Gwen has really suceeded at establishing herself as a major solo artist. And quite creatively, I might add!
... and she is a truly nice person. My daughter got to meet her at a Tommy Hilfeger (sp?) fashion show i LA in the mid nineties and she was absolutely gracious and humble (as a matter of fact she was worried that she didn't do a good enough job on their set). OTOH Cheryl Crow (sp?) was also there and was a stuck up beotch.
