I'm about to run out the door to JFK to catch a flight to Monte Carlo, where Damian and I will be fulfilling our youthful dream of attending its Masters 1000 event this week. (Because my husband lives by the "If It's Tuesday It Must Be Belgium" rule, we'll also be in Avignon, Nice, Milan, St. Moritz, Zermatt/Matterhorn, Zurich -- Glacier Express -- Interlaken/Brienz before flying home via Paris.)
But before we go, I wanted to mention what a great weekend we had with my AZ childhood BFF, Greg, who flew in from Omaha to see Kylie Minogue last night at Madison Square Garden.
The festivities began on Friday, with a mini reunion of the old Tucson gang -- Greg, Kara and Jimmy, aka Scooter. (I'm assuming Marlise, Liesel and Paul's ears were burning hot!)
It was so great catching up with everyone and finally meeting Kara's life partner, Korn.
The time flew by, but it was a thrill to see friends I have known since the late 1980s, a highlight of which was Greg's bringing some photos many of us had never seen before!

We followed that up with a fantastic dinner with Greg's friend Dave -- along with his boyfriend Abel, at the Society Cafe -- before meeting my friend Greg at MSG moments before the show.
This was my third time seeing the Aussie pop goddess -- also in 2009 and in 2011 -- and it was by far the best. I may only be a casual admirer …
But by the end of the night, I felt like a superfan. So thrilled to see a woman of a certain age -- not unlike myself -- riding a new wave of success!

Don't forget, here in the UK she's always been successful ....enjoy MC, I'll be there for July, it's fun x
I saw Kylie in Montreal and she was excellent, as usual. I've seen many artists in concerts, from Cher to Madonna, from Celine to Mariah, from Gaga to Beyonce and non has the charisma Kylie has. Compared to X tour and Les Folies, this is one is very minimalist. Her shows are usually over-the-top. Regardless, she's one of those artists who really ENJOY to sing for her fans.
Did you see her in the U.S. on those previous tours? I recall there being a lull between costume changes in the past, which made me think the full shebang wasn’t brought here in the past. Whatever the case, this current tour was sublime.
I saw them in Canada!
