oh love I knew by coincidence! Ranya is an incredibly sweet person, wrote some very nice emails and for people who purchased from herself she held phone conferences.. I could not participate for moving around too much these months (hubby working abroad, me going back and forth between his residence in Southeastern Europe, my parents' house and a friend's were I am "sub-renter" for not needing a permanent place in my home town Vienna), but she kept me updated and wrote about the fire, how the fire extinction efforts flooded the building I think and made it impossible to live in for months.. how her CATS could luckily be saved too (gosh, having a cat I ADORE myself I can so relate to that being the first thought besides getting out oneself!).

But yeah, I had some very nice contact with lots of the people at WDNY, and also Michelle and Sandra. They're lovely and approachable for their fans! hehe and I guess I have the "Mediterranean" blood where you happen to talk A LOT :)
