24th March, 2008: Barbra Streisand Tea Memories
The little girl was called Sam and 30-some years ago she chanced into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, thanks to the antics of her older brother. Sam L. Lamp has recounted the tale for The Celebrity Cafe: she was invited to join Barbra Streisand for tea after her brother gave his tag-along sister the slip during play. “I remember her manager coming out and asking me if I wanted to have tea with ‘Barbie.’ Well, I thought he was talking about a doll not Ms. Streisand. He led me to the back and we sat and had tea and she was very sweet.”
What makes Miss Lamp’s tale especially interesting is knowing a little more about Streisand’s childhood. According to one celebrity site, in her youth, “Barbra found all sorts of ways to entertain herself while her mother buried herself in work. She played tea party and dress-up … [and] she spent hours singing in the halls of her apartment building.”
We’re glad to hear that Barbra continued her tea traditions into adulthood. And glad that she kept singing.

I’m a huge fan of Barbara Streisand. I love her style and always do my best to attend her concerts whenever she comes near to my town. But sometimes I can’t afford some prices. Lately a friend recommended me a site where to compare ticket prices for free and look for the cheapest one. I was so pleased because I used to have problems of money whenever I want to attend.

My purse is thin but I do love attend concerts.
