Another close call
The universe works in weird ways, thats all I can say to myself.
I have nearly met Elton many times. And it happened again on my birthday, and not just any birthday either, it was my 50th! Here is the weird part, I went to Disneyland on my 18th birthday and later that evening I was speaking with another college student who was also at Disneyland that day with the International Student group and he saw Elton there and had a picture to prove it. I have posted the picture on this blog.
Fast forward to Oct 12, 2010, my birthday. I took that week off from work. Meanwhile at work they sent another tech to record and interview WITH ELTON JOHN and Leon Russell. If I had been there that day, they would have sent ME. Wow so close but so far.
He's a DADDY
Congrats to Elton and David. I am so happy they brought a baby boy Zac into the world on Christmas day, how do you plan that one?
What a lucky boy.

OMG, OMG I met TINA SPARKLE
I am so excited that Tina has landed in Los Angeles!
Check out Tantrums and Tiarra's by David Furnish and the new version DVD
Tina Sparkle was the name given to Ron by Elton John. He was Elton's Hair and Make Up man in the 90's and is in the video.
He is an image consultant and I have an image that needs consulting. I hope he can make me over, he's had a lot of experience with girls like me!
And as far as the new DVD version.....
Elton speaks quickly and with his sharp humor is right on

But ........just one thing
Subtitles would really help us American Sods for sure!
Love the commentary and deleted scenes! Thank you David for doing this video.
Otherwise, the life of Elton John in the mid 90's reveals a workholic who is on the right path.
I am left wondering why Sir EJ still wants to tour;
yet as a fan I am so happy that he still does!
I will see EJ in Tahoe in July
Stay tuned for the review!

Girls' Health: Kits to Aid in Menstrual Health May Cut School Absenteeism in Kenya
I found this artical at New York Times.com on Feb 18, 2010. Just one more reason why I love Elton John and .....

Tackling a problem that is widespread but rarely discussed, a new American-backed charity in Kenya has begun making and giving away kits containing washable sanitary pads, underwear and soap.
Many schoolgirls from poor families stay home up to five days each month when they have their period, according to a recent study in rural Ghana by Oxford University scientists. Disposable sanitary pads like those used in wealthy countries cut absenteeism, but poor families often cannot afford them; a Kenyan girl interviewed by the Voice of America said a box of pads costs about the same as a bag of corn flour, and her parents had to choose the latter.
Substitutes like cloth, mattress padding or newspaper may leak or raise the risk of infection. Not only are the girls embarrassed, but as soon as it is clear they are ovulating, pressure for sex from men — often including their male teachers — steadily increases, the study found.
Huru International, in partnership with the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Johnson & Johnson, Sunflag Steel, Warner Brothers and other backers, developed large but soft terry-cloth pads that can be washed and reused. They are sewn and packaged at a Nairobi community center supported by AmericaShare, the charity arm of Micato Safaris, a New York travel company. The kits also contain information about safe sex and avoiding AIDS. AmericaShare hopes other African women will use microfinance loans to buy the machines needed to make the pads and sell them.
