Vera Fang @verafang.bsky.social · 11hI have a (non-Nazi-era) German army-issued parka which is so warm I only wore the whole inner and outer when I was filming outside in Iceland over a New Year. Any other time the outer part is enough. The tiny german flag does get some men into a tizz mind. 100

Vera Fang @verafang.bsky.social · 17hWhen we moved to London, the estate we lived on near Ladbroke Grove was full of National Front/British Movement supporters. It was all “Engerland for the Engerlish.” They HATED us and everyone else who wasn’t white English. Nasty, narrow minded bigots who were miserable so blamed everyone else. 040
Vera Fang @verafang.bsky.social · 17hI have a British passport in my drawer because I AM British. But I’m not culturally English - I’m Scottish. Do I not count as real British to honest Bob? Or to his racist cronies? I grew up with this shit, from uneducated fascists. And now it’s openly spoken out loud by a political leader. Fuck him 22710

I love frankincense yet it seems to only appear in niche perfumes sadly. To me it smells dark, misty, secretive yet warm.

Vera Fang @verafang.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I once interviewed an actor for a food series (he's Italian and cooks). He was tall, beautifully dressed and smelled of frankincense.

Vera Fang @verafang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Honestly, one of my proudest moments last year was (not deliberately) nudging a ski onto an influencer's head as she was "broadcasting" into her hand-held fluffy mic about a cocktail at a PR event.
