ooo, I hope they come to North America in 2016. There's no way I can afford to fly over seas to see them, although I would if i could. Maybe i'll try my luck with the lottery

I'm in the same boat as you, bchoun. I'd love to take my daughter to Scandal as her first concert.

I love to see they in argentina, but i dont expect that xD
And im sooooo happy with the new album cant wait! :'D
.wow.

Mami's skin looks so white since she dyed her hair back to black .love. .love. 
Hope to see them have concert here in PH.
