wild wigs ... and her song stylings, of course!

| |
| | October 2005, "How we didn't lose the plate glass windows
is beyond my spun out comprehension," Tina told us during
a brief break in the proceedings after the octave shattering
arias offered up by Katya Ludmilla Smirnoff-Skyy. When not
wowing her hordes of fans, Katya can be found "selling
make-up to the masses at Macy's MAC counter."
