn't live here again if I didn't have to. It's not just Stoke, it's England. It's in such a mess right now that all you do is get up, go to work, get home, go to sleep etc....... You earn your money and it goes on bills then you have nothing left till next month. There's no opportunity any more. I think Florida is definitely for me.

(SWM) So you’ve been in the Stoke rock scene since Jesus was still walking around- bet you’ve seen a lot of changes?

(C) Surprisingly  - no. The venues have changed sure, there was Chico's (RIP) , Fusion, Maxims (that's going back a bit ) and now Jacks and Bitten. The people have changed and you see new kids coming on to the scene, but they don't change. The nightclub politics are the same, the drunks are the same, the idiots are the same. Sometimes even the music is the same! Even the fact that at 30 I can still drink more in one night than most people can drink in a week! I'm still slim, pointy, pale and hard as nails and I still have an attitude!

See you all on my next visit!
