Natalie of Nina Sky On ... The Duo's Name

Twins Natalie and Nicole Albino, 18, make up Nina Sky, best known for their infectious radio and club favorite, "Move Ya Body." The Puerto Rican sisters grew up in Queens.

Daugther Disrupts Parents' Bedroom

DEAR ABBY: My husband, "Rick," and I have a 4-year-old daughter, "Carmelle."
