MY BOYFRIEND CAN’T SEE THIS: Why Social Media Will Kill My Relationship (part 1)

Little Miss Wilde — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 16:27:42 +0000

LEGAL STALKING A few weeks ago, the ladies at Pamflet asked me to speak at the London launch of Emma Koenig’s FUCK! I’M IN MY TWENTIES. It’s amazing, buy it. Anyway, I used this as an opportunity to find out what the audience thought of my online behaviour towards my boyfriend. They thought I was …

THIS USER DOES NOT EXIST: Confessions of a Twitter Addict who Deactivated Twitter

Little Miss Wilde — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:39:48 +0000

Hi. My name’s @littlemisswilde and I’m completely addicted to social media.* Social media addiction is starting to become recognized as a legitimate thing, and I’ll happily start attending group recovery when that becomes commonplace. But most people wouldn’t even realise that they have a problem. Being completely obsessed with my own behaviour, I did. So …

A little bit about Youth Unemployment

Little Miss Wilde — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 16:45:28 +0000

So filming has started for the new series of Channel 4′s Battlefront and this time round there’s only one campaign – the fight against youth unemployment. I wrote a blog post to introduce what it’s all about. It’s a pretty non-contentious issue at this stage (essentially we have no future) but have a read anyway. …

Social Media and the London Olympics

Little Miss Wilde — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 12:30:01 +0000

This isn’t an analysis of the relationship between The Internet and The Games, just an opportunity to share some comedy gold I’ve stumbled across that links London 2012 and various social networks. You know, in case people want to take time out from slapping down Boris and observing how crowded the city is on Facebook …

Why LOL Shouldn’t have had a straight-to-DVD release

Little Miss Wilde — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 15:22:16 +0000

NB: This post isn’t actually about the Miley Cyrus film, it’s actually about films in general and how they forget about the Internet. Until now. Sort of. Okay so it wasn’t exactly straight-to-DVD, but the Lionsgate website said it was only showing in ‘select theatres’ which translated to about 8 cinemas showing it last week, …

Life Offline

Little Miss Wilde — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 19:15:17 +0000

Just a quick note, on the off chance that anyone is looking for me in cyberspace: I’ve deactivated my social media profiles so that I can get some work done. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Draw Something were proving too distracting, but I’ll be back soon to update you excessively on what I’m doing, or more …

Why I’m deleting half of my Facebook friends before 2012

Little Miss Wilde — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 03:51:58 +0000

“Facebook is a social utility that allows you to procrastinate by scrolling through a constantly updating stream of photos of pasta, cryptic updates and endless event invites from people you met once three years ago and haven’t spoken to since.” I have 816 friends on Facebook. 816 friends? Real friends, defined in the OED as: …

Oh! Sweet Nothing

Little Miss Wilde — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 15:17:55 +0000

So here I am again, having casually not posted anything for quite a while. This time I haven’t come with promises that I will soon privilege you with my inner dwellings in longer than 140 character bursts. I’ve come to terms with the fact that anyone who actually looks at this site follows me on …

Thoughts on the MTV VMA coverage (and a little bit about the future of TV)

Little Miss Wilde — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 16:37:25 +0000

This is my response to the coverage of the MTV VMAs 2011, and the news that Beyonce & Jay Z are expecting their first child. On the year that MTV’s Video Music Awards celebrated record viewing figures, Twitter’s PR account announced that they’d received a record number of tweets after Beyonce’s mid-VMA confirmation that she is, …

Twitter & Glitter

Little Miss Wilde — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 13:40:28 +0000

Hello! Long time no blog, shocker. This blog is heading in a new direction now, in the way that it’s going to be about something I actually care about: Social Networking. I’ve decided to call it Twitter & Glitter because they are the only constants in my life. Aside from spending hours deliberating this I have …

The Real Social Network – A Personal Appeal

Little Miss Wilde — Mon, 30 May 2011 11:50:48 +0000

Hello all, Just a quick post here to say that we have only hours left to raise money for the production fund for the film about UCL Occupation and the student movement. If you haven’t seen any sneak peeks yet then I recommend this trailer, because we are all so hilarious. I know I’ve spammed …

Worst Blogger Ever

Little Miss Wilde — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 16:10:56 +0000

I know I keep promising glorious posts which I also know you are all sleeplessly waiting for, but the situation happens to be that since the last occupation at UCL of the registry, and the arbitrary victimisation of the UCL 13 (of which I am one, oh the joys of over-sharing on Twitter) I’ve just …

UCL Reoccupied – First Vlog

Little Miss Wilde — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 01:19:15 +0000

A lot of people have requested a video blog with updates from this round of the UCL Occupation. It’s short and sweet and to the point but we only occupied a few hours ago. Let me know if you have any comments or advice and I hope this makes you feel a little closer to …

Things I’m doing/have done

Little Miss Wilde — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:32:21 +0000

Hello lovely people! Right this whole blog thing can be quite fun so I’m going to get into it. Here’s a little update on what to expect from me soon. Events I’m involved in I’m speaking at this event after the March 26th march. There are still a few standing tickets left if you’d like …

Netroots UK – The Aftermath

Little Miss Wilde — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:10:57 +0000

In true Little Miss Wilde style I’ve added all of the Netroots UK coverage that I like that includes me in some way to my ‘Media’ page so go and have a look at the blog posts as well as the news stories. If you do only look at one thing, I recommend that it’s this …

Netroots UK – My first speech!

Little Miss Wilde — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 01:35:47 +0000

Today I spoke at Netroots UK at the Congress Centre in Bloomsbury. The most basic description of the day is that it involved lots of left-wing people discussing the internet as a political tool. You can read more about it on their website. The workshop I spoke in was called ‘Turning online activity into offline …

New Website

Little Miss Wilde — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 23:05:35 +0000

Hello! This site will be used to try and keep the rest of my life that’s currently spread all over the internet, including my work in fashion, social networking and activism. I hope that some of it appeals to you! Little Miss Wilde Filed under: Uncategorized
