“Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold on to,” says Vanessa, who was born and raised in Scarborough and is the lead singer of Vag Halen. Her favourite food is guacamole, her favourite colour is black, and the best advice she ever received was from her dad: “Always be aware of the bullshit in the room.”
