Muriel performs Sex & the Picnic forecast at Deadly is the Female

Frome’s most glamorous poet Muriel Lavender popped open a bottle of champagne for an evening with Frome.tv’s presenter and senior stylist Claudia Kapp from Deadly is the female.  In this intimate feature Muriel delves into what it is to be a woman, explains burlesque poetry and reveals who she had a crush on in the 80′s whilst getting a tattoo for him at Black inc in Frome.

“When I was born, my dear Mamma and Papa were, it seems, quite unable at first to
give me a name. Weeks dragged by, in which I was known as – what? – as ‘Baby’, I
should imagine; or ‘She’, as in ‘Darling, I think She’s hungry’, or ‘Shh! She’s asleep’.
After a time, with me still a nameless babe, a good friend of my Mamma’s
announced quite firmly that ‘if you don’t name that child at once, I shall call her
MURIEL LAVENDER!’ That good lady did not get her wish; I was borne along to
the Registrar and a name of unexceptionable character was bestowed upon me.
Muriel was no more. Years passed. Muriel remained quietly and obediently
somewhere on the edge of consciousness. Until one Christmas… …when she
SUDDENLY CAME BACK.” Muriel Lavender
