And there is also the 1976 children's book: "Six Rags Apiece: Five Stories
About Fuzzy Bear and Velvet Belly" by Marcia Newfield.  For those who are
curious, here's a synopsis I was able to find: "TWO STUFFED ANIMALS, FUZZY
BEAR & VELVET BELLY, A CAT, ARE WORRIED WHEN A NEW BABY IS EXPECTED &
SUPPORT EACH OTHER WHEN THE ASTONISHING EVENT OCCURS."

I haven't heard that album, but the album "It'll End in Tears" (with
Buckley's "Song of the Siren"), is one of the more beautiful albums in my
collection.

Now I'm going to look at the fact that the Amy woman has a very similar 
hairstyle as well as some similar facial features A-M Almedal, and the name 
Amy is so close to the initials of Anne-Marie, and it's a Dutch magazine, and 
Velvet Belly have a good Dutch following and I'm going to draw to a 
conclusion that it's just a person made of up of bits on Photoshop inspired 
by A-M. That's the best way for me to chuck this thing out the window, 
otherwise I'm going to have to go against my own ethics about manipulating 
images in this way and start obsessively making lots of Anne-Marie clones 
using Photoshop myself. If a real Amy does exist, I do apologise, it's just 
synchronisity driving me mad.

fLip, I couldn't resist the idea of imperfect Velvet Belly clones of one sort 
or another, so I took quotes from your information about these French bands 
for my site , and tied it up in the same information block with a mention of 
Amy the Van girl. Maybe more clones will surface....
