THE CONFUSIN MULHOLLAND DRIVE David Lynch, 2001 "It's a noir-ish mystery and a love story about two women in Hollywood and the chaos that surrounds them. Isaw it when Iwas a young teenager when Iwas obsessed with film and directors and David Lynch in a really geeky way. This was the first of his that Icould see in the cinema and Iwent with my dad, which was uncomfortable during the sex scenes. Iremember thinking it was a visually beautiful, incredibly confusing piece that left me wanting to know more. Italked about it for ages." Geeky fact: "People have different ideas about how to interpret the film. Isubscribe to the dream theory narrative, where the second half is the reality and the hammy, soap opera-like first half is afantasy. Did I ask David Lynch if that's correct when Imet him? No — Ihad to rein in the inner fanboy. Itook a photo with him and Iwas so excited it looks like a vein in my forehead is about to explode." Number of times I've seen it: "Probably about 15."

What are the festival must - haves you pack every time?

Sunglasses and wet wipes, always. Wellies, sunscreen and my can't-do-without hairspray —the VO5 Dry Texturising Spray, as it's so great for adding grip and texture for that festival look.

What's the ultimate festival you'd like to tick off your bucket list?

Bonnaroo in Tennessee is definitely the bucket list festival for me. It's one of the top US festivals that's managed to keep its musical integrity over the years. My musical taste is super-eclectic and the line-up in VO5 Dry the past has been perfect, with Texturising Spray headliners from Kanye to Elton 250m1 RRP £4.39* John to Pearl Jam.
