hello fellow friends, how are you today? happy? excited for the holidays? oh i am… and i am even more excited because in the end this day i will be on a very short vacations, but still… vacations! five full days off work with a weekend full with concerts in lisbon, i will be listening some very new musicians and i can not wait. do you know {janelle monáe}? and how about {coco summer}? i know that she is very talented, but just by the way… she is sting’s daughter and what a voice!
so, asides from music, today is {at home… far away from home} and we have two guests today. curious? one girl + one boy. even more curious? the first man in {…a place for twiggs}? one grown-up girl + a baby boy. ok, i will unravel the charade. she is carrying the baby boy… he has not seen this world yet, but expected in a few months! curious to know who this mom is? clues…
