kay, you ask me
"what's she wearing, there?"there? where? If you are referring to 'her shields'?
they are not uncommon when facing an opponent in
'singing competitions' (per simon): i.e.
you won't do battle dressed in that garb?
being an opera singer does have it risks (consider all those operas storylines, previously written), but also look at the fame you will achieve?
with your endearing PUBLIC:
" SING ON, my sweet bird ! "
