Paper from the Urban Gypsy collection by Urban Lilly. And some BG rub-ons.
A few months back iL Divo were in Hong Kong. For just one concert. And Lily being quite a fan of operatic pop music, we could not possibly miss it. It had to be a mum & daughter evening because after I made Joe sit through a Julio Iglesias concert, he threatens me with dire consequences whenever I mention certain kinds of artists.

The fact that all the four singers are so easy on the eyes does help their popularity. Not just young girls but a lot of middle aged women were screaming in the stands! These guys really know how to work it! We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! Simon Cowell obviously knows his job very well.
A few weeks before the concert I was at Tom Lee, queuing up to collect my internet booked tickets. The rotund lady in front of me was in her early fifties, an almost severe bespectacled countenance, with a pronounced Singaporean accent. She reminded me of a reserved school teacher. Till I made the mistake of asking her if she was waiting to collect tickets for the same concert. I had opened the floodgates of fanatic adulation!
Oh the joy, the passion, the ecstasy even, of witnessing iL Divo sing from such proximity! She had paid for a first row seat. And who was my favorite, she wished to know. That would of course determine which side of the stage I booked my seat, would it not? And how could I possibly not know their names? Everyone knew Carlos and David and Urs and Sebastien!! And did I know where they were singing after Hong Kong? No? Why ever not?!
And so it went on for the half hour I had to wait till I reached the counter. And I came away not only with tickets for iL Divo, but significantly more informed about the group - enough to impress even my 13 year old daughter who previously had a dim view of my knowledge about singers and artists and such.

What an adorable story! I haven't had the opportunity to see Il Divo live yet... I am a very recent fan... but I love that you and your daughter went to see them together.
Operatic pop - I had to look that one up!! Sounds like fun & pretty layout!
Hi, just dropped into your blog while randomly clicking the "Next Blog" button. Nice to meet another scrap booker on the net (not that we are a rare breed LOL). Love your layouts. You've got a great eye for some of the more complex patterned papers I'm to chicken to try.
Oh my goodness..how can this be? Lily has grown up and you haven't changed a bit. What a lovely pair you are! I would LOVE to see iL Divo and have several CDs now on my MP3 player.
