this last one of her crying was taken last year as i boarded a plane out of Capetown back to LA. she cries easily; she also laughs a lot. she never went under the knife & every little wrinckle not only proves it but tells a different story. there's nothing more dramatic than being natural! here's another post full of photos i once posted for Mother's Day... just like we celebrate her two birthdays (her South African papers indicate her birthday was on the actual day she was born in Capetown -July 6th 1945- while her Belgian papers put her birthday on the day her Belgian papers were issued a month later -August 6th), we also celebrate the mothership on the US calendar (she's in Miami right now) and on the old continent's calendar, which usually falls in late May or early June. Magda is flying back to Brussels on thursday so while all other mother's get treated over there, i better not forget to shower her with more love & gratitude with another call... or else!!! i just now caught her on the phone & she's waiting for my youngest brother to pick her up & take her to this pub in Miami that serves over 200 varieties of beer, belgian ones included, to get her acclimated back to Brussels before her flight... GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

sadly, the luminous Lena Horne has left our mortal sphere today... may her spirit soar & keep on singing wherever her soul takes her...
