'What do have for us today Chennile?"
"It's called Liberal Values Nebulous Mist Body Spray and Carpet Deodoriser Janelle"
"Fascinating! Does it come an array of new exotic scents?"

Watching Brandi Carlile performing ‘The Joke’ on AN EVENING WITH ELTON JOHN AND BRANDI CARLILE and I have full-on goosebumps. I need to see this in person! When oh when will she tour Australia??

I loved Happiness so much!
