About me: Who I'd like to meet:

i. frank back to black comment gallery [2012 _AU] --credit-- "I'm quite an insecure person. I'm a musician, not a model. The more insecure I feel, the bigger my hair is. Amy Winehouse ✡ The Girl From London. Ronnie Spector meets The Bride of Frankenstein. 2007 AU

(OOC)//I don't do connections, or limit my character to one love interest. I am multi-ship. Meaning every story is separate. I'm part of this dying breed of roleplayers. So if you're single-ship, there's the door. Here, I am seeking a male character willing (unwillingly for more tension) to undergo a turbulent, long-term relationship. Amy may be a royal pain, but she promises not to be boring. If swayed correctly, she can be loyal and assertive. She wields the ability to soften most hearts. Unable to deliberately hurt anyone, the few times she did, Amy was as drunk as a skunk. I can be swayed toward a plot involving Amy in a short-term romance with another female character. The twist could be a male character of your choice coming into the story to fall in love with Amy. Putting her promiscuous lifestyle to rest has proven to be a real challenge so far for her. But Amy has found very few men she has dated are willing to love her for her, not her high social status. That goes for friendships, those who hang around her for what she has, and nothing more. What she wants more than anything in the world is to be a mother. But she has a lot of work on her plate to finish. First and foremost, her dependency on alcohol. Amy drinks to get through her day-to-day life, seldom is she seen sober. For several years now she has been engaged in a seesaw battle with anorexia and bulimia. Eating disorders and alcoholism are slowly killing her. But when you're depressed enough, your self-awareness plummets. Over the years, Amy had experienced several attempts at rehabilitation, but they all led to relapse after relapse. She had already achieved victory over her addiction to crack and heroin three years prior. The right motivation and a roadmap to improve her life are the key. Independence is one major thing she needs to find some happiness. That is if she no longer needs to be babysat by friends or her bodyguards because she cannot look after herself. Recklessness almost cost her life numerous times previously. Once being married to a trainwreck had no positive influence. I'm not opposed to the idea of Amy potentially exploring other genres of music. Gravitating her toward rock has been on my mind. Vocals aside, she is quite skilled on the guitar. She is a fast learner who loves picking up new skills. I don't want to make a bunch of rules. Just don't be a d.ick. I do not intend to sound like one, but I get sick and tired of repeating myself. I only write in the third person and past tense. I'd very much prefer you did, too. First-person is a dealbreaker for me. It's creepy. If you cannot at least write more than two engaging paragraphs, I don't think we will be a fit. I do believe in quality over quantity, but there isn't much you can put in liners to keep me invested. No in-character chat in DMs. I'd like plot and write there. If you're an engaging novella writer, that's a big plus for me. However, if you cannot at least try to mirror my effort, then f*** off. Don't waste my time. Also, I'm fine with friends I don't write with!

backstory "...depressed teenager with terrible acne who would cry herself to sleep."

1983 - 1990 Entering the world kicking and screaming as if she were tone deaf, Amy was a seven-pounder born four days late. Her brother Alex, three years her senior, had desired a brother. He would fight her for the limelight often. Despite the result, he still loved and protected his little sister. Her mother, Janis Winehouse, was a pharmacist, and her father, Mitch, was a cab driver. The Winehouse family has a long history of financial success in past generations, so they were never short on anything. But the tension would originate elsewhere. Since the day she learned to walk, Amy was always getting herself into trouble, hence was dubbed "Hurricane Amy" for how she would bolt from room to room, unable to relax until she tired herself out. She was notorious for frequently injuring herself due to her rowdiness, running away from home, and desiring to be the center of attention no matter her mood. Generally, she was a happy kid when she got her way. And that was often. Vanishing without a trace, sustaining severe injuries (such as breaking both of her hands from falling), and showcasing an uptight attitude were the result of Mitch’s absence from his children’s lives. He was never there for the important things, allowing Alex and Amy to be wild to their heart’s content. Amy's interest in music began at a very young age when she listened to jazz, blues, and rock records with her father, namely Tony Bennett, Carole King, and James Taylor. She knew then that singing was her calling and started as a toddler. Mostly self-taught, she would shake the world with her beautiful, smoky vocals. Still, to this day, her father topped the list of credited people for the growth of her talent. As her speech was advancing, Amy was more obnoxious to get in the center of attention. “Shut up, Amy!” was the most common phrase in the family. During the first few school years, Amy felt like the odd one out. She was never mean-spirited, but she bullied and judged the other kids so they would notice her. Over time, her number of friends outnumbered everyone else. Amy had been able to solve complex math equations since before she started primary school. Very intelligent, Amy was bumped up a year but quickly grew bored because it was too easy. In her mid-teens, her interest in the guitar began when one night she decided to sneak into her brother’s room and play Alex’s ax when he wasn’t home. Saving up on allowance, she bought her first acoustic. 