Lush, Plush and Gush...

The new Babs Streisand CD came out today and I was faced with quite a dilemma. Two versions were released. There is the standard issue CD in normal jewel box and a limited edition digi-pack (cardboard "jewel" box) with a DVD. Obviously, I had to get the deluxe/limited edition version, but now I would have an irregularly-sized cardboard box that will probably fall apart in a year or two.

Now, for those of you who do not know --- I rather like Babs. So, I have every single CD she has ever released. That means I have well over 53 Babs CD's. I stopped counting after 53. Anywho, I was concerned how this digi-pack would look --- so I also purchased the standard version for the living room. I shall keep the digi-pack DVD with my DVD collection. Problem solved!

Obsessed much?

The CD is very lush, filled with dramatic gushing orchestrations and plush arrangements. So, in a word --- pure Barbra! I love it! The packaging contains photos taken in 1991 and 1996 --- so she looks like pure butta! I guess at 62 she does not want to put out current photos. Oh well.

This was the lift I needed for my week which ain't going so well.

My hands are looking old and dry to me. This makes me sad.
