A song that reminds me of my ex is…

I’m not sure that I’ll ever forgive my ex for ruining Pink Floyd. PSA: I am no longer listening to any funky music that a white boy plays in my presence, because I am now crippled by stress and anxiety every time ‘our song’ comes on. Spotify and their personalised ‘Repeat Rewind’ playlists have been unintentionally screwing […]

My Valentine’s win/fail was…

The good, the bad, and the ugly: Valentine’s edition. I’m going to politely leave this here, because I know that there has to be at least one person out there that needs to shake off their Valentine’s blues by dancing around in their underwear and belting out this chorus to themselves in the mirror. This […]

My childhood crush was…

Just here to let Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson know that I’m still available xo This week’s Spotify pick was chosen because a) it’s an absolute bop, and b) I spent the majority of 2009-2015 strutting around my bedroom with it blasting through my headphones, lip-syncing in an emotionally-charged performance for every one of my high […]

The worst date I’ve ever been on was…

An ode to wanting nothing more than a drink and a nice conversation. In the words of SAYGRACE: if you want me, act like it. I count myself as one of the lucky few twenty-somethings that hasn’t been on an awful date. Yes, there have been a couple where my nerves got the better of me […]

My type is…

Looking at the difference between what we want, and what we get. It turns out that The Rolling Stones were right when they said that we can’t always get what we want… It’s no secret that, after a break-up, we spend most of our time sending screenshots of photos from our ex’s social media into […]

I get the ick when…

That’s an immediate dump, my friend! What is it about men? Apparently, it’s just about everything. I won’t take credit for the hilarious idea of finding out what my Instagram followers’ ‘icks’ are. After giggling about the different people that we have cried over, which was a few Q&As ago, my friend Hayley suggested that I ask […]

I cried over someone who…

Reflecting on the exes that didn’t deserve our tears. Repeat after TLC and I: I don’t want no scrubs. (Except, apparently we do, or at least we did.) First of all, I want to say thank you for putting your blind trust in me when you subscribed to Dishing The Dirt. As someone who has been […]

Obsessive Perfectionism at Christmas

Published 24th December 2020 by The Insecure Girl’s Club. My family have always (both silently and rather vocally) shunned me for my insane love of Christmas. The look of confusion in their eyes as I gleefully wrestle with my Dad’s suit jackets to collect everyone’s presents from the back of his wardrobe, squealing “Don’t worry! […]
