SINGLE & PSYCHO: HOW POP CULTURE CREATED THE UNSTABLE SINGLE WOMAN, by Caroline Young is out now! This dynamic book is a valuable addition to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the #MeToo movement and societal expectations of women. bit.ly/4ic7H1i
This cover of Carrie in season 2 of SATC sums up how single women in their thirties are really viewed... Single and Fabulous, but always with a question mark!
I discuss this and more in my upcoming book #singleandpsycho

If you could you back in time and watch a movie on its original release in the cinema, what would you choose? For me, Psycho - the thrill of the audience reaction must have been so much fun 🎬

It's the #BraemarGathering today, so here's a flashback to 1989, when the fashion icon of the Highlands, Frances Farquharson, greeted Princess Diana❤️

"Hollywood is cruel to women," says Michelle Yeoh in an interview with Demi Moore. "It’s either, you are the mother or you’re old enough not to be sexy in their eyes. Why can’t a 45-year-old, a 50-year-old, or 60-year-old, be sexy?"
Exactly the theme of my book Crazy Old Ladies
Every time I listen to Taylor Swift's The Last Great American Dynasty, I immediately think of Frances Farquharson.
As a fashionable American eccentric who shook up the Scottish Highlands, she was "The maddest woman this town has ever seen" 🎤
Childless cat lady has long been code for lesbians - in 1942's Cat People Simone Simon turns into a ferocious panther whenever her husband tries to have sex with her. She also finds kinship with a fellow cat lady who is part of a secret club.

I once knew a woman who was meek, deadend job, unlucky in love. Then she adopted like ten cats after her boss pushed her out a window and it honestly solved all her problems. She even bagged the richest man in Gotham City. So I'm just saying it seems like MORE CATS is the move.
I didn’t realise I would be so timely in my defense of childless cat ladies, but I have a new book out next year – Single and Psycho: How Pop Culture Created the Unstable Single Woman, published by @KentuckyPress (1/2)
Fantastic to have this feature in @TheScotsman on the New Writers Awards @scottishbktrust. It's a vital support for writers in Scotland, particularly given the pressure on the arts ✍️
Only a week left to apply for next year: scottishbooktrust.com/writin…
With Balmoral Castle tours about to launch, here's a glimpse inside the home of their neighbour at Invercauld castle - the fabulous former American fashion editor Frances Farquharson, and her husband, the laird, in the 1950s