1990 - 2001 The turbulence in The Winehouse family started rather early when Mitch had an adulterous affair with a secretary at his job when Amy was about a year old. Her parents divorced when she was ten, delivering a heavy blow to her premature psyche. She thought of taking her own life by consuming an abundance of sleeping pills. Amy has told nobody about this except Tyler. Exploring other options to numb her pain, she started chain-smoking Marlboro Reds, drinking booze, and smoking cannabis at the age of twelve to cope. Mitch had no idea how much the distance he created from his kids affected them. Suspended several times from school due to disruptive behavior, Amy was still the popular girl with a handful of friends; notably Juliette Ashby and Lauren Gilbert. Last but not least: Tyler James, whom she was acquainted with in her jazz class at age thirteen during her first year at Sylvia Young Theatre School. Tyler thought he was listening to a 40-year-old jazz singer who chain-smoked (which happened to be true, she had already been doing so for a year). Amy fell in love with the touch of Stevie Wonder in Tyler’s voice. Her quick comeback was “Your voice is absolutely mental.” He would become her roommate for several years after she quit theater school at seventeen. Her teachers knew she was brilliant, but because of her lack of effort in academics, teacher comments were often “could be better”, or “waste of potential”, “a pity!”, “a sharp, but disruptive girl”. Her interests were now solely poetry and music. Amy would always be singing and grabbing the concentration of others, the big elephant in the room that wouldn’t keep quiet, whether she was running her mouth or letting her bold pipes go. That included during her times in detention. For a short time in the preteen years, she gained interest in hip-hop groups such as Salt-N-Pepa and TLC, forming a brief band with her friend Juliette dubbed Sweet N’ Sour. Amy, of course, was "Sour". They had only performed one show and never recorded anything. One notable song they had penned was “Boys? Who Needs Them?” Silently, she began to suffer from bulimia in her early pubescent years, and anorexia would follow her into adulthood. This left her parents shocked, they knew how much Amy loved to eat. Her parents did not think much of it, her mother thought it would pass, so no action was taken. Like many young women, Amy had a troubled body image. In desperate need of an escape from her troubles, watching her brother play his electric guitar inspired her greatly. When he wasn’t home, Amy would snatch his Stratocaster and practice on it for hours. The accelerated learner she was, Amy picked up on it in a few months studying guitar tabs and sheet music. It was then she discovered another means of self-therapy. Play guitar for an hour and feel ten times better. In time, she saved enough money and bought herself an acoustic. The only person she felt she could be herself around was her paternal grandmother, Cynthia. Amy needed someone to tell her “no” and tell her things as they were. Janis unfortunately did not fit that role appropriately in her daughter’s life. Amy’s unruly behavior at times became too much for her mother to bear, so she just tolerated it. However, Cynthia’s totalitarian way of authority instilled some kind of discipline in Amy. But they didn’t live under the same roof. Sadly, Mitchell’s absence led to the dawn of Amy’s promiscuous lifestyle at the age of fourteen. Due to her father’s infidelity, Amy’s view of the opposite sex became very slanted. By the time she was sixteen, she had several flings but no serious relationship up until she met a black boy named Crispin Waller, a fellow classmate in her later years of secondary school. He was the first she fell in love with and would be far from the last. Another factor to the early dawn of Amy’s sex life was a dark secret she kept to herself; at the age of sixteen, she was brutally raped by a date while under heavy influence of alcohol. She may not remember well because she was very intoxicated, but the mental toll it took on her left a deep scar. Her increasing body count was from a hope that she would forget the trauma. But she would learn the hard way that it wasn't the proper solution. Spending a year as the singer of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, Amy departed once she was through school and sought other opportunities to make a living with her natural talent. 