You know what? You are absolutely right! I meant Victoria de los Angeles. D'oh! I knew there was a de la/de los in there somewhere. It was late and I've been working too hard. A good recipe for keeping one's mouth shut, I agree. Mucho apologies, but Kiri is one of those artists who, not unlike Alanis (sp?) Morrisette, makes me want to yell "Shad-DUP already!" Knee-jerk reaction kind of thing. Stuffing my nostils with habs in remorse...
