Lady Gaga and Elton John, two of the music worlds most self-referential and
self-aware performers, sang a duet at the Grammy Awards in a setting that made many references to Hollywood, fame,
and each other. It was a typically meta statement by Lady Gaga about her travails through the machinery of the
fame factory, as the stage set proclaimed, one reviewer wrote. How wonderful life is with Gaga in the world,
John sang. A meta statement? For those not tuned in to Twitter, Facebook, or ultrahip blogs, that may not make
any sense. Were used to seeing meta as a prefix, as in metaphysics, the philosophical study of the nature of
being, or in metatarsals, the long bones in the middle of your feet. If you happen to be an archaeologist, you
might know meta as the column that marks the beginning, end, or turn in a race in a Roman arena. And you might
have a vague sense that meta as a prefix means bigger. But used alone, as in the reference to Lady Gagas
performance, meta has a related but different meaning: Self-referential, or self-parodic, using the
characteristics you want to parody. And, though its slang, its starting to show up a lot.

In 1999 on a trip to Hawaii I discovered my true identity. With the Millennium approaching I knew I was the Millennium Mermaid. My destiny is to help make this world a better place.
As a young child in Kuwait I modeled, danced, sang, and acted. When I moved back to the Massachusetts I continued to sing, act, and dance. My friends know me as the Millennium Mermaid. Come and join me in my quest to make this world a better place................