2001 - 2007 After playing guitar and singing in a few bands in her mid-teens, Amy gained a temporary job as a journalist for the World Entertainment News Network through the father of her best friend, Juliette Ashby. Figuring school was the least of concerns, she took an early leave from Sylvia Young’s and sought job opportunities to begin her adult life. Bored with the traditional authority of her stepfather Tony, and seeing less of her brother who entered university, more and more of Amy’s spare time was spent writing music and spending time with Tyler. Amy settled on fronting her own and formed “The Amy Winehouse Band” with old friends and former bandmates she recruited a seven-piece group to make up the act. Troy Miller, a friend from a previous band Amy played for, volunteered to fill the role of percussion. Following a year of small shows around London, Amy was promoted by Simon Fuller through Tyler and signed a record deal the following year when she reached eighteen. Together with manager Nick Shymansky, the search began for a record producer. An admirer of his work, Amy settled on hip-hop producer Salaam Remi, who instantly agreed to work with her upon hearing her demo tape. No music was churned within a year, Amy spent her quarter of a million pounds (UK currency) on new clothes, and her first property in Camden in the apartment complex known as Jeffrey’s Place. The geek she was, thousands were spent on WWF and comic book memorabilia and also her hobby of collecting posters of pinup girls that decorated the walls of her flat, a fascination she picked up from Cynthia. The record label had threatened to drop her a year after the contract was signed, so Amy had to come up with a record quickly. For years she had a strong dislike for contemporary pop, and this motivated her to write music of her own. Since the age of seventeen Amy was dating a man seven years her senior, Chris Taylor. It was unlike what she had with Crispin, falling heels over in love with him. But that passion faded in a couple of years when she realized he wasn’t for her. Chris lacked the masculine qualities that attracted Amy. Her relationship with him would inspire songs such as “Stronger Than Me”, “Take The Box”, and “In My Bed”. For years, she would not have another serious relationship. Amy developed an attraction to the handsome manager at her job as a cashier at a coffee shop, but the thirty year old did not feel comfortable with a seventeen year old girl ogling him. He rejected her, and this led to the composition of “Amy Amy Amy”, and “You Sent Me Flying”. Progress began on her debut album, Frank, titled after her biggest jazz hero, Frank Sinatra. Recorded in New York City with Salaam, the record pretty much made itself. In a matter of a few weeks, the lyrics were all set. Frank was released to the UK in a mere few months in 2003, raising Amy to widespread fame in the United Kingdom. She raked in BRIT, Ivor Novello, and Mercury Awards for Frank. Overwhelmed by her success, Amy believed she didn’t do much to deserve them so she gave them to her mother. How could she possibly have been ready for stardom at a young age? She dreamed of this possibility as a child but nobody could truly be prepared for it. Was this what she really wanted? Her life was changing so fast, and the stage of adulthood barely started. At first, she made friends with the photographers who hung outside of her loft. In time, she grew frightened of them, dubbing them "vultures". A year following Frank, Amy’s lifestyle began to change. She wasn’t that lively immaculate girl for much longer and hung around different crowds; enjoying the fruits of her labor through partying and other activities. She became distant from friends, leaving herself alone with Tyler, who was her roommate since day one. The local pubs became Amy’s frequent habitat. Her alcohol consumption continued to climb; she was exhausted creatively and it distressed her. She needed inspiration, and heartbreak was what motivated her to write Frank. Island Records was steps away from throwing her to the curb if she did not begin work on another album soon. Two years after her first album was released; Amy had no concrete material for a new record. Her daytime drinking led to her meeting a man who would change her life forever. She fell hard for Blake Fielder-Civil, meeting him at her favorite pub in Camden, Good Mixer. He started as a fling, but became much more than that, despite Blake already dating another girl since he met Amy. Civil was a heroin addict, a red flag that her social circle continued to point out, but Amy was not the type to judge for such things. Several years later, her decision would leave a scar on her heart. After a year together, Blake dumped Amy for his girlfriend on the side. Not that it mattered, she was sleeping with someone else as well, an A&R scout named George. It was around this time Amy dressed more immaculately, got more tattoos, kept her hair dyed jet black like Cynthia’s, and the cat-eye and winged eyeliner that was to become her iconic look. The breakup with Blake led to Amy increasing her daily alcohol consumption to clear him from her mind. Nick Shymansky demanded she go to rehab, but instead, Amy asked for her father’s opinion and made the decision to not go. This very event in her life would lead to the composition of the song that would launch her career further. Feeling that Nick was too invasive to her problems due to their sentimental relationship and romantic history, Amy fired him and requested that Raye Cosbert, her promoter, also fulfill the manager role. Her next album, Back to Black, was centered around her savagely broken heart and dwindling mental state; the yang to its predecessor. The release of ‘Rehab’ as a single catapulted her to superstardom. The record would launch her into worldwide fame, and there was no escaping it. Seemingly overnight, Amy Winehouse became a household name. Being in denial that she would ever be famous could no longer continue.

