A little background…
The Dame started about 3 years ago over at Tumblr as a place to share pictures, quotes and other things I find on the internet that inspire me as well as answering advice questions and sharing my accumulated wisdom. Since then, it has grown into a blog with over 4500 Tumblr followers.
The positive feedback and thank you emails I received regarding my advice/wisdom posts inspired me to take The Dame to a proper website where I could continue to help and inspire people as well as feature other people following their dreams.
Who is The Dame?
My name is Lisa and I was born and raised in sunny South Africa. I immigrated to England in the summer of 99. Since then, I have visited numerous countries and also spent 2.5yrs living in Australia.
I have had many different jobs in my life so far. From Waitress and Personal Assistant to Stable Hand and even Stripper! I didn’t go to University or College but I like to think I have a Degree in Life Experience having done so many things.
I’ve been through all kinds of things in my life that have shaped who I am. From growing up in an abusive home, being bullied at school, taking drugs for more than 10 years and suffering from lifelong anxiety and bouts of severe depression, I have developed into a woman that naturally inspires others to follow their truth and to be strong through the hard times. With your help, I hope to continue doing that through this website.
I enjoy dancing, travel, photography, design and DJing. Im an Aquarius and an Indigo Adult. My style icons are Rachel Bilson & Drew Barrymore. oh, and cats.
You can read my Bucket List to find out the kind of things I want to experience and achieve.
So far, Ive been featured on YesandYes.com and my extremely popular post “How To Be Skinny” was linked to by GalaDarling.com and various other sites.

An ex patriot I see. Only now do I see that you are also South African, although I rather like to think that we are all simply Earthlings. But it is still nice to see that South Africans are also doing stuff. :p

Hello…
I didn’t see a blanket email address to send this to – so I hope this will be ok.
So i wanted to be a good samaritan and get you a “wish list” item from amazon…being i have been enjoying the blog, and tweets – along with the view (you in your entirety is a very attractive one).
anyway, you will be seeing a package soon – but being amazon.uk seems to have some issues with cross country gifts….it will be addressed to Geoff Lee. This of course is me – but the item is for you.
I hope you enjoy.

p.s. Tamara is oddly my favorite artist as well – so, your taste is extra refined.
Well! Thank you very much! I just checked my “Purchased” list on Amazon and am extremely pleased at the gift you chose, I cant wait to show them off!
And you know what, they are the perfect gift to me right now. Today I got a massive hit of inspiration to upgrade my life and these are the perfect shoes to take me into my new life!
Thank you very much for your generosity.
