The meet and greet itself was very cool- first we watched a video explaining about MWS and then watched a video for IWA. then we listened to 8 tracks, which were very good, I'd say it was heavy and dramatic... very dark and intense would best fit.

Then of course, the questions, I can't say word for word what Tarja said as she said so much interesting things. but we asked:

Have you got any Tattoo's?
She hasn't yet because she doesn't know what to have, what she's be brave enough to have on her body.

When was the last time you had a drink and did you do anything silly?
Couple of days ago in Berlin, and she couldn't say if she did anything silly... she said she was silly enough without having a drink.

If you could have 1 cd/dvd and 1 item with you on a Desert Island?
This one was funny, because she said that there were two scenarios, one being, you go to the Island in which case she'd take a classical cd to relax too... or the other one being that you wake up on the Island go on "oh f**k I'm on a Desert Island" and then she said if she was "totally fucked up and piss at trying to get off the Island, it would be something more heavy".

Do you think the attitude towards sex and women is different in Finland and Argentina? and what attitued do you have?
This was a long answer but basically she said that in Argenttina people are more sensual and showing these emotions than in Finland, but then they keep covered up in Argentina and don't like showing their body off. In Finland, people are the opposite, they will go to the sauna naked and things but don't show their feelings.
She also said that she had always been interested in female sexuality and that she open minded about it but that she herself is a shy person.

I then got some things signed and meet her... she was very nice and was so happy about my dolls, she gave me another big hug and a kiss She was very happy about them and that I made some more... so it was nice to really see what she thought about them .

Then of course I had to say I have to go for our train but she was very sweet about it and told us to run for our train!
