"People are having to lock their doors!"--Lady Dee

Oh, and can I get a dog named Toto?

Guess who's gonna be in NYC?!

That's right! STING, the POLICE...and, JENNIFER!! my office mate just booked...Madison Square...the last show...so until then...I'm helping keep her company with this sweet Sting face mask.
