Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg’s YouTube star is getting attention for more than her vocal skills: Maria Aragon is in Los Angeles shooting doing a photo shoot for Ralph Lauren.
“They’re there until Saturday,” said Rojuane Aragon, Maria’s older sister, reached by phone in Winnipeg.
Rojuane wasn’t sure on the specifics, but said she believes Maria is involved in a magazine shoot with some other children for the fashion label. Maria travelled to L.A. with her oldest sister, Linger.
Maria Aragon, who shot to fame last month after online praise from pop queen Lady Gaga, has seen a whirlwind of media attention since Gaga’s fateful tweet. The 10-year-old’s cover of Lady Gaga’s hit “Born This Way” on YouTube has been viewed more than 25 million times, and her story received international coverage, resulting in a duet with Gaga at her Toronto concert and an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ Los Angeles-based talk show.
Aragon recently opened for Filipino star Piolo Pascual at his Toronto performance. Rojuane said her sister has had some interest from the music industry, but no decisions have been made yet.
The young singer gets back to Winnipeg on Saturday, just in time for spring break. But there won’t be any interviews on the agenda: “She just wants to relax,” said Rojuane.
