Well, I've had the absolute pleasure of having John 'beetle' Bailey re-mix our album "proof of love".
The reason I title this blog as it is, is because I've never worked with an engineer that knows how to work with my voice. He embraced every nuance with my tone and enhanced it. The album sounds incredible. Very rarely would I boast but wow, what a difference he has made.
You are all going to looooove it, I promise.

Well it's been awhile since I've written on this blog but we've been crazy busy.
We are re-mixing and re- packaging proof of love to suit our show, personality and look.
John Beetle Bailey will be my mixing engineer forever now. He knows how to work with my vocals. As you know, I'm not a flashy singer. My nuances are my gems, and The Beetle brought it out beautifully! I'm so pleased and I know you guys will be too.
Scott Morin is our agent now and I couldn't be happier. What an awesome team we have... I feel this is all finally coming together.
Thank you to the Beaches Jazz Fest for their incredible support.
And a bigger thank you to everyone who came out and supported our quirky cabaret. You even hung out in the rain!!!
We appreciate the love... Hope to see you all soon.
Much joy

We performed at the Beaches Jazz street Festival from July 21 - 23 and we've never had so much fun!!
We did not expect the kind of reaction we got at all. What an incredible surprise. Thank you all so much for becoming fans and appreciating what we do.
Much Joy!

The boys and I went to Aberfoyle yesterday and looked around for unusual pieces to inspire and maybe wear.
I found some Erte prints that I had to buy. I'll show you one of them, he was such a brilliant man, still is.
He was born in Russia and was in awe by the Persian miniatures he found in his father's library as a young boy. The exotic, bright images influenced his decision to move to Paris at eighteen.
In 1915 he began an association with Harper's Bazaar by designing covers of each of their magazines for the next 22 years. The influence of his work as a result of the high visibility of this periodical influenced an entire art movement that was to become known as “Art Deco”.
I discovered Erte by borrowing a book from Mathieu, owner of Frou Frou Vintage. I became obsessed with all the incredible artists in there. Erte was one of them.
It's funny, all the things I am very drawn to, seem to take me to Paris and the Art Deco period. Perhaps in my past life;)
But even more interesting. I created and designed a chain dress that I finished on Friday, and we went to the Aberfoyle market yesterday - I believe there's a connection.
We will be doing a revamp of the website soon so I wanted to give everyone a little taste of what the pictures will be like.
We hope you find this image intriguing and I can't wait to share the rest. Soon enough.
Wishing you all lots of joy!!!

Our show was sold out!! I am so grateful - thank you.
My girlfriend I grew up with was there and what a hoot. She caused some trouble as usual. Man! I miss my partner in crime.
Do you have friends like that? When you get together it's all trouble?? Tell me a story.
We performed a private event at the Gardiner Museum for Betty Woodman and her supporters. I got to meet the lovely Betty and we shared appreciation for each others talents.
As I was listening to Betty answer questions from her supporters, I was amazed by her grace and comfort. What you see is what you get. She definitely has a side to her that I can relate too. Although I don't know her personally, I can sense her childlike character and her quirkiness. I was tickled by her.
I hope one day we meet again and chat over tea; drinking from her glorious tea cups of course!
