Fleur Parker is the singer for underground all-girl band Foamy Ed. The punk rockers started up nine years ago when they were still at high school.
Who are your favourite fashion designers?
I definitely support smaller labels and designers that specialise in one-offs and original styles, such as Amy Elizabeth. I'm also a big fan of cutting up clothes and throwing an outfit together that way.
What do you wear on stage?
Anything slightly different and comfortable that allows me to jump and roll around, as it gets pretty sweaty on stage under the lights with my girls - nothing like a little smudged eyeliner and a couple of bruises from a guitar in your back after a wicked show.
What is your favourite accessory of the moment?
Definitely my roller-skate derby bomber jacket from LA. It reminds me of my parents' business, Skateland. Bring back the roller-skates I say.
What do you wear when you're relaxing at home?
My cute little Blondie PJs and some incredibly ugly but comfy old man's slippers.
What is the last item of clothing you bought?
The cutest little black sacred heart rock'n'roll high heels. I'm usually a Chuck Taylor kind of girl but who could resist these beauties?
Any fashion disasters you'd care to mention?
I try to forget the days when Foamy Ed wore our costumes. Red PVC at the 1999 Big Day Out ... hmmm what can I say?
Who does the best handbags?
Don't really use handbags. They're too easy to lose on a big night out.
What was the last CD you bought?
Queens of the Stone Age's Rated R. It's an older album but a must-have.
What was the last book you read?
Stalingrad by Antony Beevor. Very informative and shocking and very intense.
Who cuts your hair?
One of my best mates - the infamous Lani Purkis, also of Foamy Ed. I always leave my locks in her hands and hope for the best. Her Toni & Guy skills always generate something subtly unique.
What is your beauty routine?
I'm actually pretty useless. I drink loads of water and saturate myself in moisturiser. I try to get my makeup off every night but sometimes that bed is just too tempting - pretty slack I know.
What item of makeup would you be lost without?
I'd have to say mascara. A chick is nothing without her eyelashes to bat.
Favourite hotels?
At the moment it is the Maison Dupuy in New Orleans. So full of culture and it has the best pillows to date.
What can't you live without?
My girls. They keep me smiling and sane and insane. They are my world.
What's your idea of relaxation?
Sleeping in after a massive night out, watching bad DVDs and not feeling guilty for wasting a day.
What's your biggest indulgence?
A constant supply of sweet, cold watermelon.
What inspires you?
Life. Pretty cliched but this year has taught me a lot. You can always get inspiration from experience.
