I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...
Its so hard to put into words!
I have always love your music and movies..but a few years ago my mom got cancer and died within 6 months. I put on her clothes ad did her make-up. That was the hardest thing i ever had to do
I could'nt really talk to anybody about that. I have no brothers or sisters and my dad just could'nt handle it.
my husband did not know what to do and went on with his life. i do have a wonderfull son but he was only five when she died.
then....i saw the timeless dvd and i started crying for the first time in 3 years the minute you came on stage...(weird huh??...music can do that to you)
I started to watch and listen to all your stuff,and for some reason it helpt me deal with her death.
You are not supposed to cry in my family you know...so i cry with your movies ad music...and most important..you can also make me laugh again!!!
And we think the same (i think) about food,children, our dog,(wich i named Sadie btw) and politics...how can i not be a fan???
I live in Holland, but i'm in LA a lot of the time...still...
Love from Holland..Nadine
