A couple of Happy Birthday messages for Connie:
Julio Cezar do Amaral
Rio de Janeiro
You raise our spirits high
When we are feeling low.
You make us feel emotions
Right from head to toe.
You’ve been with us
Through thick and thin,
Our lives filled with your voice.
So it isn’t any wonder
Your the LADY of our choice.
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CONNIE!
WE LOVE YOU!

This is a poster to be found all over Brussels for a kind of festival or something. In fact the interesting thing about it is that I just can’t help it, I can’t stop thinking that this is Connie on the photo. It’s very difficult because it’s just the eyes you see - but this look is so unique and typical.
