First of all, I've been at the last show in Milan yesterday. It was the fist Tori's live performance I have ever seen and I have to say it was something unique. 2 hours of breathless live performance. In Milan too, the show started with a "cold" version of '97 Bonnie & Clyde, I think something similar to the Berlin performance (as described by Eric on 16th december). I thought Tori was a little sick. Not at all! Then the torn curtain fell and her voice was beatiful, as always. I appreciated the fact that she played above all her old songs (Winter, China, Leather, Me and a gun, Horses, Caught a lite sneeze, Hey Jupiter, Little Amsterdam, Take to the sky, Suede and others) instead of those of Strange little girls (which are, if I remember well, New age, Rattlesnakes and Real men). Also, she went behind the scenes and then returned to sing twice. At the end Tori played a special song for us, a promise she did at the beginning of the concert (my English is quite poor, so I didn't understand what song was and what she referred to). The best moment was the end of her performance: her version of "Merry little Christmas" (maybe this is not the right title of the song) and, above all, Hey Jupiter, with its final highs. Memorable and touching!. I adore the Tori old style, only her with her Bvse. She pull out of me the good part. I am atheist, but if believed in God, she would be my goddess. :-) The second reason I'm writing is because I need an advice. Many months ago (it was in February) I bought on Ebay Tori's first record, Baltimore, from an American seller. Since she seemed reliable and was in need (she had to be turned out of her house) I decided to pay also for another record, making a total of 775$ (including shipping insured for 800$ to Italy, where I live). I paid through Paypal and she sent me the records. Many weeks later I received a letter from a postal office in Milan, which asked me to pay the custom fees for the package, even if it was sent as a gift. Since the fees are the 30% or so of the value (of course I didn't expect to pay fees on a gift), I decided to refuse the package. Before doing this, I wrote to the seller asking her to send it to me again (I paid her 30$ more), but to another address (a Swiss one) and without insurance. So the package went back to USA and she received it at the end of August. She wrote me saying she sent it a few days later by airmail to the Swiss address I had provided to her, but I never received it. At the beginning I thought that the delay was due to anthrax, but now it's more than 3 months that I'm waiting. Of course, I contacted the seller many times, but she said that there's no way to trace where the package is. The ebay insurance is no more valid, since it has passed more than 3 months from the end of the auction. I don't know what to do, so I would be grateful to anyone who has any suggestions. Since I don't know if this is the right place to talk about this, just write to my email address. Excuse my mistakes. Thanks and marry Christmas, Alessio ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2001 22:03:24 -0500 From: "n'woj" Subject: tori on roswell am i insane or was tori's "have yourself a merry little christmas" used at the end of this week's "roswell"? woj ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2001 22:46:17 -0500 From: "n'woj" Subject: tori on extra from toriamos.com: Tuesday, December 18 Tori's segment on Extra (the TV show) will run this Fri (12/21) on NBC at 7:00 PM.
