Ii am so not good at these things...especially when I haven't had dinner. I'm also too much of an introvert to tag anyone - so if you read this and want to be, consider yourself tagged!

 

1. My main hobby used to be making miniature artist bears.

2. I discovered BJDs in 2009.

3. I sewed one bear in 2010.

4. I blame Aoife.

5. Honeythorpe originated with my bears in 1999 - I made up the word because my first name means honey /honeybee and there were already a plethora of variations on the melbear/bears by melissa/honey bears theme.

6. You wouldn’t believe how many people on forums assume my name is Honey and call me that.

7. It makes me uncomfortable.

8. I learnt to use a sewing machine when I was 7.

9. Despite the fact that I sewed and overlocked my own clothes, I got a D in home economics at primary school because I couldn’t hand sew a pincushion.

10. I took great satisfaction in selling a hand sewn bear to my home ec teacher’s daughter in law for lots of money.

11. More than I should have (the satisfaction - not the money!).

12. I have always wanted a pet pig.

13. Ditto for red hair

14. Aoife has both.

15. I have never wanted to be a pirate.

16. I did want to be Harriet the Spy.

17. I have never been on a fairground ride.

18. Not even a ferris wheel.

19. I always said I’d save it for Disneyland.

20. I have wanted to visit America since I was 7 and saw an article in National Geographic about small town America. Everyone else in my reading group wanted to go chase lions in Africa.

21. I am now many times older than that and the furthest I’ve been from home is Australia and New Caledonia.

22. Next year I plan to make my dream a reality.

23. If I can stop buying dolls that is.

24. Plane tickets to the US are crazy expensive! I am a poor librarian.

25. Anyone wanna go to Disney with me? (sorry, I know that’s a question not a fact!)

There is a lot of unprofessional graffiti in Barcelona---perhaps more than in Rome, and that is saying something! These guys, however, appeared to be professional graffiti artists commissioned by a shop to paint these areas. It was all done in less than a day.

Para Ivete Sangalo, ele é Pop star. Na opinião de Zezé di Camargo, ele é Rei. Elba Ramalho o define como mestre. Para Geraldo Azevedo é um "ícone". E claro que todos estão falando de Luiz Gonzaga, que no dia 13 de dezmebro faria 100 anos. Nesse clima de festa, a cantora potiguar Marina Elali convidou grandes nomes da música brasileira para homenagear Luiz Gonzaga e o avô dela, Zé Dantas, parceiro fiel do Rei do Baião. O show, que será transformado em um DVD, aconteceu na noite desta quinta-feira (18), no Chevrolet Hall, em Olinda.

  

A primeira canção da noite foi Vem Morena. Em seguida, Marina recebeu o primeiro convidado da noite, Geraldo Azevedo. Os dois cantaram ABC do Sertão ao lado do Coral Infantil de Carnaíba, terra natal do avô da cantora. Logo após vieram Zezé di Camargo e Luciano com A Volta da Asa Branca. "No Brasil, temos dois grandes Reis, Roberto Carlos e Luiz Gonzaga, que infelizmente nos deixou, mas nos presenteou com sua inteligencia, obra e história construída", disse o sertanejo Zezé. A banda Aviões do Forró cantou Siri Jogando bola.

 

O ponto alto da noite foi a apresentação da baiana Ivete Sangalo, que gravou São João no Arraiá ao lado de Marina. "Luiz Gonzaga é o maior Pop Star. No Brasil, temos algumas grandes estrelas, certeza ele é uma dessas que tá no céu para guiar nos artistas com sua bela obra", disse a baiana. Outro momento bastante aplaudido, foi o encontro com Elba Ramalho, juntas, interpretaram Riacho do Navio. Por fim, Marina puxou O Xote das Meninas com Elba e Ivete.

 

Daniel Gonzaga, Quinteto Violado, Tânia Mara e outros artistas também subiram ao palco e registraram suas homenagens a Gonzagão e Zé Dantas. Para fechar a noite, todos os convidados subiram ao palco e cantaram São João na Roça.
