AIDA!

My talented sissy, Lo, performed as Aida in the broadway musical, AIDA, and rocked the freakin' house. We older sisters knew she had talent, but not like this! Lo sang in eleven songs, many of them solos or duets, and let's just say...my jaw DROPPED.

La La played an African-American princess, Aida, of Nubia. Aida is captured and made to be a slave, but falls in love with royalty of Egypt, her country's archenemy.

In preparation for the play!

Front row Joe!

Matchy shoes! And...what does this have to do with broadway?

Excitement radiates from the Mal Pal

Mama, Markie, Meg, Jon and Hells

And now...for your viewing pleasure, some stills of the play...

Sixchix rule: No kissing until you're 16, and then you get a trip to Disneyland with Mom. The deal has always been that when Lo makes it ALL the girls go, which we have planned for October.

Lo turns 16 July 30th, but was lucky enough to receive her first kiss (Mom approved) on stage during rehearsals for the play. She's said her experience with kissing thus far has been unimpressive, poor thing.

I'm feeling slightly queasy by this act in the play.

Luckily I didn't catch a picture of the two kissing, or there would be vomit on my keyboard at this moment.

This song was incredible! I'm so proud of my lil' sissy!

The two lovers have been discovered, immediately before his arranged marriage to the princess of Egypt. He (Radames) made his vows only to be put to death by the Pharaoh, with his love, Aida.

We felt like stars just being there with our celebrity sister!

The attending fam, minus Mom. Don't mind my gray hair, I've been under a lot of stress.

To Lo: I am so dang proud of you, and hope you sincerely know that. You are such a talented young lady, and definitely someone I look up to! Continue sharing your gifts, and you will be blessed. Love you much!
