Believed by some to be a celtic High Priestess by birth and by others to be a vampiric siren, the decadent creative force of nature that is Olivia Barnard-Firth resides deep in the Hertfordshire countryside in a post-plague witch's cottage surrounded by her flock of mythical creatures. When they can spare her she will be seen in all the right places; from the Moulin Rouge to the salons of Count Alexander Von Berghasy; dripping with jewels of almost unimaginable size, or sipping strange scarlet liquid from gilded teacups at the Ritz but always, you can be sure, elevating the act of being inappropriately dressed to the highest of artforms. A creature of many talents, Olivia is also known for her burlesque performances and her notorious work with the U. K. Vampire scene's (if not the world's) most decadently dressed band, The Beautiful Deadly Children. |
Olivia is passionate about racehorses and was at one time a breeder, leading her own Lace Parasol to glory. Her beloved and beautiful arab horse, Yasha passed away recently and will never be forgotten. Olivia loves nothing more than to disappear into the countryside sidesaddle and can judge a man at 100 paces by his posture on horseback.

Always my extra legs to dance with,
Yet we never needed wings to fly.
I was never aware that I applied aids to ride you, only with my mind,
We always seemed to be one being.
I was never disappointed, with you I was never bored.
You were such perfection, I never believed you'd die.
You will be such a hard act to follow,
and with perfect timing even at the end.
