The Daily Roxette offers a summary of a dutch magazine article where Marie and Per tell about their current motivation and near future plans – including new recordings already this summer. Check it out!
For those of you who would like to celebrate Marie’s birthday in a extraordinary way 
, LittleMarie.net team has prepared a competition in which you can win one out of three home-made boxes with nine Mrs Bolyos pins. You just have to send them at littlemarie@littlemarie.net all questions you would like to ask Marie (that no one has ever done before). You can write your questions in three languages – English, French and Spanish. The deadline is the 30th of May.
I have absolutely no clue what it needs for a topic to become a trending topic on twitter, any one has a clue? 1000 tweets? 10000?
Just thought it would be cool and sweet if she would make it on the trending topics on her birthday!
Your thoughts?
