Barbara Lea who has been highly acclaimed by the media. The New Yorker magazine wrote about Ms. Lea “Barbara Lea has no superior among popular singers. www.barbaralea.com .Julie Reyburn, always creative and unique on stage. She mixes comedy and drama with a lot of personal warmth. You did not include her name in the World Who’s Who of Best American Female Singers. What a shame. You should have. She is dynamite. Raven Snook. Terrific, brilliant all the way. Powerful stage presence and truly funny. I remember one of your articles on cabaret clearly explained that cabaret is a continuity of acts of different genres ranging from stand up coming to juggling, to dancing and singing, including drag queens acts. Well? Here she is. Raven Snook in person. She did it all. How come you never wrote about her? I would like to add two more if I may? You can always throw my letter in the trash if you do not agree with me but I think you are going to love it. Angela Edwards (Photo below). You missed Angela too. She was not on your list. What are you doing? Did you get a copy of her recent CD? Out of this world. Honestly, she is something. Write to her. Here is her email address angelaedwards@eudoramail.com. Otherwise listen to her music at her website  http://arrow_4.tripod.com/angel/angel.htm. The last diva is Susan Carlisle who is an English super duper singer. She sings in England at the best places and clubs. Her style is very rich and classy. She mixes all the great tunes of Dean Martin, Doris Day and latest trends in modern music. You can reach her at enquiries@spotonentertainment.co.uk . Gee I hope I did not take too much liberty in doing this. It would mean a lot to me if you print this. I appreciate what you are doing. Thanks for everything. Giles Hutherland, Bristol, UK.

Hi Erica: Publishing the article of Giles Hutherland was a nice gesture. Really classy on your part. In France, we call it “Le Beau Geste”. This is why we love you. With pleasure I will send you a half dozen of Champagne Dom Perignon. Tell me where to send the box and you will have it next week. I will make arrangements with DHL. Erica, I am a free-lance model. Not a nude model. A serious one. I pose for serious photographers. I research the subject before I accept any assignment or shooting session. I want to ask your opinion about what does appeal to you in the background or frame of a photo? I would like very much to know. Elaine Cassis, Isle St. Louis, Paris, France

 
How Can I Succeed in My Intimate Relationship and Romantic Love and Keep my Girlfriend? I am a Loving Person But My Anger gets in the Way… How to Control Anger and Hate in your Romantic Relationships. Dear Dr. Erica: I read so many books on romantic love, perfect relationship, romance, flirting and how to get a date. They were useful. I did not understand every thing I read but I learned enough to get by. I own a gas station in California. I see a lot of women every day. All kinds of women coming from everywhere, Las Vegas, Malibu, San Diego, Los Angles.

 I saw one the last day and I introduced myself. She was nice and good looking. I asked her out and she said OK. We began to date. I go to her apartment and she comes to my home on the weekend. Everything was fine except when she drives me crazy. I am originally from Afghanistan but I grew up in California. I went to CSU at Fresno and got my degree in social studies. This is to tell you I know something about American women. Marjorie, that is her name, my girlfriend is terrific when she is understanding and quiet but when she gets upset or pissed of at her work, he comes nuts, crazy, very unpleasant. This upsets me a lot. We begin to argue and she gets more moody. I get upset too and sometime I raise my voice and get angry.

I love her to death but she makes me so angry. Now almost all the time. I don’t want to lose her. I love this girl. She means a lot to me. I don’t want to go to a shrink because I don’t believe in this stuff. Shrinks are nuts. They need shrinks themselves. Okay, I am asking you Erica, how can I control my anger without feeling that she is dominating me? I want to maintain this relationship and succeed in my romantic relationship with Marjorie…If I control my anger and she controls her moody behavior do you think we can work it out? You know sometimes, I hate her but I love her to death. Please be frank with me, don’t give me mumbo jumbo psychiatric or spiritual stuff, tell me as simple as possible what I have to do …something practical and not complicated. I do not believe in counseling, psychiatry bullshit and pastoral counseling. They don’t work. I don’t want to hear about crazy stuff like heal yourself, find God inside you, look into your heart, be one with nature and the Divine…I am from Afghanistan, don’t forget now, India is our neighbor. I am in the United States now… How Can I Succeed in My Intimate Relationship and Romantic Love and Keep my Girlfriend? I am a Loving Person But My Anger gets in the Way…I thank you.
