There are even loads of new Alloids whose intros I haven't had time to read. Welcome anyway. Anyway, the reason for this post, and the reason I've been away is that I have a great announcement to make (are you ready for this Robin??) Some of you may remember from years back that I'm married to a beautiful and fantastically smart, talented and brilliant Moroccan called Nadia who I met at Uni. What you probably don't know is that we've been forced to be seperated since we left Uni in June 1997, because, not only were we married in 1996 in secret, without them knowing about it (they still don't), but we'd have been refused permission to see each other because, despite the fact that her parents are wonderful people, they are very devout Muslims, and REALLY socially elevated, so that the fact that their daughter was going out with a godless poor white rock drummer was anathema. The past 18 months have been exrememly difficult for both of us, apart, and we were on the verge of giving up in the face of this seemingly insurmountable gap, but last month various circumstances decreed that Nadia had to come to England for a short while, and to cut a VERY long story short, we've finally persuaded her parents that 5 years' dedication is enough of a basis on which to trust me to marry their daughter. So we're going to get married - again - to each other!!!! Strange or what?? I'll be going to Dubai in the Spring to convert to Islam, and to get engaged formally, and then some time probably towards the end of the year, we'll be tying the knot properly (a full three-day Arab wedding!), either there or London or Morocco, we don't know. It's so exciting, and then I'll be a full member of the Bensoudas of Fez, who are such an amazing and gifted family - I'm really hoping I'm up to it!! So there's my news - it's been a very long time coming, but it shows you what you can do with a bit of bloody-minded Yorkshireness behind you! Anyone who wants to hear Nadia sing can dig out their old copy of Zal and give Hawaii a spin - everyone who's sent me their address recently - I'll have your tapes done hopefully by the weekend, complete with bonus tracks from the next album.

That's marvelous. Second, I admire the tremendous commitment you are making to your bride in converting to Islam. That's a huge decision. (Heck, my mom converted to Catholicism from the Methodist Church to marry my father, and, THAT was a big deal for Mom's family!) Again, congratulations.

What good is an overstuffed chair without a footstool? I don't know about you, but I prefer my feet up when I relax. ;) No, I wound up telling the tale of how I had the chance but declined at the time. Embarrassment over a caesarean scar and all that. I just checked the backlog, and his note was dated the 25th of last month. I occasionally dye my hair red too, but I think there's some sort of custom that says every pagan woman has to dye her hair red or black sometime, so I'm following the trend. I do consider dying it a colour not found in nature on a regular basis, though. ;) I know how it is about those stubborn chin hairs...I seem to have developed a couple m'self. ::comf:: Robyn M @ Robyn Moore @ http://www.alveus.com/kbrm/robyn.html @ You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. - S.C. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Dec 1998 17:37:36 -0800 (PST) From: Elaine Linstruth Subject: Alloy: Christmas Show Alert Anyone who wants to catch the Rankin-Bass show with the Heat Miser & Snow Miser (official name is The Year Without A Santa or something), it's coming on CBS Saturday 12/12 at 8 PM Eastern, and again on Tuesday 12/15 on the Family Channel.

The strangest thing about it has been that nobody at work has said a single word about my haircolor change, even though I still catch them gazing at it when they talk to me. Could it be they're so used to my little idiosyncrasies that they've given up mentioning them? Mind you, this is a shade of red that does not look natural in the least... it's deep flaming cherry color with glowing purplish highlights. I love it :) The thing about doing my hair red is that it automatically makes me feel more outgoing... do you also find this to be true?

Dave and I haven't found out & can't remember if Russ ever mentioned it. BUT... I just heard an interview with Charles Schultz from 1990, and he was talking about the first print of that famous Charlie Brown Christmas cartoon. In today's version of course, Charlie Brown is flung off the ice and into a pine tree. However in the initial release, he was flung into a Coca-Cola sign, because Coca-Cola was sponsoring the cartoon. It was redrawn later as a tree. More intrusive product placement... believe it or not... there is currently a picture book in publication for little children, the kind which has a drawing of a glass of milk & the word 'milk' underneath, etc. However, in this version, they've taken out the 'milk' image & replaced it with McDonald's, because apparently McDonald's has a hand in children's publications these days (??) Dave's friend saw it with his own eyes while shopping for books for his two-year-old son. Robin T ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V3 #333 ***************************
