Your hangover cure?
Not going out the night before, but on the occasions when I do, I tend to spend the next day having a "carpet picnic" on the carpet in my studio. I bring all the blankets and pillows from the house and set up camp in there to watch movies all day on my computer screen.

Your current location: Edinburgh
Where/how will you be spending NYE (bar, club, friends house, etc)?
People are drinking the required champagne at mine, then into town to watch the fireworks, possibly stopping off for a drink on the way, then on to a party at our favourite pretentious bar. Perhaps some tacky dancing at the Mexican club come seedy den next door when we're royally slaughtered in the am. Then winding down with a first-of-the-year sunrise cigarette before all passing out in someone's house.
What is the one song that really gets you ready to go out?
Ghetto Music by Outkast, because like any self respecting white girl I love me some retro hiphop
What are your going out essentials?
Disposable (I am too self-aware hip (read: poor) for a digital..). Glitter because I have become obsessed with it lately and it’s nice to find it sprinkled about the morning after. ID. Mascara/Eyeliner. Brush. Phone. Tobacco etc. And chapstick of course.
What is the one song that always gets you on the dancefloor?
Lisztomania- Phoenix
What would you spin if you were the dj?
A nice remix of I need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc or something of the sort (I'm assuming that as I'm the dj I actually have the skills to do this..) because I reckon everyone could love that.
What drink will you be holding throughout the night?
Vodka soda and lime…for some reason we convinced ourselves it's the healthy hangover-immune beverage to drink. Maybe some whiskey in a hip flask for warmth during fire-work watching. In fact whiskey and ginger ale to wind the evening down is perfect.
Who do you wish you could kiss at midnight (celebrity or non)?
As I am firmly committed to my spinsterdom there are no non-celebrities on my radar. I have to say, much like most of the female populous, James Franco is seeming more appealing than ever (we can forgive him the failed foray into literature...)
What to do after the party?
Bail back to someone's flat for quiet drinking and smoking until we submit to sleep.
Your hangover cure?
Drinking water like a fish, Sainsbury’s basics prawn mayo sandwich and copious amounts of black coffee.

What to do after the party?
Rather depends, if I drove there myself (which I prefer), I usually bounce early, go home, watch movies and pass out before the opening credits are finished (thug life!). If it is the other way around, I suppose it is where ever I am taken to next. Usually it’s a party, somewhere to eat food then home.
Your hangover cure?
some advil, XXX Vitamin Water (it can only be that flavor. I have tired others and it’s doesn’t work) and I am good to go. I also stay hydrated throughout the day…
