Biography Lydia, this single woman has been up-close-and-personal with fame as she used to be a nanny for a high profile couple, which surprises people given her tattooed body and eccentric personality. Her fellow Houseguests may judge her by her looks, but she says, "don’t judge a book by its cover."
She describes herself as unique, colorful, silly and mellow, but liars and disrespectful people really get under her skin. Thinking of what her mother would tell her to do really helps calm her down.
Lydia has a very close relationship with both of her parents. Her father, a police officer, isn’t fond of her body art, but he loves and supports her no matter what. She refers to her mom as her best friend. She is extremely close to her siblings as well.
Her hobbies include bowling, swimming and yoga. She does not like to watch any sports whatsoever.
Lydia hopes that her stay in the BIG BROTHER house will bring her many new kind-hearted friends. She loves nice people and knows that they will share a lot together, especially during this experience.
Lydia’s birth date is March 8, 1985.

The tattoos are a tribute to her love of Harry Potter!!
No rooting, Michael!! :hearts:
Quote
Lydia: Some of my friends call me Mrs. Potter. I wish I was Mrs. Potter.
How do you express your love?
Lydia: I already have a tattoo of an "HP" with a little lightning bolt on my index finger and I want to get another one on my leg. I love it when little eight-year-olds are like: "I love it more than you do!" And I'm like: "I don't think so!" It's awesome to show everyone I'm committed -- it'll be on my body for the rest of my life. Maybe at the end of August/September, I'll get Harry flying on a broomstick with Hogwarts behind him and Hedwig on my leg.
Do you think you'll ever remove them? And are you still planning on getting more even after the seventh book?
Lydia: Go big or go home! I have too many tats to think of getting rid of them. I've got the Prince symbol on my middle finger because I'm in love with him. I have David Bowie, Hello Kitty, and an arm of all Paul Frank characters. I have a unicorn seahorse with a mermaid wrapped around my other arm. I have a lot of funky stuff! No way would I get rid of them.

Lydia reminds me of BB's attempt at having a "Crazy James 2.0" a kinder, more likeable version of James. Still retaining the openminded/adventurous edge that James had.

She looks just like Geena Davis when she played the Long Kiss Goodnight bad girl turned good girl turned kick ass girl. By the way my favorite movie EVAH!
Hi all! sort of a newbie posting here, but have been lurking for awhile. Lydia's one of my fav too. Here's a link I saw on jokers (I think). Love it!

:waves: Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'll be around even if I don't post a lot. This is the BEST site! My only comment so far is that I cannot stand Braden :dork: I couldn't even watch all of his interviews. I guess that's my person to hate this season (which doesn't mean I won't change my mind :shocking:)

When I saw her, I thought she was like 35, didn't think she was that young. She seems like Nakomis but probably more chill and interesting to be around.

I did a google search and found that she was Beatrice McCartney's nanny ( Daughter of Paul & Heather Mills) There was even a picture of "the nanny's hand with Beatrice shooing pigeons and the tats match! It was covered in the press on Jan 12, 2009.
