The Adventures of Bad Katie are a little pet side project I’ve been working on over the past few years. If ever you are fortunate enough to meet the singer Katie Melua (Nine Million Bicycles) you will find her warm, engaging and very down to earth, just a delightful human being and very un-celebrity-like. I’d go as far as to say she is the most cat-sneezingly lovely celeb you could ever hope to encounter. It is precisely because she is so lovely that I got to thinking about the concept of parallel universes and I wondered what it would be like in a universe where Katie looked the same but had the polar opposite personality. Thus, Bad Katie was born. A collection of episodes concerning the antics of a version of Katie you really shouldn’t like but you just can’t help warming to (caveat: if you know little or nothing about Katie Melua then I don’t expect you’ll see Bad Katie with quite the same eye as one of her fans but I would hope you would find her amusing enough in her own right — she’s rather like an adult Minnie the Minx, though I imagine even less of you have heard of her than Katie Melua).
All of Bad Katie’s Adventures have appeared on my web site AllAboutKatie over recent years but you don’t need to trawl through the many blog posts there to find them — they are now all gathered together in one place right here: The Adventures of Bad Katie
Katie herself described these adventures as “bloody brilliant”. I hope you’ll give them a go, you might just have a giggle or two and perhaps be able to relate to a naughty young woman you know in your life.
