Diva
August 17, 2008 –
I think nowadays Diva means a stroppy madam. To me Diva means a supreme female singer of an era where glamour was foremost. These ladies would never, ever be photographed drunk falling into a cab or worse. No these ladies wore fabulous gowns and were always impeccable. Diana Ross. Supreme Diva as far as I am concerned. Stunningly beautiful and a voice to melt even the coolest of hearts. I re-visited Diana the other day. By chance I got a cd with a compilation of love songs and the (has got to be) best love song ever was on there – Diana Ross and Lionel Richie – Endless Love. That is so beautiful. So I thought, hey I was brought up with Diana. Not physically, that would mean I would have an American accent and be a lot older then I am :) No, Diana Ross was played constantly in my house when I was a child. I know the words to pretty much all her songs. So I downloaded her ‘all time greatest hits’ album and spent most of the night reiterating to myself that yes indeed I still know all the words to all her songs, that is scary, it was a long time ago but my memory is obviously intact - the difference is, I also know what they (the lyrics) mean now.
This here blog thing started as a way to express my saucy self. But do you know what? There's more to me than the saucy bits! So herewith you will find all sorts of thoughts, anecdotes, ideas, funny things (lots of them), deep and meaningfuls - a mixture of everything really, just like life. I hope you like it here. I like it here. It's cosier if you are here too so stay a while.
