Happy Birthday Trace!

Tracey turns 48 today. Here's a funny write-up for Today's birthdays from the Chicago Sun Times. It's pretty spot on, even though we don't believe in horoscopes.



CELEBRITY PROFILES: One-woman show Tracey Ullman is a mirth-making Capricorn and a bit of a loudmouth.

Capricorns have a fabulous sense of humor, and that’s born of necessity for Tracey: Performing her first comedy skits at age 6, she cheered up the family after her father’s death. Tracey’s famous for her mimicry.

Her Mercury (voice) is a firecracker powerhouse with Mars and Jupiter in blunt Sagittarius.

Holiday!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Now a little flashback from 1984, when Tracey was a Stiff Recording Artist, performing in Montreux. Enjoy. See you in 2008!
