what a great topic, we often have a lot of dialog of what is and is not. Great to have an 'is' thread.

She's amazing, isn't she? And young -- still in her 20's I think.

The amazing Lucy is, indeed, still in her 20s and a luscious dancer. She's one of my favorites to watch and I'm lucky, seeing as she's pretty local. I have seen her dance on my birthday for the last three years - it's my gift to myself. I wind up in tears every time - she can milk an Om Kolthoum song like no one else.

Thanks for posting them.

(someone has to comment on Yasmin's hair so it might as well be me.

Wow, have you ever seen such long hair? Amazing!)
