Crazy. Madness. Fashion Week. Oh My God! You thought the rock and roll industry was insane? Try sound check at a runway show. Try...IT ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN!! My first live performance as a solo artist and they were running so far behind that I almost didn't get a sound check. The stage hands were polishing the stage and looking visibly peeved off at our presence (me, Angi, Angela and Robyn my backing vocalists) as we attempted to get our sound happening. And poof! It was all over in 4 minutes or so. All that preening, prancing and chaos and it ended as quickly as it began. Back to the hotel for dinner and woke up this morning to do an interview with “Interview” magazine.

It's freezing here by the way. I really didn't expect it to be. Right now I'm curled up in my cozy hotel room watching divorce court (not by choice) whilst typing this to you. I've seen a lot of plays this week. I went to see “Anne Hathaway” in a staged reading of the musical Carnival (SHE IS GOING TO BE A SUPERSTAR) I saw De La Guarda "learn to fly" (for the third time in 3 years)... I'm seeing a Shakespeare play tonight and “The Producers” tomorrow. Hey...I never get to do this stuff and I'm loving it. Besides, life for me is about to get ultra hectic so I thought I'd try to squeeze in a bit of culture before I head off around the world promoting ... Me!

Happy Valentines Day by the way. Hope you get a card or something sweet. If not, don't worry. I rarely do :)

Love