Seemingly overnight, Amy Winehouse became a household name. Being in denial that she would ever be famous could no longer continue. Amy’s trademark beehive made its debut when she and her hairdresser tossed around ideas for her look in the music video to the album’s title track. The retro look quickly grew on Amy; it reminded her of the style of Ronnie Specter and became a comfort blanket. Many different styles of her trademark beehive would come and go. Upon the filming of the music video for “You Know That I’m No Good”, Blake appeared on the set to return to Amy’s life now that success had become her middle name. Looking the other way, she could not risk herself falling into his spell again. Back to Black became the number-one album in nineteen countries. She had become the first British artist, notably a female solo artist, to go platinum in record sales for years; becoming the pride of the United Kingdom. Amy failed to see how much she had underestimated herself. All she wanted to do was sing. And she got far more than she bargained for in such a short time.

dearest "I'm happiest around my friends and family."

TYLER JAMES | Best friend/companion Born Kenneth Gordon, Tyler has known Amy since secondary school at Sylvia Young's, he has been a constant companion through Amy's highs and lows. Their long history and complicated relationship made anything past friendship very unlikely. He too is a singer, Stevie Wonder is his biggest inspiration. When he first met Amy, they floored each other taking turns singing "Happy Birthday" for their music teacher's mother. James has been on talent shows and recorded an album in the studio, but the music industry machine crushed his music career. Tyler only has one record, 'The Unlikely Lad', which was not released on CD and can only be heard on iTunes. Born in the East End neighborhood in London, Tyler was not a roughneck like his male peers, he was much more into his academics and music. He is quite intelligent and has a university degree. Sadly like Amy, Tyler suffers from alcoholism. Tyler is quite protective of Amy. Parental figures to each other, their relationship turned co-dependent. James is one of the very few people Amy fully trusts, her family adores him for all he has sacrificed to guard Amy from herself and others. Amy is also close to Tyler's mother, Tina. Tyler is the only person Amy has truly poured her heart out to. CYNTHIA LEVY-WINEHOUSE (Pictured) | Paternal Grandmother Of Jewish-Russian descent. Amy was closer to Cynthia than anyone else. When her own mother couldn't be strong with her, Cynthia was. Where Janis failed as a mother figure, her mother-in-law prevailed. She taught Amy logical viewpoints on life. Her nan was a known fortune-teller and it is believed Amy inherited her foresight. Since Cynthia's passing in 2006, Amy lost a piece of herself. Her nan's death was one of the motives that drove Amy to churn out her second record, Back to Black. MITCH WINEHOUSE | Father Of Jewish-Russian descent. Of all the people in Amy's life, the relationship with her father has affected her the most. His infidelity in his marriage to his wife and Amy's mother, Janis, has had a great effect on both Amy and her older brother, Alex. Mitch was hardly around during the adolescence of his children when he was needed most and has never been truly forgiven. Currently, he manages Amy's finances and career, the type of control that Amy should have herself. Amy would like nothing more than time with her father alone. But he rarely comes alone, he has cameramen with him and photographers, despite that Amy hates the fame she has gained. His greedy personality and the need for control of his daughter's life have damaged their relationship. JANIS WINEHOUSE | Mother Of Eastern-European Jewish descent. Born in Brooklyn, New York, as Janis Seaton, she lived in England for most of her life. Two opposites, Amy has always been a force of nature and her mother is mild-mannered. Unable to deal with Amy's rebellious behavior as a child, little to no discipline was dished out. Janis was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2003 and her health is declining. While they are in contrast to each other, Amy's relationship