Sometimes, you just know
The way you know about a watermelon.
Check out the adorable black puffball dress I just bought from a boutique shop next door (new shoes, too. £10. A snip!). Well, I do have a wedding to go to when I get back…

About this blog
It's over.
Ah... Do you want to know a bit more?
This blog was set up to chart my experience singing in Malaysia for two months (see below for the original 'About this blog' blurb) - and is over until the next time I do a stint in Asia, at least. At which point, I'll probably return to this page, slap a big '2' next to the words 'Lost In Transposition', and start blogging every day, all over again. In the meantime, I'll be writing weekly posts about life, the universe and jazz music over at the 'Blog' section of andreamann.com. Which is my main website, and where no pictures of my bottom exist.
My name is Andrea Mann and I'm a jazz singer and a freelance journalist. I live alone in London, England... except for February and March this year, when I'll be living in with approximately 300 other people in a hotel in Penang, Malaysia.
It's a five-star hotel with a pool, a spa and a jazz lounge. I'll be singing six nights a week in this jazz lounge, and the agent says I'll "be treated like a local celebrity". I'm imagining my experience might turn out to be a little like Lost In Translation. Hence the title. And the bottom.
This is going to be my blog about my adventures out there. I apologise in advance for making you click on my bottom to get to the homepage. Past posts

nice dress
March 26th, 2008 at 6.37pm
why, thank you
March 26th, 2008 at 7.18pm
Not like I’m any sort of fashion expert but you look very Audrey Hepburnesque in that photo.
March 26th, 2008 at 7.56pm
gorgeous!
March 26th, 2008 at 8.36pm
thanks guys! that photo doesn’t do it justice, either. the dress is *in focus* and everything…

that was supposed to say… [cat whistle]
March 27th, 2008 at 1.15am
Phil - is that American for ‘wolf whistle’? or something else entirely?
March 27th, 2008 at 1.48am
Can cats whistle?
March 27th, 2008 at 1.54am
possibly. and probably higher than wolves.
March 27th, 2008 at 2.37am
it’s a contraction of ‘cat call’ and ‘wolf whistle’. We Americans are all about soiling the English language.
March 27th, 2008 at 3.02am
*waves hand at American* shoo! get off our language!

Ooh, I’d better up my game in the wedding guest outfit dept. Failing that, I’ll just stand a long way from you all day so that fellow guests don’t pity the badly dressed woman (probably with toddler snot trails liberally applied) standing next to the jazz goddess!
March 28th, 2008 at 1.46am
Oh that’s sooo cute! Love it. You look gorgeous. And look at all those shoes under the wardrobe too. Have you been shoe shopping?
March 28th, 2008 at 11.22am
Charlotte - just give me Max to hold and dribble on, instead!
and thank you for the compliment; but you could never be badly dressed if you tried.
Sarah - yes, it’s a really cute dress. may wear it for my last night here! and no - haven’t been shoe shopping bar the ones I’m wearing in the pic. just brought over enough to last me for two months!

now, see, that would be just one pair for us boys. Probably converse all-stars for that mid-life crisis tinge.
March 28th, 2008 at 5.20pm
Peter - I think the very fact that you’ve referred to yourself as a ‘boy’ shows that you are, indeed, suffering a mid-life crisis.
March 28th, 2008 at 5.31pm
And if Peter starts referring to us as ‘girls’ this will show us that he is, indeed, merely old. Or suffering dahling-itus.

or Terry Thomas.
March 28th, 2008 at 5.57pm
well, I say, you absolute shaaah…..
March 28th, 2008 at 5.57pm
