"Let's end this on a good note.."

Another statement from Anna is on StarShineMag.



I just want to say something about this. Play getting back together was supposed to be a happy event for all of us fans. I was debating on whether or not to allow comments on this post right now, because I know all of this is going to stir things up even more, and I really don't want that on the site. But I guess part of being a fan is having the right to discuss what's going on with the group. I really don't want anyone going against Play or picking sides. I know this wasn't the girls' intentions at all. Trust me, I feel so bad about how all of this is coming about.

Thanks to those who e-mailed and commented about this. You guys are fast. :)

Anna: "Working on my book..."

Over the weekend, Sandy Lo met up with Anna for a writer's meeting. Seems like her book is in production!


twitter.com/authorsandylo

Anna also mentioned on her Facebook how she was "working on my book together with Sandy."

A while back there was an update about how Anna was teaming up with Sandy Lo on a book about the struggles of the entertainment industry. There has been a change, and their book will not be a nonfiction book according to a recent update from Sandy.

As many of you know, Anna Sundstrand and I are working on a book together. We can’t reveal too much yet, and to clarify previous statements, it will not be nonfiction. Hopefully we can tell you more soon. Anna would also like to thank all of her fans for your continued support.

Official Facebook Profiles

There has been a lot of questions about the girls real Facebook profiles. Anna and Janet are the only girls from the group that will accept fans on Facebook. Anna has said she adds us to "let us "into her world" and to let us know what's going on in her life and career."

Here are Anna and Janet's Facebook links. Again, I'm only posting these because I know they accept fans, even though these could also be considered their personal pages.
