Shinanne HigginsProfessional company

60 minutesGames Room
When it comes to relationships, Shinanne Higgins is ALL about the D... disappointment! She is a single, 40-year-old "lady" on a journey of reflection. Her eggs are hanging on like contestants on Gladiators – see, even her cultural references are old! She grew up in 90's Ireland: in a world of romance novels and rom-coms, but she's always the bridesmaid, never the bridezilla! Her "type" has been alcoholics with mommy issues, that look like Gollum from Lord Of The Rings. In her defence, her love language is being told she's precious!
