Author: Daily Duranie
Once upon a time, there were two Duran Duran fans. One named Amanda, the other named Rhonda. Over many vodka tonics, they would laugh about the idea of one day writing a book about their fan experiences. While that manuscript is still being composed...Rhonda thought they should write a blog. (What was she THINKING?!) Lo and behold: The Daily Duranie was born.
Which John Taylor Are You?
So, how are you? This question feels to me to be a tough one to ask and answer these days. Nowadays, when I ask this question, I hear the subtle or not-so-subtle silence as the person pauses, trying to figure out exactly how to answer it. On one hand, people might feel glad or relieved… Continue reading Which John Taylor Are You?
Vodka Friday: We Talk My Own Way
For this Vodka Friday, we thought we would do something a smidge different. Instead of just talking about a random subject, we decided to be a bit more focused on Duran.

Poll: How about those comments?
Here’s the deal: I love seeing John, Roger, Simon or Nick engage with fans. I used to thoroughly enjoy seeing John on Twitter, for instance. It was, well, kind of a new world at the time.

For the 5,586th post…
No matter how you slice it, ten years is a lot. I can remember the very day I wrote the first blog. I was nervous, but also very-aware of how lost it would likely become in what I call the “washing-machine” of the web. Who would even see it? Likely no one. Even so, I… Continue reading For the 5,586th post…

I don’t know why today is the day for sentiment from me, but here we are, and this is happening. So, here’s the thing: I live on the west coast, as… Continue reading How did I dream you?
Vodka Friday: It’s Birthday and Party Time!
The rumor is true. Light up TEN big candles…on Sunday, that is. Yes, we are turning ten or celebrating our ten year anniversary. I’m not sure exactly how to phrase it. Nonetheless, it is happening.
