:-| Indeed, Island.

I would have expected those younger ones who had not heard of Sims to have at least looked up her name. They’d have then discovered how versatile she was rather than label her as they did. A shocking betrayal of real journalistic expertise, methinks.

Ice Cold in Alex sprung to mind as soon as I heard of her demise. She made a good Queen Mother too in my opinion. <3
