Pop culture heroines Strong female characters in popular culture. A relatively new blog but shaping up to be very interesting. I do like putting this kind of stuff under the microscope.

Who am I?
My name's Dan and I live near Huddersfield in the North of England. I’m a 32 years old part time stay at home dad. For three days a week I'm also a community mental health nurse but you won’t find me blogging about that here. I’m married to Kerry and we have two children - Amy (5) and Evan (2). If you want to know how other's describe me then take a look here. If you haven't been here before feel free to say hello in the comments.

Congratulations to La Bête, the irritatingly wonderful blogger from Bête de Jour who has just landed himself a book deal. The bastard. My guess that it'll be either Xbox or Whit next. Or maybe Rol. Anyone but me anyway.
- #Joe Cornish's Quantum of Solace theme tune is fantastic. In fact so is his comedy partner Adam Buxton's version. Actually everything that these two put out is more or less genius. If you're not listening to their Radio Six Music show and podcast already then you bloody well should be.
- #Julia Nunes - Accidentally in love. There appears to be a bit of a fad on YouTube for doing cover versions on the ukulele. And jolly good they are too. Julia Nunes is the best of the bunch and even caught the eye of Ben Folds who got her to open for him at a number of US gigs.
- #Way to Normal. The new Ben Folds album is out, and at first listen it's bloody good too.

Mmm interesting, I shall add that to my favourites but my favourite pop culture heroines are - in no particular order:
Bet Lynch
Lily Munster
Sandy Cheeks - from Spongebob
Velma/Thelma from Scooby Doo - never did get a definitive answer as to how her name is spelt
Morticia Addams
Detective Eames - Law and Order Criminal Intent
All of the women from CSI but especially Calleih Duquane
Dame Edna Everage
and in terms of real life (though in some cases dead) women:
Victoria Wood
Edith Piaf
Edith Wharton
