Welcome to Welcome to July! If you're a fan of ridiculously hot weather, then this is the month for you! Whew! I tell ya, the summer of 2010 has been pretty darn scorching so far, but I'm doing my best not to complain, even as my electic bill skyrockets from having the air conditioner on. After all, a scant few months ago, the Philadelphia area had been buried by nearly six feet of snow that fell over the course of under ten days. YOW!

But I digress. Being a Pink Lady fan means coming into info on all sorts of interesting little things regarding our heroines, even if in an indirect manner. A few weeks ago, I was chatting with fellow fan Chuck Harter from Califonia who told me of an interesting, and charming little story about the joys of PL fandom:

"I have a friend in New York named Erich who has a five year old daughter named Emily. Recently I sent them a DVD of Pink Lady's "Let's Go Young" Live TV performances and a Greatest Hits CD. He called me and said that he sat young Emily down in front of the TV and put on the DVD. For the first song she didn't react...the second song made her smile...the third song made her sway to the music...The fourth song brought her to feet...the fifth song made her start to imitate the dance moves...and she danced for the rest of the DVD. When it was done she demanded that it be shown again...which it was...and she danced for the whole disc. Later that day she listened to the CD in the family car  and was sort of singing along phonetically. For the next two days, till I received the phone call from dad, Emily was rocking out and has fallen in love with Pink Lady. She is drawing pictures of Mie and Kei and soon will be having a Pink Lady Party for several of her kindergarten girlfriends. This shows the everlasting appeal of Mie and Kei!"

Now, is that awesomely cool to the nines or what? Over thirty years after their stellar debut, Mie and Kei continue to draw in new fans! Who'd a thought something like THAT would happen? Needless to say, I was delighted about the story and, like Chuck, I'm also curious to what happens with Emily's PL party! If I've said this once, I've said it a million times, the appeal of Pink Lady is timeless and total, and I'm glad to be a part of that magic on this side of the Pacific, spreading the gospel of Pink Lady here in the States! In the meantime, I've got good stuff to share like a new Showtime page and a Trooper Tru review of "Saikai Pink Lady". Tru's passion for Mie and Kei definitely shows in his reviews, so go read 'em! Until next month, take care and have a great day!

Your Friend,
Jeff
