Dear friends around the world,

I do not celebrate my birthday but I appreciate all the flowers, gifts, messages and cards from around the world. It’s a lot of work for others and if others insist to do events at Kechara for my birthday I don’t stop them or attend. I appreciate it but I just feel bad for all the work and I don’t like attention but very grateful for the care. I also don’t celebrate other people’s birthday because it would be a weekly event if not daily as I am blessed to know many people.

Well I have a team of great people here in the USA assisting me with various works, food, cleaning, shopping, secretarial works etc. They are very kind people and I adore their company. They work tremendously hard and all of them are very harmonious. My birthdate is October 24th and they secretly surprised me with a horrendously funny act. They had prepared it and memorized their lines-amazing!

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is one of my favorite ‘horror’ movies played by two of Hollywood’s biggest box office movie queens when they were aging and not getting much work. This movie revived their presence in the media again. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford’s cult classic has been mimicked by thousands of impersonators around the world for decades now as it’s camp, funny, macabre and also sad. Well I’ve gotten many of my friends to watch Whatever Happened To Baby Jane over the years and sometimes I will act out parts with some of them for laughs. Well the joke was on me tonight. Our creative and talented US team here put on a surprise show for me as a birthday gift. It was such a huge surprise and it was hysterical. I was innocently typing away on some work in my room and the ‘circus’ walked into my room and the act began! See this video or Kechara’s rendition of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane!

I thank you guys for this wonderfully creative, unexpected and very 'my style' gift. I cannot imagine where you all found the time to do this with all of our works. Thank you and I have to share it here for the world.

Much appreciation as I wipe away my tears from laughter,
