  Antique Jewelry and Estate Jewelry, from Lang Antiques
Over these many years we have collected, perhaps, the largest collection of fine antique jewelry and estate jewelry under the sun - over 7,000 individual, authentic, one of a kind pieces representing every major design period of antique and estate jewelry.
Unlike antique dealers and contemporary jewelry stores who only carry a small selection of antique and estate jewelry, we have a vast collection of vintage jewelry to choose from.
In fact, Lang Antiques has perhaps the largest selections of antique, estate, and vintage jewelry.

  k.d. lang - Biography - AOL Music
The attention made lang a minor celebrity, which meant that when she launched a protest against meat eating in 1990, it became a media sensation.
Before the release of her fourth album, lang declared that she was a lesbian in an interview in The Advocate, which could have been a risky proposition, since Nashville's industry was notorious for not accepting people who fell outside of the margins of the mainstream.
(lang also went out on the road with Bennett for a successful co-headlining concert tour.) In 2004, after lang's contract with Sire Records ran its course, she signed with the artist-friendly Nonesuch imprint and recorded Hymns of the 49th Parallel, a collection of tunes by Canadian songwriters.

Although the country music establishment rewarded lang in spite of her eccentricities of dress and identity, the more conservative country audiences had a harder time accepting her, especially after she went public as a vegetarian and made an anti-meat television commercial.
lang, who does not view her lesbianism as the central factor of her life, found it difficult and often painful when she was criticized for not living up to the diverse demands of her audience.
lang remains an anomalous figure in the music world, both because she is a lesbian and because she refuses to confine herself within a specific genre.

 k. d. lang St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
Growing up in a farming and ranching town with a population of 650 gave lang her country roots, and a certain self-acceptance that comes from living where "everybody knows you." Her parents were both musical and, determined to nurture her children's cultural development, lang's mother drove them for hours over country roads to piano lessons.
Lang's soulful voice and exuberantly emotional renditions made a place for her within the country family, but her unconventional persona ensured it would never be a comfortable place.
This desperate, unfulfillable longing that throbs so effectively in lang's voice is perhaps one of the most powerful connections she makes with her young, late twentieth-century audience, who are familiar with the roots of addiction.

Lang's new release Reintarnationis a best-of anthology of her independent music from this period--from her self-released single, 1983's "Friday Dance Promenade" to material from 1989's Absolute Torch and Twang--as well as a smattering of lesser-known numbers from the Even Cowgirls Get The Blues soundtrack.
Lang's now-historic pipes and spiritied "cowboy-punk" interpretatins have created a seamless signature sound that can only begin to be described by "alt-country." Mining her early western-flavored classics, the first-ever compilation from this vocal great explores the ascendance of a brilliant career.
lang has largely moved away from the kind of uptempo rockabilly-tinged country twang that marked her early albums, and for many lang fans (such as myself) this has been a tremedous shame.
