First of all, apologies to the great Clara Sereni for appropriating her title!

I'm tidying up a bit before the holidays. My articles page at mondo marion is less out of date; I've also created a best-of page, since the traffic between mondo marion and vilaine fille has grown exponentially in recent weeks.

Please welcome these new members to vilaine fille's extended virtual family:

Andrea Burnsworth's Music to live by

The mysterious Paul, combattant anti-manxiquais

Classical Domain, a guide to musical events in New York

Don't forget to visit Sor Giorgia and Fra Roberto for the lowdown on I Lombardi alla prima crociata, a tornado of an opera I've never quite gotten my head around, starring the always robust and flavorful Er vino dei castelli.

Pray for peace! *smooch*
