Cleopatra Stratan: Romanian Heartthrob

Maybe you've seen her bopping down the sidewalk with her giant red suitcase casually singing the lyrics to her no. 1 hit, "Ghita." Maybe you haven't, but this young singer is all the rage back home--home being Moldavia, the northeastern region of Romania and Moldova.

And now, now ladies and gentlemen, you can go to your local Carrefour and get a singing Cleopatra Stratan doll for a mere 100 lei. Or you can just send me your orders, and I'll pick them up for you. No promises, though.

I think I had a dream about Cleo the other night... seriously. It's all a very vague memory sort of thing... although i do remember something about her being Spanish(?) Yeah, it was weird.

that is definitely weird. but the song has been translated into Spanish, so you may have heard it in that language...? Or maybe you just invented that. But hey, ¿porqué no?
