[SIZE="2"]Paige, I agree with your thread, and have given thought to whether my cding, is magic, illusion, or disguise, costume, yada, yada. Phyliss' post said it well, for me, too. One thing is for sure: my voice does not pass, and any effort, is really magic, or illusion! I wish there was a fruit juice, or gum, or lozenge, that could give ladylike voice. I do agree that every person puts on a false self illusion, at least some. Wasn't there a song by Roger Whitaker, years ago, "I don't believe in if any more. Ifs an illusion."[/SIZE]