with her mother is very important to her. She feels that Janis is one of the few she can open up to and not be shunned or judged. ALEX WINEHOUSE | Older Brother Unhappy that his new sibling was a girl, Alex wasn't too happy at first, but Amy grew on him quickly and became her protective brother. Ever since Amy became independent at the age of 18 and Alex went off to university, their relationship has become a bit fractured, but nothing that cannot be mended. Amy still very much loves her brother and wants him back in her life. But her alcoholism has repelled him. Having recently married, Alex has had less time on his hands for his little sister and looking after their ill mother. He still very much cares about Amy but has a lot on his hands. JULIETTE ASHBY | Childhood best friend Jules, as Amy often calls her. She too is a singer, she and Amy formed a temporary hip-hop duo dubbed "Sweet N' Sour" in their early teens. Since Amy's life reached abysmal heights, distance has grown between the two girl friends. They still hold each other dear and Juliette is more than willing to mend things with Amy. LAUREN GILBERT | Childhood best friend The hard one. Another friendship wounded by Amy's fame, Lauren still tries to reach out to Amy, but Winehouse's life is far too crowded with business. Amy badly desires to repair their friendship and start over again since becoming two different people due to life experiences. SALAAM REMI | Best friend The big teddy bear of a hip-hop producer, Salaam produced Frank with Amy, and a few tracks on Back to Black. Amy is very tight with Salaam and they visit each other often when she is in the United States. She plans on working with him again on her third record. KELLY OSBOURNE | Best friend Best friend since the rising action of Amy's career. Daughter to rockstar Ozzy Osbourne, Amy was first acquainted with Kelly through an interview, and have been great friends since. Sadly, the press mentioning 'Amy's best friend, Kelly' has upset Juliette and Lauren. A former addict herself, Kelly has done her best to motivate Amy to keep a life of sobriety. Amy adores Kelly and they share words of wisdom with each other. Osbourne is one friend who has never completely left Amy's side. RAYE COSBERT | MANAGER Raye and Amy have an ambiguous relationship, they do care about each other and try to keep on the business side of things. Often she calls him “Raye-Raye”. Unlike Winehouse's previous manager, Nick Shymansky, Raye does not necessarily interfere with her affairs outside of her career, which was exactly the type she wanted, having formed an unprofessional relationship with Shymansky that ended in him caring more about her health than her career. NICK SHYMANSKY | FORMER MANAGER Amy and "Nicky" Shymansky have been dear friends (and at one point lovers) since the dawn of Amy's career. He was the scout to promote Amy through A&R. He is an intelligent man who already owned a home at the age of 20 and had a wedge of yearly income. The first time around, Amy released him because Nick was interfering too much with the personal end of Amy, even forcing her to go to rehab shortly before the release of her second album, Back to Black. Amy loves Nick dearly as a friend and they remain in contact. But lately, it's been ceasing. BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL | EX-BOYFRIEND One of the biggest male figures in Amy's life and the most negative, Blake was a music video producer when he met Amy in 2005 at one of Amy's favorite pubs in Camden, The Old Blue Last. He was already with someone else, but Amy became infatuated with him. In the beginning, he was very passionate and understanding. Deep down, she cannot truly let go of him. Amy had no plans on returning to Blake and cut all forms of contact with him. But there are times when she encounters him in Camden pubs. MARK RONSON | Best friend The main producer of Back to Black. Of similar Jewish descent and British nationality, he and Amy get along very well and share similar music tastes. Since Back To Black Mark has become a big name in the music industry. Amy could talk about music with Mark for hours. She had a crush on him when they first met, but nothing else occurred beyond that.
