'''The Purplediva (or La Diva) is the pen name of an English blogger who introduces herself thus:

I’m a Forty something bad mummy, (rapidly pushing 50)….In the middle of my life, where dramas that turn into crisis happen on a far too regular basis……

I’m semi married (yes it does need explanation to long suffering ‘R’ with 2 beautiful daughters aged 20 & 23. I have 2 mad dogs & 1 fantastic cat. I have a large extended family and life is never usually boring. I love dancing, socialising and generally getting into lots of mischief! A few health issues has curbed my dancing, but not the desire…..the body is willing but not quite able! Although mischief is still a prerequisite!

A graphic designer of sorts, working freelance but I also have my fingers in a few other little pies. I don’t like a quiet life, but strangely, work alone…..so I blog, to ‘talk’………

I have a calling to do something outrageous and out of character….I’ve always conformed to society….but no more…..I’m ready to rebel, so watch this space!!

I’m very deep, quite misunderstood, fun….enigmatic….and very wicked! So I’m told……….

Enjoy the ride…..this is it……thoughts and all...'''

History
The Purplediva first went on-line in March 2008 and has attracted a dedicated and loyal following attracted by the highly comedic and often risque style of observational writing.

This following continues to grow driven in part by word of mouth but increasingly by the use of social networking sites including both Facebook and Twitter.

The origins of the name 'Purplediva' are described in the blog entitled The Plucked Chicken Club first placed in line in April 2008.
